the bits i like are when poirot asks hastings "What make of dog is BOB and also he asks why charles calls you BATTLER , HASTINGS says BATTLER HASTINGS

The ending with Bob watching Poirot sail away on the boat always makes me so sad.  You KNOW he wanted to go with Poirot.

The cut to Wishbone just cracked me up. "Then let's not blame the dog right away." I loved that show!

It is impossible to see Bob without expressing great enthusiasm over his cuteness. 🐾🐶

That dog had is THE cutest, and completely stole the show as well as my heart.

Honestly I always liked this one growing up, one because cute doggie. But also because the story turns a messed up marriage of an angry husband and scared wife on its head. But also I always liked the killer's acting in the big reveal, how the switch had been flipped and the mask was dropped with everyone stunned faces to the reveal. Also, the way that Poirot would say the name Bob.

David Suchet and Hugh Fraser will forever be Poirot and Hastings to me (recently Fraser has become my favorite audiobook narrator for Christie novels.)  Seeing "Dumb Witness" with the gloriously handsome Bob was what convinced me that his little Belgian detective had a savior faire that was unmistakable and irrepressible.
New stubble to your channel and enjoying it immensely!

One thing I do like about the adaptation is that Bob is smart enough to clear his name to Poirot why he couldn't have been responsible for Emily's fall down the stairs.

Bob is so gorgeous. I teared up when he was not wanted after his Mistress died. I will have Bob. 🐶 loved your video. Thank You. 👏🇦🇺

Regarding the death by gas scene, up until the discover of natural gas under the North sea which is non toxic the British used gas that was produced by burning coke which was made from coal and this was deadly if breathed in for any length off time. When the UK switched to natural gas the self inflicted death rate plummeted dramatically.

This one is great. And it hints at Poirot's eternal battle between the rational (this dog is a pain to care for) and the empathetic (this dog is so damn cute and loves me). Poirot gazing at Bob on the shore is played for laughs and sentimentality but is a peek at the darker version in later episodes as Poirot heavily regrets never marrying or committing to love.

Bob is the real star of this episode. ❤❤❤

I still think of Hercules Porridge when our detective pronounces his name.

Hard to dislike when it has that dog.

I love Bob in this ep, like you said, he is sooooo cute.  Such a sweet face.

This was also one of the earliest Suchet episodes I ever saw. Not sure if it was the first, but I’ve always found it memorable, especially the green smoke, Bob’s cuteness (I’m not even a dog person and I love him!), and the initial clue. Despite this, both the book and episode portray Dr. Tanios so well that I have doubted my memory of the solution more than once over the years, both while reading the book and watching the episode. I’ve been enjoying your reviews very much, so thank you!

My family watched this show during my early childhood. This was the episode I remember the most, especially the green smoke before Emily died, which frightened me so much.

I love that you cast Dr Donaldson with David Tennant's Ten

I saw this movie years ago, but the only thing I remember is that I LOVED BOB! I fact I swore that  if I ever adopted a dog, I would name him BOB! Or' her.

(No Bob yet but I haven't forgotten,.)

"Dumb Witness" is hands down one of the best episodes in the series.  Adaptations were a huge help!
