The Enduring Appeal of Hercule Poirot
Agatha Christie is known as Queen of Crime. She sold over two billion copies of her books worldwide and created one of the most famous and popular crime fighters in the world - the dapper Belgian detective with the waxed moustache: Hercule Poirot. Originally created 94 years ago in The Mysterious Affair at Styles, for the first time since Christie's death he's now back on the page, with a new writer and a new mystery to solve. Sri Lankan Priyath Liyanage from the Sinhala Service, and Pakistani Umber Khairi from 大象传媒 Urdu discuss the global appeal of this detective who uses his "little grey cells."
