Maigret

Maigret was a TV adaptation of the some of the many books/strories about the fictional French detective Jules Maigret that were written between 1931 and 1972 by Georges Simenon. This was produced by Granada, and paid for by WGBH-Boston for Mystery, and starred Michael Gambon in the title role. Geoffrey Hutchings and Jack Galloway also appear in this.

Some people feel, or at least those old enough to remember it, that the defiinitive English-speaking TV adaptation was the one produced in the early 1960's by the BBC. It ran for 52 episodes and starred Rupert Davies. I've got a couple of those episodes and will put one of them on Disc 2 as that is all there is room for.
