S1 E1
S1E1, "The Adventure of the Clapham Cook": Poirot is hired for a case that seems too small for him, a missing cook, but it soon turns into something far more interesting. Light, charming, and clever. Good for learners because the dialogue is clear and unhurried, with everyday chunks around hiring someone, asking questions, and describing problems, in a polite, old-fashioned tone.
