um euch zu Informieren:
Ich habe heute bei Chorion nachgefragt bezüglich der TV-Rechte.
Ich halte euch auf dem laufenden ob ich eine Antwort kriege

i would like to enquire about the Television licensing of the Poirot Series #1-8 and #10, 11 and the Marple Series #1-4. Poirot Series 10 is licensed to NDR/ARD
with the exception of Episode "Sad Cypress" which wasnt opted and dubbed (so i assume NDR/ARD did not buy the rights).
I guess some Episodes of the Marple Series are also licensed to NDR/ARD (Germany).
Poirot Series #5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (Episode Sad Cypress), 10 and 11 were not aired in Germany yet and are not dubbed.
Also some Marple Episodes haven´t aired yet and are not dubbed.
The DVD License for Germany is with Polyband for all dubbed Poirot Episodes including Sad Cypress which is subtitled on DVD.
I would like to raise interest in licensing and dubbing the Missing Seasons/Episodes with German TV Stations Das Vierte and/or RTL Crime,
but i need to know if the TV Licensing Rights are given away at the moment.
I am asking for the German Agatha Christie Fanbase which is discussing these topics.
I presume that the German TV Stations are not interested in Licensing because of various things which are unknown to us, maybe
we can raise the interest in writing to TV Stations to air this Episodes (which also means that Granada International would be able to
make a deal / Chorion Ltd could also be benefit out of it)
With such immense success around the Globe we German Fans are a bit sadened that the whole Poirot Series and Marple Series
is not available to us. Germany is a key market for International TV Licensing and we would like to see those Episodes Dubbed, Aired on German
Television and to be released from Polydor on DVD. (We assume Polydor wont do that unless they are dubbed.)
Best Regards
