These are the only two coming attractions that attract me in the slightest.

But I sure hope this Agatha Christie adaptation isn't the dreary frackin' mess they made of the Malkovich Poirot, "The ABC Murders." It wasn't Agatha Christie, it wasn't Poirot and it was awful.

The era's music choices for the soundtrack of this season reminds me of the best episodes in the George Gently series, which I liked so much.  I didn't care much for the previous Endeavour season -- I tend to have to force myself to start watching all them though.  But this one intrigues me already.

Baghdad Central looks interesting; debuting on UK Channel 4.  Wonder if it will get here in some way or another that I can see it too.  Those of you who have Brit Box, is it likely to carry this program?
