Happy Birthday, Sir David Suchet! (b. May 2 1946)

“He’s very respectful and he’s very charming, but my son-in-law gave the best answer, which is that ‘Poirot is enduring because he’s a great moral compass and people would like to be him’. Whenever you watch him, as he sums up a case, you think the world is a better place.” - David Suchet on Poirot’s enduring appeal, The Scotsman interview, June 7 2013

You’re pulling my leg!

Yes Hastings, we pull ever so gently, the leg.

Well, I still think it’s a jolly good night for a murder.

Poirot's daily routine

The original novel [Murder in Mesopotamia] was published in 1936, and was partly written while she was there with her new husband. Given her second marriage to Max Mallowan, it was hardly surprising that Dame Agatha had begun to set some of her stories around archaeological digs in the desert of the Middle East, in what was to become Iraq and Syria. Her novel was dedicated to ‘my many archaeological friends’. – David Suchet, Poirot and Me

Happy Birthday, David Suchet! (b. May 2 1946)

“One of the great traps for me and I think for other people as well, is that we get too worried about the next day, or the next month, or the next year. And, although what I’m about to say is rather cliché, it’s also rather true. You can’t do anything about yesterday, you can only hope for tomorrow, and the only time you’ve actually got, is now. And you know what now is? It’s called the present. But, actually, giving somebody a present is a great gift. What you have today is the greatest gift that you can be given. The time. Today. And it’s necessary for all of us to just to take a break, take a break and just realize that you’re in this moment. ‘What can I do to make this one moment fill up for the best, not only for me but for all those that I touch?’” - David Suchet, ABC Radio Perth Drive interview, January 17 2020

It was all smoke and mirrors. Is that not the expression?

When the moment comes, I will not try to save myself, but humbly offer my soul to God and pray for His mercy. It is for Him to decide. Ah, Hastings, my dear friend. They were good days. Yes, they have been good days.
