I'm not sure I'm on board with Kenneth Branagh's 'Action Poirot' - The bridge scenes in Orient Express were decidedly not in character.

No such thing. Everyone knows the only true Poirot is David Suchet.
You sir, are 100% correct. (Are we allowed to talk about Peter Ustinov?)
Unpopular opinion, I've never liked Poirot. Christie's detectives get on my nerves and I like her stand-alones better.

Anyone who likes golden-age mysteries should check out John Dickson Carr/Carter Dickson. Wonderful plots with twist and turns and much more entertaining detectives. Try "The Three Coffins" and see what you think.
