Chatting With Sherri welcomes Professor, Agatha Christie expert and author; Dr Mark Aldridge! Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Greatest Detective in the World; Hercule Poirot has had a near-permanent presence in the public eye ever since the 1920 publication of The Mysterious Affair at Styles. From Agatha Christie's earliest conceptions and publication history, to forays on the stage and screen, the story of Poirot is as fascinating as it is enduring. Mark Aldridge tells this story decade-by-decade, exploring and analyzing Poirot's many and often wildly different appearances, following the detective to present day when he is enjoying a worldwide renaissance.  Agatha Christie on Screen; This book is a comprehensive exploration of 90 years of film and television adaptations of the world's best-selling novelist's work. Drawing on extensive archival material, it offers new information regarding both the well-known and forgotten screen adaptations of Agatha Christie's stories, including unmade and rare adaptations, some of which have been unseen for more than half a century. This history offers intriguing insights into the discussions and debates that surrounded many of these screen projects – something that is brought to life through previously unpublished correspondence from Christie herself and a new wide-ranging interview with her grandson, Mathew Prichard.  Dr Mark Aldridge is a senior lecturer in Film and Television at Southampton Solent University, UK, specialising in film and television history.

Civil rights campaigner Mark Aldridge shared how Aussies have also been met with mind-melting force, as the tyrannical police also reportedly utilized sonic devices to burn crowds in Canberra. Canada and Australia have officially adopted communism, and with it, the Stalinist regimes have created their own version of the NKVD secret police.

Agatha Christie put her decision to become a writer down to a lack of education and a capacity for day-dreaming. Her murder mysteries, full of ingenious plot twists, are still regarded by many as the finest examples of crime fiction and have sold in their billions in the English language and in translation. Although the world she depicts is considered by some to be cosy and genteel, and her plots formulaic, a new generation of screenwriters is bringing out the darker side of Christie's imagination. So what accounts for her continuing global success, when today's crime fiction tends to be grittier and more realist? Bridget Kendall is joined by Dr Michelle Kazmer, Professor in the School of Information at Florida State University, who's combined a lifelong passion for crime fiction with study into how we use information – such as clues or evidence; Dr Mark Aldridge, Associate Professor of Film and Television at Solent University and the author of Agatha Christie on Screen and Poirot: The Greatest Detective in the World; and James Prichard, Agatha Christie's great-grandson. Award-winning crime writer Ragnar Jónasson also explains how Agatha Christie's novels influenced his own work. Produced by Fiona Clampin for BBC World Service.

Remember the Las Vegas shooting? It's impressive if you do, because bizarrely, it's not something the press or the government ever wants to talk about. Fifty-nine people died in that shooting, including Stephen Paddock, yet even now four years later we have no motive. Despite taking place at a massive country music concert, there is very little footage of the shooting. Any time they can, the press frames a shooter as motivated by “white supremacy.” But Stephen Paddock was white and they didn't really bother. Other than a quick push to ban bump stocks, there was very little chatter about Vegas. Mindy Robinson joins us to discuss. The left can't admit that their precious vaccines have failed, so they're tripling down and becoming more obsessed than ever with more shots in more arms. If a third dose doesn't cut it, they'll start mandating four. Dr. Ariyana Love of Finland has been one of our leading guests on the question of whether graphene oxide is in these vaccines. She recently shared some upsetting news with us: Dr. Andreas Noack, the German doctor who claims to have found microscopic nano-razors within a vaccine sample, has died, just days after his most recent findings. Dr. Ariyana Love joins us. Karen Kingston joins Stew Peters to discuss a possible HIV Glycoprotein found within the Covid 19 bioweapon.  In the former democracy of Australia we are now seeing large-scale prison camps built in the name of stopping coronavirus. Yes, prison camps being built on what was, once, an entire continent-sized prison colony. Outside the city of Darwin, authorities are running a 2,000-person prison camp at Howard Springs. Mark Aldridge joins us to discuss.

Concluding the second series, Thank Your Lucky Stars shows David seriously ill in hospital and the remaining Porters struggle to find him. Add some social commentary, a bizarre musical number and some daring spiritual themes, this is one of the darkest sitcom episodes ever. Dr Mark Aldridge and J.D. dissect this very brilliant episode, along with Andrew Marshall's memories.

For the next two weeks, Agatha Christie expert Dr Mark Aldridge joins J.D. to discuss the two-parter that brings together the surreal narrative and style of Series Two. In Bird on a Wire, as preparations are underway for Rona's wedding, there's chaos, cold feet and a classic scene involving Bill's head stuck in cat flap and Rona hanging from the light fitting! This all culminates with perhaps the darkest cliff-hanger in sitcom history.

