Agatha Christie’s
POIROT
Starring David Suchet as Belgian Detective Hercule
Poirot, Hugh Fraser, Philip Jackson plus a host of
British acting legends.
“Why not make my detective a Belgian?... I could
see him a diddy little man, always arranging things,
liking things in pairs, liking things square instead of
round. And he should be brainy - he should have
little grey cells of the mind.” Agatha Christie - An
Autobiography. And so one of the greatest detectives
in literature was born!
Hercule Poirot made his first appearance in The
Mysterious Affair at Styles, called upon his friend
Hastings to solve a mysterious murder. This Belgian
refugee from the First World War began his career
as a police officer - Christie felt it only fitting that he
had a professional background as it would explain
his knowledge of police proceedings when he later
became a private detective. The rest is history.
