This season, one of Masterpiece Mystery!’s most
beloved sleuths will tip his hat for the final time.
British actor extraordinaire David Suchet has embodied the Belgian detective
Hercule Poirot for 25 years, drawing millions of fans and achieving an elusive
goal: completing the entire catalogue of Poirot
whodunits penned by Agatha Christie.
“It’s been my life’s ambition to bring this
amazing canon of works to completion,” says
Suchet. “Poirot is a brilliant, yet profoundly
complicated character and I’ve always loved
playing him. He’s considerate, with a love of
elegance and precision, but he is also so
maddeningly frustrating to play as he’s so vain
and pedantic. For all of his faults, he is one of
the greatest listeners in literature.”
WGBH’s Rebecca Eaton, executive producer for Masterpiece Mystery!,
recalls first meeting Suchet on the set back in 1988. “He was completely in
character as Hercule Poirot, and I smelled this lovely fragrance…he would
wear a little silver boutonniere with real violets in it,” she says. “He later
explained that he did this to keep himself in character.” Despite a successful
career on the stage and in television and movies, Suchet embraced taking on
a career-defining, quarter-century-long role—something few actors are
willing to do.
And that makes his final act (starting with two episodes this summer,
and three more on WGBH and PBS this fall) more satisfying than sad, says
Rebecca. “We’ve said farewell to a number of detectives over the years—
John Thaw’s Inspector Morse, Helen Mirren’s Jane Tennison and Roy Marsden’s
Adam Dalgliesh—and it’s always poignant,” she notes. “But with Poirot,
because there aren’t any more stories, it really is a celebration of the enduring
appeal of this fascinating Agatha Christie character and David’s brilliant
portrayal.”
Still, there’s plenty of mystery ahead, including episodes of Endeavour,
Miss Marple and a brand-new film based on P.D. James’s Death Comes to
Pemberley, inspired by Jane Austen’s beloved Pride and Prejudice. “The story
picks up seven years after Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy marry, with the
Bennetts coming to pay a visit,” explains Rebecca, “and therein lies the tale.”
Suspenseful, literate storytelling at the highest level, brilliant acting year
after year. It all happens thanks to your generous annual support of WGBH.

First Smile?
In September 2012, an announcement
shook the art world: a rumored Leonardo
da Vinci painting had been found in a
Swiss bank vault. A portrait of a younger
Mona Lisa, with a similarly enigmatic
smile, it may predate the Louvre masterpiece by as much as 12 years. Now an
elite group of art historians, research physicists, restoration experts and
forensic imaging specialists have gained exclusive access to the
painting, aiming to verify its date and identify evidence that it was
painted by the master himself.

In this hotly anticipated series, comparative anatomist Joy
Reidenberg and veterinarian Mark Evans investigate the life-anddeath struggles of species that must attempt to reproduce in some of
the most hostile environments on earth. From the very first mating
calls through some fabulously flirtatious
foreplay to heart-stopping births in
which the lives of mother and baby
hang in the balance, Sex in the Wild
examines the wonderful and sometimes
weird world of animal reproduction.

In Search of Scarface
Al Capone was the archetypal
American gangster: the pinstripe
suit and fedora, the lavish generosity
and lethal temper, the friends in
high places, the submachine guns
and brutal murders. More than 80
years after Capone ruled organized
crime in the Midwest, Chicago’s former Public Enemy Number One is still a source of fascination. This
shrewd documentary reveals how the son of a Brooklyn barber
became the world’s best-known gangster and explores his lasting
impact on US culture.

exercising his “little grey cells”
in the very last of Agatha
Christie’s works about Poirot to
be adapted for television.
The Big Four and Dead Man’s
Folly premiere now; stay tuned
for the three remaining stories,
debuting in late fall.

An American Visionary
Grace Lee Boggs, 98, is a
Chinese American philosopher,
writer and activist in Detroit with
a thick FBI file. A veteran of 75
years in the labor, civil rights
and Black Power movements, as
well as feminism and the quest
for environmental justice, she

Grassroots Conservatives
Katy and John are Tea Party activists who believe America’s salvation lies in a
return to conservative values. Katy, a young stay-at-home mother, rockets to
media stardom after a sensational confrontation with her senator at a town
hall meeting. John, a retired businessman, fears losing the America he
knew—and faces a conflict
between principle and reality
when he cannot afford his
aging mother’s health care.
Absorbing and even-handed,
Town Hall immerses viewers in
Katy and John’s world and their
anxieties about a changing
nation.

Federal vs. State
vs. Local
Once a pioneer in legalizing
medical marijuana, Montana
may become the first state to
repeal its medical marijuana
law. Code of the West follows the
political process of marijuana
policy reform as well as the recent federal crackdown on medicinal growers
nationwide. Featuring critiques from patients, growers, politicians, activists
and community members on both sides of the issue, it vividly depicts what
happens when federal and state governments clash with communities under
fire, and how individuals ultimately pay the price.

Activism, Post-Apartheid
When Nelson Mandela was
elected president of South
Africa, he made an ambitious
promise to ensure housing for
all. Within two decades,
however, the South African
government sought to
“eradicate the slums” by evicting shack dwellers at gunpoint.
A new social movement has emerged to stop the bulldozers, with dynamic
young leaders who are challenging evictions on the streets and in the courts.
By turns inspiring, devastating and unexpectedly funny, Dear Mandela offers
an eye-opening perspective on the role young people can play in political
change.

