Here's a chance to see David Suchet's very first outing as Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot in this adaptation based on acclaimed novelist Agatha Christie’s short story, The Adventure of the Clapham Cook.

The infamous Belgian detective is persuaded to investigate a missing person case when a cook disappears and he finds the contents of her trunk may hold vital clues. Hugh Fraser and Philip Jackson, who went on to become series regulars, also co-star, as well as Brigit Forsyth.

Earlier, at 6.40pm, Poirot's holiday in Brighton turns into an investigation of some missing jewels.
