David Suchet: Poirot & Me
Aired 4th - 5th November 2006 on ITV3, UK
Updated October 2009
Produced by Daisybeck Productions for ITV3
A documentary on David Suchet’s portrayal of Hercule Poirot, broadcast in a Poirot-marathon on UK television.
ITV3 devoted an entire weekend in November 2006 to David Suchet’s nearly 20 years of outstanding portrayal of the “bloody little Belgian” by running back-to-back episodes of Poirot. They were introduced by Suchet (pre-recorded) and among them were The ABC Murders, Death on the Nile, Sad Cypress, The Mystery of the Blue Train, The Mystery of the Spanish Chest, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, The Chocolate Box, Death in the Clouds, The Underdog, Lord Edgware Dies, The Hollow...
The marathon also featured two documentaries; Super Sleuths - a tribute to Agatha Christie and her beloved detective - and, made exclusively for ITV3, Poirot & Me, in which Suchet with great insight, empathy, humour and
warmth reveals previously untold stories, his all time favourite episode, favourite male star and leading lady and much, much more...
