Synopsis of Agatha Christie's Poirot

Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, played by David Suchet, investigates crimes in England in the mid-to-late 1930s. He is joined by two trusted associates: Captain Hastings, his closest friend, and his efficient secretary, Felicity Lemon. Together they face carefully planned deceptions, in which someone tries to hide a murder behind an apparently perfect alibi. Poirot must uncover the truth before the culprit escapes justice. Each case is based on a story by Agatha Christie, so the detective's challenge changes with every episode: unraveling elegant lies among characters who keep secrets. The series airs on the British network ITV.

Trivia about Agatha Christie's Poirot

Florin Court, on Charterhouse Square, served as the London residence of Poirot, who is called Whitehaven Mansions in the series.
The last episode filmed was "Dead Man's Folly," in June 2013, at Greenway, the former home of Agatha Christie.
The family of Agatha Christie recommended Suchet for the role after seeing him play Blott in a television adaptation.
During the first year of filming, Suchet nearly quit after arguing with a director over the handkerchief Poirot leaves on a park bench.
Four Oscar nominees have appeared in the series: Sarah Miles, Barbara Hershey, Elizabeth McGovern, and Elliott Gould.
David Suchet won a BAFTA for Best Actor in a Television Role for his performance as Hercule Poirot.
The early seasons featured actors who later became much more famous, such as Christopher Eccleston, who appeared in "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe" in 1992.
The final episode, "Curtain, Poirot's Last Case," earned the series its first Emmy Award nomination in 2015, after a run of 25 years that adapted all 70 Poirot stories.
