I always thought Finney was perfect in the role. But Suchet is quite good.

As an avid Agatha Christie fan of both video and audio books (rapid eye movements cause reading difficulty), Hugh Fraser is like a close, personal friend that I invite over to my house on a regular basis.

Thank you very much for featuring the life story of Margaret rutherford she 2as the best miss Marple ever thank you to the narrator for posting this video rip 🙏 🪦 😌

What a good actor, and he is the best Sidekick Fraser ever.

For me she was the definitive Miss Marple and I loved those hats she wore.

Marina, I do love Mrs Ariadne Oliver ❤❤❤ Do you have any programmes about Her❤️❤️❤️Zoe W. Is my beloved actress ❤❤❤Her Mrs Oliver was just delight ❤❤❤❤

Marina❤ You are so brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤

Peter Ustinov was best. Suchet is entertaining and engaging but smacks too much of LGBHT for the role ; case of overacting.

I would love you to do a piece on Pauline Moran. Her role as The woman in Black, in the terrifying movie of the same name, was incredible.

Many,many thanks from Brasil!!!!!

She was magnificent in Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit. Scary good.

Suchet read every book and made notes on more than 90 characteristics of the character so he could play the role to perfection

After seeing all of the Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple movies when growing up I can't see anyone else playing Miss Marple.

My late Mom loved his “Good Lord!”

I love David Suchet and I’m glad he’s a Christian but I wish he did a recording of the King James Bible because that’s the most accurate Bible Version.

Thank you for making this interesting video.

Geraldine was my favorite! Not clownish, but nuanced, revealing a depth of character that makes her feel real.

Ustinov and Suchet together. Mind blown.

Fun fact Peter ustinov mentioned it to david suchet at a party .

I didn’t know that until I find out about the real Anastasia story as an adult.

Though I love them all, she is my favorite Miss Marple. I think she's the Miss Marple that would like me the best, too. I'm not a AC purist, so I don't mind her creativity with the character.

EVERYONE PLAYS HERCULE POIROT VERY WELL... BUT, DAVID SUCHET IS HERCULE POIROT. HE DOESN'T NEED TO ACT.😂😂😂

Hugh Fraser is a wonderful reader, and is the best at narrating Agatha Christie. His audiobooks helped me get through a broken ankle with surgery, a plate, and screws, with my sanity intact (well, mostly). Thanks Hugh! 😘

I remembered there was a movie where Poirot and Marple crossed paths. A little research and I got it, 1965's ABC Murders Tony Randall and Margaret Rutherford

Ah ....Captain Hastings. The good pld days...... when Englishmen were Englishmen and the rest of the world did as it was jolly well told! And an Englishman would certainly never use 'season' to describe 'series' ;-)!

I could never understand why Poirot had Hastings as a sidekick. Bumbling yes. An asset? No. Poirot required a sidekick who was more competent. More intelligent. Who possessed knowledge that Poirot didn’t have. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

deeeeecades😂

If the king had been smarter he would have sent his family to Sweden or England

Joan Hickson indiscutiblemente. Incluso su aspecto físico parece la reencarnación de Miss Marple. También me gustaba mucho Margareth Rutherford, muy divertida pero lejos del personaje de Agatha Christie.

Glad we are recognising hugh fraser

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love Ustinov, but I wasn't crazy with his interpretation of Poirot. Finney was fantastic, in my opinion.

nice video. really love the color pallet you choose for this video. Can't believe you did not include some of his famous lines, in particular : 'i'd say" He was to me what a man of leisure would be like. Hastings must of had money because he was always buying nice cars. didn't seem to lack for money.

Before watching this video I just saw Zoe Wanamaker as Ariadne Oliver in the episode Elephants Can Remember (1981). I first saw Zoe Wanamaker on Broadway in Piaf (1981) as the character Toine. Jane Lapotaire was Piaf, and she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play. I have been a fan of Zoe Wanamaker since then.

Thank you for this review of Capt. Hastings. Hugh Fraser made him so likable, a person you would like to know.

I am a Christian and a fan of Suchet's Poirot.

Perfect match

he is poirot himself no doubt

Well done ❤-- FYI his wife Belinda Lang was a *wonderful* Agatha Troy, the artist muse/foil for Patrick Malahide's Inspector Alleyn from the mysteries written by Ngaio Marsh.

In real life, Hastings is married to Agatha Troy from Inspector Alleyn Mysteries.

Hugh Fraser and David Suchet are the very best Poirot and Hastings!

Those two were always meant to work well together. I love watching the older Poirot episodes and the chemistry they had with each other. It’s a lovely friendship they had both on and off camera ❤❤❤

Joan was my favorite until Geraldine play the role even better. Rutherford and Lansbury pale especially Rutherford she was just bad.

I don't know if it comes with getting older, and seeing friends come and go, but watching the lifelong friendship of Poirot and Hastings (and Suchet and Fraser), and how deep and true it is, brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful, and so needed for all of us

I liked it when captain Hastings was promoted to General Lord Wellington

Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I especially enjoyed seeing the clips and photos from his other roles!! Thanks to Poirot Hugh Fraser has become one of my favorite actors but living in the US I was not familiar with many of his earlier roles. Talent, looks, and that amazing voice! I just love him!!!

It's amazing how much people are willing to overlook if the character's looks match their imagination - Suchet's Poirot is not Poirot, Miss Lemon is not Miss Lemon, Hastings is too smart, but he's still the closest of the three. And those who adapted the books for the series did a terrible job - ignoring important clues and adding idiotic comic relief moments and non-existent Poirot's character traits. I wonder how many of the so-called "fans" actually read all the books.

You have the Dirk Bogarde caption over Richard Attenborough, but then a Bogarde image appears after it. Cheers!

Marple, the gadabout sleuth..... Poirot, the territorial grouper. Love them both. Dang, now I have to cue up Goodwin's theme, though Sherrer sure gave him a run for the money later.
