This is the end theme from Poirot's Five Little Pigs. This is an extended version with thanks to Ronald Corp and the New London Orchestra. Hope you like
On the apogee of a golden summer, a beautiful family was destroyed. The gods were jealous. This was the stellar crescendo to the best Poirot series ever made. Set to Satie's mysterious Gnosienne 1, it captures a lost era that at once faded into sepia when those people were gone. Like looking at pictures of Russian royals before the revolution or the promising young men on the eve of 1914 who never came back from the war. The echoes of the past and aching promise of what could have been. I'm haunted by this one.

I watched every single one of them yet somehow Five Little Pigs stuck with me more than others. It is a tragedy, a crime of envy, and a great love between two sisters. One can do nothing else than to shed a tear.

I think this is one of my favorite episodes. The 5 different stories weaving through each other and together, the acting, the emotion in the scenes, all combined with this incredible music Many of the episodes in various seasons have a wistful or melancholy feel, but this episode is special and unique. It stands out in my mind each time I watch it, and lingers in my emotions after it ends.

As I see it, this is the most special and emotionally intense story Agatha Christie ever came up with. There is something trascendent about it. Never in my life will I forget the way it made me feel when I read the final pages. It gave me hangover for days. It's one of those rare instances in crime stories in which the deceased seems to be more alive than their killer. "I didn't realize I was killing myself - not him." Those are not the words of an alive human being, but of a lifeless ghost of the past, a tormented spirit, a withered flower; Amyas and Caroline though... they seem to be together alive somewhere. Their love - a complex, intimate, externally unfathomable love - has survived death. A melancholic tragedy masterfully set in the twilight of summertime. I will go on dreaming of it for years to come.

Seriously, one the most poignant and saddest Episodes I Have seen via the BBC....or Miss Marple or Poirot---Tragic--a Greek Tragedy. The hurt, that perhaps---if they all pull together, they re-establish that Promise of that Summer's Day, and Live. Alas, poor Philip--given the time-frame; his 'great love' forever lost. Bless them all....Kudos to the Composer of this episodes Score for the apt choice of Satie's ''Gnossienne ''Nr. 1----the 'gnostic mysteries' of the rationale for all this Heartache.....so much, revealed at the end, and more to discover--forward.....into the Light....

Favourite Poirot episode. The flashbacks are shot as from another era, as tiny trails of memories, which is very immersive. The music is haunting. You're left feeling a sense of injustice - for Caroline, who wasn't perfect, who was troubled, but was always striving to be better and so full of love, and how her life was snuffed out of her. Poirot felt it too.

David Suchet's emotion during the scene with Lucy having the gun...and then the music playing as the family picture scene is replayed and fades out. Gets me each and every time I watch this episode. Many of the episodes in various seasons have a wistful or melancholy feel, but this episode is special and unique. It stands out in my mind each time I watch it, and lingers in my emotions after it ends.

Originally--at a friend's house-- had seen this episode when 1st aired on a PBS station. It was overwhelmingly popular for the Station, that a month later; re-aired. It was in group discussion and 'fan analysis' that a Guest, from London, said that in England it had already aired, and there was a bit of Controversy over the fact that the Suite was to have been the closing ending number; NOT, as heard here--the atypical BBC 'melody'. But the Director with a very weak back-bone caved in, to a Prissy, hissy fit thrown by 'dear Artistic Directors' of the whole Poirot series and the BBC itself. As Gunning did have some 'artistic enemies' in the BBC Cabal. Hence, what we hear, most enjoyably is this mini-suite...and not the originally sketched inter-weaving and closing....sad.

I liked that episode. Sure it was great, but I hate how they changed Philip's story. It cast a shade on Caroline! She was in his room, but changed her mind, because loved her husband too much and nothing happenned. Philip was offended by her rejection and that's why he told Puaro such harsh things about her. He was just pathetic jerk who tried to sleep with his best friend's wife and couldn't bear rejection. In a movie though he was sympathetic character.
