The Clocks

The famous Belgian detective returns in the TV adaptation of Agatha Christie's classic The Clocks.

Poirot is intrigued by an unusual case after a typist uncovers a grisly murder. Having clearly heard a cuckoo clock strike three as she found the body, Poirot is convinced there must be a connection, particularly when he finds that of the four clocks in the living room, only three belonged to the victim...

The Clocks will be shown this Christmas with David Suchet reprising his role as the titular detective.

David says: "Poirot is a brilliant, yet profoundly complicated character and I've always loved playing him. He's considerate, with a love of elegance and precision, but he is also so maddeningly frustrating to play as he's so vain and pedantic!

"What endears me to him the most is his endless love of people, and for all his faults he is one of the greatest listeners in literature. I've been so fortunate to play him."

David will be joined by an exciting cast including Phil Daniels as Inspector Hardcastle,  Jaime Winstone, Tom Burke, Lesley Sharp, Geoffrey Palmer, Beatie Edney and the late Anna Massey.
