Period drama starring David Suchet as moustachioed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Suchet's characterisation is considered by members of the Christie estate to be the most accurate interpretation of all the actors who have played the detective. Recurring characters appearing alongside Poirot have included Capt Arthur Hastings (Hugh Fraser), Chief Insp James Japp (Philip Jackson), Miss Felicity Lemon (Pauline Moran), Ariadne Oliver (Zoe Wanamaker) and George, Poirot's valet (David Yelland). 'Agatha Christie's Poirot' premiered on ITV in 1989 and ran until 2013. Every story written by Christie about the title character was adapted.
