The Chocolate Box is the sixth episode of series 5 of the ITV British television drama series Agatha Christie's Poirot featuring David Suchet as Hercule Poirot, first broadcast on 7 February 1993 in the UK and was directed by Ken Grieve with dramatisation by Douglas Watkinson. The episode is an adaptation of Agatha Christie's short story of the sam...
While in Belgium, Poirot recounts to Chief Inspector Japp a case from twenty years prior. During his early days in the Belgian police, he looked into the suspicious death of the young politician Paul Deroulard, at the request of the charming Virginie Mesnard.
•Compared with the original, this adaptation is considerably embellished for dramatic purposes although the main premise of the story is retained.
•Rather than simply narrate the events to Hastings, Poirot actually goes to Brussels with Japp in the 1930s. There Poirot meets Saint Alard and so recalls the events of the Chocolate Box which happened around 1898--the time when Dutch was recognized as an official language along with French. Hastings does not occur in the adaptation. Japp does but he did not in the original. There are additional non-canonical supporting characters such as Jean-Louis Ferraud, Chantalier and Boucher.
•The character of John Wilson is replaced by a Deroulard neighbour Gaston Beaujeu who has roughly the same plot role in that he uses trinitrin.
•The death of Marianne is dramatised in flashback.
•The political disagreement between Deroulard and St Alard are faithful to the original but in this case, Deroulard is Belgian and not French and he is already in the governnent. Here the disagreement is about Deroulard wanting to integrate Belgium by making ther Flemish language on par with French.
•The additional character Jean-Louis Ferraud fills the role of an unnamed pharmacist in the original. He tells Poirot about the effects of atropine and trinitrin. He also analyses some bits of chocolate and confirms the presence of trinitrin.
