Agatha Christie's Poirot is a popular British television series that stars David Suchet as Agatha Christie's fictional detective Hercule Poirot. It first aired in 1989 and so far 57 episodes have been aired. It airs on ITV and was originally made by LWT and is now made by Granada Productions. In the United States, it airs as Poirot.
Suchet has indicated his desire to film all the remaining stories in the canon. By most critics, Suchet's characterisation is considered to be the best of all the actors who have played Poirot, and very accurate to the character in the books. Suchet said that he prepared for the part by reading all the Poirot novels and every short story, and copying out every piece of description about the character.
Many writers have adapted Agatha Christie's book for television, with Clive Exton and Anthony Horowitz the most prolific.
