You can still see David Suchet’s masterly portrayal of Poirot across the ITV network, but the Radio Times has reported this week that the actor is set to play dodgy newspaper and media tycoon Robert Maxwell in a forthcoming BBC2 drama.

The news is quite topical, because the BBC has also found some lost tapes of Maxwell this week, so once again, the deceased businessman is back in the news. David says that he only took the role after speaking with the Maxwell’s widow, and the drama will look at the last few months of his life. Look out for it on BBC2 later in the year.
