He certainly knows his way through an Agatha Christie mystery—British national treasure Sir David Suchet has played the author's famed detective Hercule Poirot onscreen a whopping 70 times across a quarter century. And in a new travelogue series premiering today, the English actor will literally follow in the scribe's footsteps, traveling to locations that Christie herself visited and immersing himself in countries she explored to uncover the literary enigma's inspirations.
Debuting in North America on BritBox on Saturday, March 8, Travels with Agatha Christie & Sir David Suchet is a five-part documentary series that aims to uncover a lesser-known side of the world-famous, best-selling author, who wrote 66 detective novels—including Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile, And Then There Were None and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd—and 14 short story collections. However, before she came known as the Mistress of Mystery, however, Agatha had embarked on a world tour in 1922 at the age of 31, traversing across the British Empire for ten months and hitting South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Canada along the way.
