As seen on PBS's Masterpiece Mystery! Now remastered, and in the original U.K. broadcast order. David Suchet stars as Agatha Christie's mustachioed mystery-solver in these four feature-length episodes from the hit series. Poirot investigates the baffling cases with the help of Captain Hastings (Hugh Fraser, Sharpe), Chief Inspector Japp (Philip Jackson, Little Voice), and Miss Lemon (Pauline Moran). Newly remastered, these editions capture every opulent detail of Art Deco-era Europe. Guest stars include Damian Lewis (Homeland, Band of Brothers) and Kate Buffery (Wish Me Luck).
Agatha Christie's Poirot - Series 6 comes to DVD and Blu-ray Disc this month. Previously reported with a release date of this coming Tuesday the 14th, Acorn Media has finalized a street date for the DVD ($39.99 SRP) and Blu-ray Disc ($49.99 SRP) sets of this title as being August 28th. Presented in 1.33:1 full screen aspect ration, with English mono sound and English subtitles, you'll get a 4-disc set running 415 minutes on DVD, and on the BD version you'll get a 2-disc set with slightly longer cuts running 428 minutes, presented in the same aspect ratio but at 1080p HD resolution, plus English 2.0 PCM uncompressed audio, and English subtitles. Both contain these 4 mysteries:
