In this episode, we review Lucy Worsley's fantastic new documentary mini-series Agatha Christie: Lucy Worsley on the Mystery Queen, which is available now on BBC iPlayer.

This series was like catnip to Agatha Christie superfans like us, so we just had to do a deep dive into it!

In the podcast, we discuss Agatha's life, including her childhood, her relationships and marriages, and her infamous 1926 disappearance. We consider how Agatha Christie, who presented herself as an 'ordinary' woman, became one of the greatest novelists of all time.

We also debate some of the most pressing issues surrounding Agatha Christie's work. Who was the best (and worst) on-screen Poirot? Exactly how big is Poirot's moustache? And should Poirot ever have a love interest?

Warning: This episode does contain spoilers; however, these are clearly signposted, so you can just skip ahead if you don't want to hear them.
