I used to love to read Agatha Christie novels. I also love the TV show Poirot, based on her detective character.
That show lasted a long time.  It aired on ITV from 1983 to 2013
I didn't realize it ran that long - must have missed some episodes. He's such a funny little man - what a great imagination AC had!
David Suchet did a great job playing Hercule Poirot
He really did. He's actually English rather than Belgian, is he not?
He is, but he was very successful in his role.  He was even nominated for a BAFTA in 1991!

Poirot was first published way back in March 1924
So it was set in the early 20th century then. I love seeing all the old buildings and, of course, trying to figure out who the murderer is!
a novel or short story by Christie that featured Poirot, and consequently in each episode Poirot is both the main detective in charge of the investigation of a crime (usually murder) and the protagonist who is at the centre of most of the episode's action. At the programme's conclusion, which finished with "", based on the final Poirot novel, every major literary work by Christie that featured the title character had been adapted.
Production.
Clive Exton in partnership with producer Brian Eastman adapted the pilot.
