Yesterday evening David Suchet wrote in his twitter that they had finished filming “The Curtain”. I know the epoch of Agatha Cristie doesn’t end with this, as it didn’t end when the last book was written, or when the last breath of Dame Agatha was released.

I understand that the era doesn't end; it goes on in a different way... but it still feels bitter.
