Mon, 11 Sep 2023 00:00:31 GMT

Tune in as Gracie and Ellen dive headfirst into the maze of Agatha Christie's legacy, dissecting the troubling waters of racism within her iconic tales. While they're both dead-set on condemning any shade of racism, they're caught in a tug-of-war over historical context's role – is it a shield or just another excuse? And can we ever truly love a story and give the side-eye to its creator? Ellen thinks so, but Gracie? Not so sure. As they peel back the layers of this latest episode of Poirot, they stumble upon a fresh can of worms – Orientalism. So, if you're up for a rollercoaster chat that zigzags from age-old debates to the glaring lights of modern TV, Gracie and Ellen have got your ticket.
