We hope you're in for something "ranty" because this edition of the Labours Of Hercule podcast is completely unbridled!

Brace yourself, mes amis - things are about to get a little bit groovy, baby... Join Adam and Frankie as they attempt to tackle and decode one of the most unsual Christie adaptations ever made, The Alphabet Murders (1965), starring Tony Randall as Hercule Poirot. Can Poirot stop ABC before they strike again? Can his accent hold up for more than five seconds at a time? Did the script writers actually read the original book? What the heck is going on?! The answer, mes amis, is far from as easy as ABC...