Jeremy is joined by Mark Aldridge, academic and author of Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Greatest Detective in the World, to discuss 1976 comic suspense thriller Family Plot, Alfred Hitchcock's final film and starring Barbara Harris, William Devane, Bruce Dern and Karen Black. Their conversation touches on matters including the Master's unproduced work, televisual cinema, second-generation nostalgia, the hiring and firing of actors and damage to the fourth wall.

He was awarded his PhD at the University of Southampton in 2009, and previously wrote the definitive book about the film and television adaptations of Agatha Christie’s work, Agatha Christie on Screen, which was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2016. Originally from Devon, he now lives in Hampshire with his partner, James.Hercule Poirot has had a near-permanent presence in the public eye ever since the 1920 publication of The Mysterious Affair at Styles. The detective who solves diabolical crimes using his “little grey cells” has enamored audiences not only in the original novels, short stories, and plays, but also across radio, television, and movies.From Agatha Christie’s earliest conceptions and publication history, to forays on the stage and screen, the story of Poirot is as fascinating as it is enduring. Mark Aldridge tells this story decade-by-decade, exploring and analyzing Poirot’s many and often wildly different appearances, following the detective to present day when he is enjoying a worldwide renaissance. Packed with original research, never-before-published correspondence, and images from the Agatha Christie archives, Agatha Christie's Poirot will delight fans of Hercule Poirot and mystery lovers alike.

Here's a listen to the entire interview we did with Poirot expert Mark Aldridge, which is a very in-depth conversation about the tv series and character.

It's been a while since we've had Mark on our show, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to fawn over his new book, Agatha Christie's Poirot: The Greatest Detective in the World. This also gave us as good an excuse as any to chatter on about Poirot for an hour or so.... If you feel so inclined (and we wager you will), go to https://bookshop.org to (pre-)order a copy for yourself, if you don't have one already.

This year’s celebrations of the centenary of Hercule Poirot’s debut and, arguably, the dawn of the Golden Age of Detection have obviously been overshadowed by wider events, but there’s still much to celebrate — not least of which is a new book about Poirot from Mark Aldridge.

Mark is joined on the podcast for the Noirwich 2020 finale by crime writer Sophie Hannah, author of the Poirot continuation novels including the new The Killings at Kingfisher Hill.

In this episode of the podcast, I sit down for a conversation with Mark Aldridge, an experienced church leader and member of the national leadership team with the New Wine Network. He was the speaker at our recent church weekend away, and we talk about what he shared that weekend, what his recent convictions have been about God, what he's experienced of the supernatural power of God...and water buffalos!

Mark Aldridge, a director of Church Leadership in Development for New wine works with the regional directors to equip, encourage and enable leaders. He joins us today to speak on Spiritual Authority.

It's election season all across Adelaide, and after long deliberation we've finally found a political candidate we're willing to endorse (in addition to Mark Aldridge of course). For the City of Charles Sturt we will be giving our endorsement to Paul Kitsis. We were particularly won over by his eye catching flyer and his commitment to democracy. We should also point out that neither of us live in his electorate, we just think "you's" should all get out there and show him some love.    Check out his Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/VOTE-1-Mayor-Paul-Kitsis-Candidate-City-of-Charles-Sturt-2153414988260012/   #AdeLOL #heapsgoodhistory #AdeLOLLive #ComedyPodcast#AdelaideComedy #SAHistory #havealaughhaveaLOL #GibbsEmAGo #MakeCharlesSturtYousAgain  

Recorded on the last day of United 18 Week Two, Mark reminds us that God has adventures ahead for us if we allow him to stretch us into greater dependence on him.

And then it was time to talk about the film adaptations (and one televised adaptation, too). We were lucky enough to have Dr. Mark Aldridge, author of Agatha Christie on Screen, back on the podcast for an interview about the many films based on this novel. We hope you enjoy... and that you also forgive us the telephonic tinniness of our voices. Alas, we could not fly to England to interview Mark in person. Maybe next year?

When Mark Aldridge was a little peeved that The Advertiser wasn't covering independents in their 'Off the Record' podcast (even though they were), we decided to give SA's Better Independent Candidate for Ramsay a whole episode devoted to him. Mark's brilliant community work, care for animals, farmer's market and excellent deals on quality used vehicles truly make him a man of the people. Sure, he's made a few mistakes and enemies along the way, but what decent political candidate hasn't? Beer of the episode by Hobo Brewing, straight outta' Salisbury. Visit Mark's website today and join us on his campaign team next election. Vote 1 Aldridge & AdeLOL.

Our first interview! We were so thrilled to chat with Christie scholar Mark Aldridge, author of Agatha Christie on Screen, about the many film adaptations of Murder on the Orient Express…. Please join us in the second (and final) installation of our exploration of this Christie classic. And have no fear: we *will* be revisiting this topic come November when the new film adaptation is released!
