Poirot Photo Gallery

The following images are of the television show Agatha Christie's Poirot, or simply called Poirot in recent years. The show began in 1989 and was completed in 2013. David Suchet played the role of Hercule Poirot in all the stories. Through 2002, Suchet was joined by a (frequent) supporting cast that included Hugh Fraser (as Captain Arthur Hastings), Philip Jackson (as Chief Inspector James Japp), and Pauline Moran (as Poirot's secretary Felicity Lemon).

After that time, the supporting cast ceased appearing in the show. The show's producers desired to be as close to the original Christie stories as possible, which meant not including these characters (since they didn't appear in the novels). The episodes that were prior to 2002 included the supporting cast, yet many of them were absent in the original stories anyway. Since 2005, actress Zoe Wanamaker had been portraying the mystery writer Ariadne Oliver till the end of the series. The same is true for actor David Yelland, who played Poirot's valet George. The beloved supporting cast of Poirot's associates returned in 2013 either in one or two stories.
