The plot of the series
Hercule Poirot, a native of Belgium, has been living in London for many years. The absence of a family and a nasty, non-living character do not in the least interfere with his hobby - the investigation of mysterious crimes. A keen mind, a penchant for observation and paradoxical conclusions made Poirot one of the best detectives of Royal Britain. Captain Arthur Hastings, an assistant, and Miss Felicity Lemon, his secretary, assist him in investigations. Often, Poirot has to help the unlucky detective, senior police inspector James Depp. Investigating particularly complicated cases (mainly murders), Poirot triumphs: his every victory is yet another proof of the superiority of the “gray cells” of the Belgian over the motionless brain of these prim British!
The directors were Andrew Greave, Edward Bennett, Rennie Rye and others.
