Richard Hope

As the Doctor makes his final journey to the shores of Lake Silencio in Utah, he knows only one thing can keep the universe safe – his own death. But has he reckoned without the love of a good woman?

It is the most important day in the history of Earth: the dawn of a new age of harmony or the start of its final war. The Doctor must face his most difficult challenge yet. It is a battle in which he cannot take sides and a day when nobody must die...

An unmanned spaceship hurtles towards certain destruction - unless the Doctor can save it, and its impossible cargo...of dinosaurs! By his side a ragtag gang of adventurers; a big game hunter, an Egyptian Queen and a surprised member of the Pond family. But little does the Doctor know there is someone else onboard who will stop at nothing to keep hold of his precious, prehistoric cargo.

Heads roll, quite literally, when a movie crew begins filming an adventure classic set during the French Revolution.

Poirot (David Suchet) takes on his toughest challenge yet as he races to prove a convicted killer is innocent. Mrs McGinty was killed by a brutal blow to the head, and her lodger James Bentley (Joe Absolom – Vincent) is sentenced to hang for the murder. Superintendent Spence (Richard Hope – The Shellseekers) is convinced the evidence was just too obvious and asks his old friend Hercule Poirot to investigate. As Poirot joins forces with famed crime novelist Ariadne Oliver (Zoë Wanamaker – My Family) to save Bentley from the gallows, he doesn’t realise his own life is in danger. The cast also includes Amanda Root (The Forsyte Saga), Paul Rhys (Vincent & Theo), Simon Shepherd (Warriors) and Siân Phillips (Ivanhoe).
