Poirot receives a note from wealthy pork pie manufacturer Benedict Farley urgently requesting a meeting. The elderly tycoon explains a recurring dream in which he commits suicide in the library at midday using a revolver. He asks whether Poirot has any experience of a victim being hypnotised into committing suicide - Poirot has not. When Farley is found dead with a gun in his hand, Poirot is convinced that foul play is afoot. (iTunes)

The Dream is definitely the most accomplished, most playful and best-constructed case of the first series, benefiting especially from a well-thought-out plot, and it's really a shame that it's one of those 50-minute episodes, as this one could have carried a feature-length running time. In addition to that, I was amused by the typewriter storyline.

Some people may deserve some punishment for how they behave, but still, death is a punishment that not everyone considers acceptable. Hercule Poirot never accepts murder, which he clearly shows, so he investigates the murder of a factory owner who treated his employees like dirt. The great variation with the substitution and how the crime is brilliantly reconstructed.
