Love the reason Poirot gives for referring to himself in the third person. Couldn't help being amused how he, once again, proves himself to be his own biggest fan with that response. Poirot, he is incomparable, and he would be the first to agree. (Gotta love him!)
Totally. I wish he'd had a bit more romance. Still I suppose that's the point his loyalty and love for the Countess which is rather cool but unrequited by him if memory serves correctly. Vera Rossakoff
@@lt.ripley1590 Vera was a selfish cow who used Poirot's "feelings" for her terribly to her own ends. She truly had no interest in him but to get away with crimes, and eventually allow her daughter to get away with crimes too.
@@kugelweg Nah this is totally wrong. Her daughter (the psycho) mentioned how Poirot is all she talked about a lot of the time. Vera genuinely had feelings for Poirot. Doesn't necessarily mean she's a good person
@@nkechi4635 True, but I feel like Vera, in the t.v. adaptation, was playing him. If she was interested in him she wouldn't have jilted him in Murder in Mesopotamia. She also was being ridiculously, over-the-top flirtatious with him in this adaptation. This is strange considering the fact they had a distant type of relationship when they first met and now haven't seen each for 20 years and she's all over him like white on rice. She suspected her daughter of treachery and was playing Poirot.

The reason is given and it takes around 3 seconds!😂
David Suchet - No1 Poirot
Indeed. There is David Suchet as 'Hercule Poirot' ... and then there's everybody else.
In case you wondered, in French dubbed version, Hercule Poirot has no accent.
Well he should!
He is Belgian not French!😂
Amazing look at Public versus Private self, The Stage we all live on, amplified 100 fold by being a damn genius AND a celebrity of mythical status.
Well said.
I’m still waiting for “Poirot’s Name is Poirot”
And the 'reason' remains a mystery.
No because he says at the end Poirot likes to keep his distance from his genius. That was it. I knew that already I've seen that episode. That's not the real reason. You'd have to ask the late great Agatha.
It helps to see the world out of a third perspective, looking down from above rather then being influenced by all the things around is a genius way to solve especially crime. It helps to remain unbiased in situations where our own conscious, feelings, impressions muddle with the facts.
@@lt.ripley1590 Except Poirot doesn't usually do that in the novels and short stories. In fact, I don't recall him ever doing that in the stories. It only occurs in this silly adaptation. It didn't happen in the short stories "The Labors of Hercules", not that I recall.
Did you watch and listen to the video to the end?
Sir David Suchet IS 'Hercule Poirot'.
Anyone know which episode was this?
THe Labours of Hercules the one where he tells his reason for referring to himself in the 3rd person. Series 13 episode 4.
@@lt.ripley1590 Thank you.
Multiple episodes.
Perhaps he had parents like mine.
It's a trait used by high functioning autistic people (Asperger's Syndrome) who find it impossible to talk about themselves. Talking in the third person is a solution to a problem.
It's not only autistic people who do that. Many cognitively delayed people do that because they lack appropriate language skills.
Also, Poirot clearly wasn't written to be Autistic. He never refers to himself in the 3rd person in the stories that Agatha Christie wrote, so there's that.
Poirot is very proud and confident in his detective skills. He is also quite dramatic. I am guessing, referring to himself in third person is showing his egotistical side.
I think it's because he is highly aware of his reputation as a master solver of crime, so much so that the reputation and notoriety almost take on a life of their own, hence the third party reference. He's an INTJ like myself, so whilst I would never say "It is I, Jasmine Surreal, master of the art and poetry", I can analyse and see the reasons perhaps why he'd choose to do that. Its like his myth is Poirot.
Isnt that second person referring?!
2nd person is a narrator saying you your and you're
I honestly thought this was funny
This side of him
Well that was pointless. I don't often say something even a tiny big negative but wow was it a waste of time? Because he answers Simon Anstell by saying I seperate myself from my genius! Deary me.
No Kenneth Branagh is BETTER
sorry not sorry
