Hope that saves me some searching the next time.

Whose could be considered the best portrayal of Hercule Poirot in the media?

David Suchet is very impressive in the BBC television series but Albert Finney in Murder on the Orient Express is superior by far and was, to me, the epitome of Poirot-ness – until I chanced upon to a collection of BBC radio dramas starring John Moffatt. With his Suchet-esque yet mischievous voice and his array of ominous tut-tutting, hums and grunts, Moffatt as Poirot is everything that ever leapt to your imagination when you first read the books!

Move over Finney and Suchet, Moffatt rules all.
