Quirky Quentin Dress (Simplicity 9360)

I have been binge-watching Poirot, a British murder mystery series, wherein actor David Suchet gets to explore and reprise the role of Agatha Christie's Belgian detective over the course of seventy episodes, from 1989 to November 2013.  Each episode is interesting, but Poirot's character arc over the whole series is quite interesting, too.  Amazingly, when you consider how many years the series ran, how many production teams and writers came and went, and even a change of studios and format midway through, there's is good continuity and a consistent timeline.  The earliest we see of Poirot is in the late 1920's, when he arrives in England as a refugee from WWI Belgium, and the latest we see is in the 1949, when he dies.  However, most episodes are set in the world of 1936.

I highly recommend David Suchet's Being Poirot for insight into the making of the series.
