![]() ![]() Finally, he commits suicide in a hotel in Baghdad. ![]() He is then attacked by the brother of the murdered man. Here he is involved in a sideplot about the murder of a drug peddler at the beginning of the episode. The character of the drug addict Joseph Mercado is embellised. Mr Reiter and David Emmott, archaeologists at the dig are also dropped. His daughter Sheila becomes the daughter Superintendent Maitland, the local head of police. ![]() The character of Dr Giles Reilly is dropped. Here the experiment in which nurse Leatheran gives a cry in Mrs Leidner's room is done by Hastings and not by Poirot. Leatheran is demoted from the protagonist and Poirot's assistant to a fairly minor supporting character and another suspect. Here he is made the uncle of one of the characters, William Coleman, thus reducing Amy Leatheran's contribution drastically. The characters are able to commute to and from Baghdad on day trips and Superintendent Maitland operates out of Baghdad instead of Hassanieh.īy far the biggest change is the addition of Captain Hastings. The location of the dig is still Tell Yarimjah, but this appears to be much nearer to Baghdad. The adaptation is fairly faithful to the original novel with a few minor changes. ![]()
