The Labours Of Hercule

Slather on your sunblock, mes amis! We're kicking off season eight with Evil Under the Sun and it's a scorcher of a mystery.

Poirot's attempt at rest and relaxation is foiled once again when a notoriously flirtatious starlet is found strangled on the beach of the health resort. But when all of the suspects have air-tight alibis, who could possibly be the killer? Luckily Poirot has Captain Hastings, Inspector Japp and Miss Lemon on hand to help solve the case one last time...

N.B. We talk about the second "A Very Hercule Hallowe’en Online Murder Mystery Night" in the episode - unfortunately, this has now sold out! Apologies if we got your hopes up, mes amis, and thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket!

Just as everyone has relaxed into their first drink or two, the lights suddenly start to flicker, and then turn off. In those few seconds of pitch darkness, a scream pierces through the crowded room – one guest will not leave the party alive...
