As a nice collector’s gift set and a compilation of highlights from past box set releases, Acorn Media is releasing the Agatha Christie Mysteries Lover’s Collection with four DVDs from previous collections.  Here are the titles with link to their original coverage:

Pale Horse

Poirot – The Mysterious Affairs At Styles

Tommy & Tuppence – Partners In Crime: Secret Affair/Affair Of The Pink Pearl

http://www.fulvuedrive-in.com/review/2014/Tommy+&+Tuppence+-+Partners

 

 

The Marple volume is from the underrated new series with a guest turn by Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous, The New Avengers), while Horse is not bad, Poirot never worked for me though this volume is as good as any of those shows and Tommy is interesting enough.  You can visit the four reviews to see if you want this volume or would rather just get one to all of the others.  Note there are additional show sets available outside of the links.
