A possible Maigret

I really feel that Roger Allum would make an awesome Maigret. Especially if transferring the character adopted in Endeavour. YMMV, discuss.  :smug:

I think you're right.  Though I have fond memories of the "original" Rupert Davies.  I also like Rowan Atkinson's portrayals, and they were superbly filmed.

I did also like Gambon playing the role.

I'm no aficionado but I did enjoy the ones with Michael Gambon.   I have a French DVD with Bruno Cremer in the main part, though I've only watched one story.  A little dour as I recall.

Bruno Cremer is to Maigret what David Suchet is to Poirot.

I misread it as Margret to start with.  :P

Definitely - I'd forgotten that.  He's actually the one I've most recently caught up with, and he's on 10 in about half an hour!

Gambon for me.
The Rupert Davies series is about to be shown on Talking Pictures TV (Freesat & Freeview)
