Agatha Christie Wiki

Brian Eastman (born 3 September 1949) is a television producer. He worked as the producer for 49 episodes of the television series Agatha Christie's Poirot. He appeared in the 2013 television documentary Being Poirot.

Eastman was primarily responsible for the 1930s look and feel of the early seasons of the series. According to Eastmen, they were keen on being accurate, including such finer details like passengers being weighed before being assigned a seat on a plane. The filming locations, often referred to as "Art Deco" was not exactly that. According to Eastman, Agatha Christie had explained in a profile of Poirot that Art Deco would have been too flamboyant for him ("moderne" is the architectural term used to describe many of the buildings used for the series filming locatons).[1]
