March 27, 200619 yr I am party to a bet, which needs to work out which TV show has sold to more countries - Miss Marple shows, or Poirot shows. That is, number of countries, NOT quantities. Can anyone help me find out? "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
March 27, 200619 yr This says the Marple series was broadcast The UK, US and Germany but it doesnt specify if they were the only countries to get Miss Marple. TV.com says that Poirot has been sold to 100+ countries. Fun Fact: there was a japanese anime version of both.

Cuz we got both Miss Marple and Poirot at some point. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
March 27, 200619 yr Canada doesn't count period People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

March 27, 200619 yr Poirot, i hope. "My little gray cells are a delicate matter that should not be disturbed by simplisities such as a silly game of sports" "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
March 27, 200619 yr In sweden we have.. oh, that was "Murder she wrote" that i was thinking of. No, Ill have to say that Monsieur Poirot dominated Swede TV, I cant even remeber Miss Marple DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture. "I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. "
March 27, 200619 yr Same here, mon ami. DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.
March 28, 200619 yr Author But how many countries for Miss Marple? I know we know Poirot more now, because frankly it's much better, then one has to remember the shows are more recent. Incidentally, did you know that Agatha Christie hated Poirot and kept trying to drop him? "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

March 30, 200619 yr I thought this was a putative contest to ascertain who would win a whodunnit-athon, the Belgian with a facial-hair-fetish, or the near-dead busy-body. I think Marple would wipe the floor with Poirot ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
March 30, 200619 yr Finland has had both. I think Marple would wipe the floor with Poirot ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You wish! This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
