What's On Tonight (Saturday): As he's stumblin', tumblin', wanderin', Travels thru

Travels with Agatha Christie and Sir David Suchet

It's okay when it's in a 3-way! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, March 8!

Our Top Pick tonight is Travels with Agatha Christie and Sir David Suchet (BritBox, 3 a.m.). This latest travelogue show finds longtime Hercule Poirot actor David Suchet retracing the steps of Poirot creator Agatha Christie as she traveled the world in her 1922 tour for the British Empire. Suchet is looking new clues about her literary inspirations. I assume this show is a must if you, like me, enjoyed Agatha Christie: Lucy Worsley on the Mystery Queen on PBS a few months ago.

Elsewhere, Lady Gaga is Live from New York(!), human want to save Asian wildlife, Raquel Welch gets documentary treatment, Octomom gets Lifetime movie treatment, and One Piece is full of clashes.
