Agatha Christie: Poirot

Renowned painter Amyas Crale is murdered, allegedly poisoned by his wife Caroline who went to the gallows for her crime. Fourteen years later in 1938, their grown up daughter Lucy returns from her life in Canada with new evidence — a letter written to her by her mother on the eve of her hanging, declaring her innocence. Poirot agrees to dig up the past, but warns Lucy he may discover things she will not wish to hear. Based on the novel by Agatha Christie.

    I first remember Racheal from her mother on Parky, remember those that would a mother want to bite her bottom because she was so beautiful? And so she is, she IS her mothers daughter and so she is successful in her own right as an actress.
    I have doubts that Rachael will live up to her mothers expectations, after all, we live with Emma Peel, like we live with Cathy Gale and Pussy Galore although Honor has not been honored, if you know what I mean.
    Yet for all this Rachael is without doubt her mothers daughter.

    This is so weird, I watched this excellent installment of Poirot on Youtube.com last night. I had no idea that the actress playing the part of Caroline Crale was in fact Diana Rigg's daughter. When The Avengers movie was made 10 years ago, why didn't they cast Rachael?

    Johnny, I expect Rachael wasn't considered as she wasn't an established actress then. When casting for The Avengers, she would still have been at university in Edinburgh — and 1998 was actually the year she appeared in her first film, which was a very small part. She often speaks of her first film role and how "green" she was. I don't think she would've been up for a lead role back then!
