Poirot is a British television drama series that follows the adventures of Belgian detective Hercule Poirot as he solves a variety of crimes in 1930s England. The show is based on the novels and short stories of crime fiction writer Agatha Christie.

Season 1, Episode 4 of Poirot is titled "Four and Twenty Blackbirds." The episode begins with Poirot being invited to lunch by an old colleague, Sir Bartholomew Strange, at his estate. However, when Poirot arrives, he finds that he has been invited under false pretenses.

Sir Bartholomew intends to use Poirot's expertise to solve a mystery involving his youngest son, George. George has been acting strangely ever since he returned from a hunting trip in Africa with his friend, Paul Renauld. Sir Bartholomew received a mysterious letter from Paul Renauld, which made him worry about George's safety.

Poirot begins his investigation by interviewing the various members of the Strange family and their employees. He soon discovers that Paul Renauld is dead, and George is the prime suspect in his murder. However, Poirot believes that there is more to the case than meets the eye.

As Poirot delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal. He discovers that there are several people who had motives for killing Paul Renauld, including his own wife and George's sister-in-law. Poirot must use all of his detective skills to unravel the truth and bring the killer to justice.

Throughout the episode, Poirot also struggles with his own personal feelings about the case. He is torn between his duty as a detective and his sympathy for George, who he believes may have committed the murder in a fit of passion.

"Four and Twenty Blackbirds" is a classic Agatha Christie mystery, with plenty of twists and turns to keep viewers guessing until the very end. As always, the show features strong performances from the entire cast, especially David Suchet as the charming and meticulous Hercule Poirot.
