David Suchet on Poirot, and Patrick Doyle on turning 60

Charlotte Green meets Hercule Poirot himself - the actor David Suchet - and the great Scottish movie composer, Patrick Doyle.

David Suchet is not just the brother of Classic FM's weekday morning presenter John Suchet – as grand a claim as that may be – but he's also known to millions as one of the most iconic detectives in television history, Hercule Poirot. David joins Charlotte to talk about life as Agatha Christie's famous crime-solving creation and what it was like to film Poirot's final episode.  

Also one of the finest of contemporary film composers - Scotsman Patrick Doyle - who's being given a special 60th birthday celebration by the LSO, talks about his career in the movies. Listen to the podcast here:
