The Poirot Mysteries was one of my favorite series. I'll still watch a repeat of one when I find it. Hugh Fraser as Capt. Hastings was a delight to watch.

I don't know if it comes with getting older, and seeing friends come and go, but watching the lifelong friendship of Poirot and Hastings (and Suchet and Fraser), and how deep and true it is, brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful, and so needed for all of us

Hugh Fraser also plays an English secret service spy handler captain in one of the later episodes of the series Ace of Spies of 1991. This minor part is exactly like the Captain Hastings he portrayed in the Poirot series. But although he only appears in one episode and a few minutes, his English gentlemaness and captainess splashes off the screen. So this may have been his ticket to Poirot.

He acts out all the characters with such perfect voices that you forget it is one person reading the story. Fantastic. If you have not heard them please do, you''ll be impressed with his voice talent. Thank you for making this video I learned much I did not know about the amazing and wonderful, not to mention handsome, Hugh Fraser.

We get a wonderful and surprising amount of comic and dramatic shadings in his performance. Fraser can use his eyes and subtle quiet to great effect. He is the very model of the decent English gentleman. Bravo Hugh Fraser !

If you needed a driver for a car chase, or just a high speed drive, Hastings was your man. If you needed someone to throw a punch or take a shot, Hastings was your man. He was always athletic and physically competent, whereas Poirot was cerebral and sedentary. They completed one another admirably!
