En décembre 1935, le célèbre train de l'Orient-Express quitte Istanbul à destination de Calais, qu'il atteindra au terme de trois jours de voyage. Pressé de rentrer à Londres, Hercule Poirot, le détective belge, a pu trouver une place au tout dernier moment. Le train s'ébranle. L'un des passagers, Ratchett, un riche Américain, vient trouver Hercule Poirot et lui raconte qu'une terrible menace pèse sur sa propre personne. Au matin, Ratchett est retrouvé mort, le corps lardé de coups de couteau. L'assassin est forcément parmi les voyageurs puisque le wagon à destination de Calais est verrouillé et séparé du reste du train. C'est alors qu'Hercule Poirot entre véritablement en scène, à la recherche du moindre indice qui lui permettrait de retrouver la trace du meurtrier…

Dans son antre ultra-moderne, il entretient des membres humains prélevés sur des patients fraîchement décédés (et qu'il a d'ailleurs parfois aidés pour cela) dans le but de réaliser une expérience de chirurgie totale et de créer un homme de toutes pièces. Oui, Millar est un nouveau Docteur Frankenstein...

Private Schulz is a BBC television comedy drama serial set mostly in Germany, during and immediately after World War II. It stars Michael Elphick in the title role and Ian Richardson playing various parts. Other notable actors included Tony Caunter, Billie Whitelaw, Billy Murray and Mark Wingett. Over six one-hour episodes, it tells the story of a German fraudster and petty criminal who is forced against his will to serve in the SS. In a story based on the real, though unrealised, plot by the Germans known as Operation Bernhard, he tricks the Nazis into making counterfeit British five pound notes, millions of which will be used to destroy the British economy. However, Schulz is primarily interested in stealing them. Other elements of the story based on the history of the period include the Venlo incident, when two British intelligence officers were abducted from the Netherlands at the very start of the war, and Salon Kitty. This was a Berlin brothel which was secretly run by the SD, for the purpose of spying on its wealthy clients, who were often prominent German government officials or military officers. Additionally, many of the main characters are real people.

Sunday Night Theatre was a long-running series of televised live television plays screened by BBC Television from early 1950 until 1959. The productions for the first five years or so of the run were re-staged live the following Thursday, partly because of technical limitations in this era, and the theatrical basis of early television drama. Some of the earliest collaborations between Rudolph Cartier and Nigel Neale were produced for this series, including Arrow to the Heart and Nineteen Eighty-Four. The Sunday night drama slot was subsequently renamed The Sunday-Night Play which ran for four seasons between 1960 and 1963. ITV transmitted its own unrelated run of Sunday Night Theatre between 1971 and 1974.