Into the Halls of Power
Brothers, trailblazers and Cleveland icons, Louis and Carl Stokes changed
the course of American politics. Carl was the first black mayor of a major
American city; Louis was the first black US congressman from Ohio. Born into
poverty, both served in World War II, entered electoral politics during the
turbulent civil rights era and used their influence to remove barriers to
opportunity. This documentary
offers intimate recollections
from their friends and
colleagues, including President
Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson
and former Cleveland mayor
Mike White.

Take a Sideways Glance
with PRI’s The World
Have you ever been on a “smell walk”?
Listeners to PRI’s The World (a PRI/WGBH/BBC co-production heard weekdays, 3pm and 8pm) have. They recently
followed graphic designer Kate McLean around Boston,
gathering olfactory data—aromas of garlic, pavement and
rubber tires in the North End—that will help McLean do for
Boston what she has done for other cities.
“I’m interested in people’s perception of a place by smell and aggregating that to form smell maps,” McLean told reporter Sarah Reynolds. “They’re
an attempt to make something visual that is ephemeral.”
The World highlighted McLean’s pursuit in its new Sideways Glance series,
a segment the show incudes every Tuesday to tell quirky, intimate stories
about everything from smell maps to the history of invisible ink.
“We tackle the big, thorny geopolitical issues,” says Andrew Sussman,
executive producer of The World. “But we often stumble on the kind of curiosity stories that make us want to learn more. And that’s where Sideways
Glance comes in.”
Created by The World’s Clark Boyd, the series has explored such topics as
how a graphic novel captured the larger-than-life story of wrestler Andre the
Giant, how a trip to England helped transform chicken farmer Robert Frost
into a superstar poet and how monks in Spencer, MA, began brewing beer.
“One of our producers finds a global story that hits us where we live—
that makes us do a double or even triple take—and then we dig in to learn
more,” Sussman says. “The result? You often can find out more about a person, place or thing by taking a sideways glance than by tackling it head on.”

Happy Fourth—and a Return to Tanglewood
By Anthony Rudel
99.5 WCRB Station Manager
To say this month starts off with a bang would be an understatement,
and here’s why.
The July Fourth holiday weekend is the second of WCRB’s three
WCRBeach weekends, which span the summer months and connect our
listeners with all there is to do in the area. Musically, the weekend of the
Fourth will be filled with the great music you expect to enjoy; there will
be a broad mixture of sounds and musical textures selected to accompany
whatever activities you have planned for your holiday. This second WCRBeach
weekend will run all the way from Friday morning until late Sunday.
But, as they say in those late-night television commercials: wait, there’s
more. Continuing a long-time tradition, WCRB will broadcast live from the
Esplanade on Friday, July 4, bringing you the Boston Pops Orchestra with
musical director Keith Lockhart as we celebrate the nation’s birthday. The
program will be filled with your favorite musical pieces and, of course, a
healthy dose of fireworks. Join
WCRB’s Ron Della Chiesa and
Laura Carlo, who will bring you
every wonderful moment of
the concert and all the accompanying excitement.
Summer really gets going
the next day, when WCRB
begins broadcasting a season of
concerts from the Boston
Symphony Orchestra’s summer
home at Tanglewood in the
Berkshires. Every weekend
WCRB will help you escape to
the beauty of that area with a
tantalizing array of performers
and music. The broadcasts,

WCAI’s Aquarius Mission
By Mindy Todd, WCAI host and managing director for editorial
WCAI science editor Heather Goldstone recently traveled to a laboratory
unlike any other. Located nine miles off the coast of Key Largo, FL, and 63
feet below the ocean surface, Aquarius is the world’s only underwater
research lab.
There, Goldstone joined a team of researchers from Northeastern
University’s Marine Science Center participating in the Mission 31 expedition.
Led by Fabien Cousteau, grandson of famed ocean explorer Jacques-Yves
Cousteau—creator of the first ocean-floor habitats for humans—the
month-long Mission 31 honored the 50th anniversary of the elder Cousteau’s
Conshelf II mission. (The mission was featured in the Academy Award–
winning 1964 documentary World Without Sun.)
Submerged in 1993, Aquarius has since assimilated into the nearby
coral reef. “Researchers can essentially treat the reef like we do our
backyards,” says Goldstone, host of Living Lab on The Point (Mondays, 9am
and 7pm). “Since they’re living at the same pressure as the ocean around
them, there’s no need to limit dive time.” Complete with six beds, a shower,
toilet, air conditioning and even Wi-Fi, the lab can accommodate scientists
for missions up to 10 days long.

The team from Northeastern, including two aquanauts who lived and
worked in the lab, investigated how corals respond to stress, examined the
ecology of barrel sponges that can live to be 2,000 years old and tried to
determine whether oil from the BP spill made it to the Florida Keys.
“It was incredibly exciting for me,” Goldstone says of her trip to Aquarius
in June. “I first heard about underwater habitats like Aquarius when I was a
little kid. And I’ve always wanted to visit one.”
