Maigret

[Atheist]

8 pm tonight on 'Talking Pictures'. Rupert Davies as Maigret (looks very young to me nowadays) strikes his match on the wall as Ron Grainer's accordion theme tune strikes up, and the unforgettable Ewen Solon as Lucas. Stories written by Simenon (the Master).

Actually - maybe more modern production techniques - but I think Rowan Atkinson has out classed both Davies and Gambon.

To me, Atkinson is too well known and too skinny to be a proper Maigret. My favourite is the French one, whose name I can't remember.

//Maigret has appeared numerous times on the screen, with at least thirty-four actors assuming the role at different times.//

Pick one. Haha!
