Episode Description

Frankie and Adam had the rare privilege of talking to one of the most indelible Poirot villains of all time - David Hunter from Taken At The Flood aka Elliot Cowan - in fact, over on Discord, YOU voted him as the scariest Poirot villain of all time...

In the first of what we hope will be a continuing series of discussions with the great Poirot villains, Elliot Cowan joins us for an exclusive discussion about the inner workings of adapting Agatha Christie for the screen, how he turned a few days' rehearsals into one of the most iconic villains in the series, what David Suchet was really like, the fascinating story of his acting career, and the ways in which he is using his talents to nurture the next generation of performers
