Can I get 28 small oblong guesses for this one please... 
I will have the answer from 0 - 6 pips for each half guess I make. I will work with a strategy of elimination, all the wrong answers will fall over one by one like it is in a row.

Just watched Curtain: Poirot's Last Case.
Forceful performance and very sad.
25 years and the era is over.
No-one else could play him again in my lifetime.

Atcherley, the last ever Poirot story was "Elephants Can Remember", in 1972. "Curtain" was written during WW2.
All this is is the last of one of the (presumably endless) re-interpretation TV series.
Someone else will be playing him in a couple of years (because, God knows, no-one in the TV biz can write original work, any more), and that will be the definitive rendition (until that ends and another definitive rendition comes along).

1. Stop calling him Atcherley. (Sorry about that non-allCaps shout.)
2. I agree.
3. The next definitive rendition will have the style of the day, but won't necessarily be better and usually it is worse.
4. I am especially appreciative of the "Elephants Can Remember" title. It is similar to my next TV drama which is titled "Sunshine's don't forget".
5. I have a few friends who are crazy about Poirot. Personally, I just can't trust a man, or a woman, who has a moustache like that, or indeed hair like that.
6. The stories are good.

That's what they said when Ustinov quit the role.

I'm holding out for "Raindrops don't give a toss".

Never trust any man with a moustache, unless it's a ridiculous or completely un-coiffured one.

A clean cut would be just too civilised.

 Raindrops don't give a toss
A precise and eloquent answer to the last question as well. Thanks

Ain't that the truth. 
Suchet is a great actor, but I can't stand the character of Poirot.

I'm in Belgium this weekend, so I'll raise a glass of Hercule[^] to him. ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)
If, that is, we can get the barman to understand. Every time we ask for it, whatever bar we're in, the barman claims that he can't understand our accent. We go through several iterations of "Hercule", "Pardon?", before giving up and pointing to the menu, at which point he replies, "Ah! Hercule" with no discernible difference between his pronunciation and ours.
Bloody Belgians! Why can't they just speak English?

I use PC Anywhere to support some clients' systems. But PC Anywhere doesn't work well on my Windows 8.1, and the Symantec site says it does not support 8 or 8.1.
I can use Remote Desktop for routine configuration, but RD cannot transfer files.
What do you use when you need to transfer files to a remote machine?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
