Bonjour! We're in Paris and our detective, Maigret, is investigating a series of stabbings. Unfortunately for him the press, his boss, and sometimes his wife, all think he's doing a RUBBISH job. But fear not, with the help of his pipe and fedora, he will solve this case. But not before there are a couple more killings. He gets his man and, would you believe it, the problem was WOMEN all along.

Having said all that, we really liked this one! We also enjoyed envisioning Rowan Atkinson playing various other roles from programmes we've covered. Could he have replaced Jimmy Nesbitt in Murphy's Law perhaps? Or donned a wetsuit in Annika? So many possibilities.

This podcast contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, and, of course, is full of SPOILERS.

At the time of recording "Maigret" was available on ITVX in the UK and on Prime, Apple, or Britbox elsewhere in the world.

Our next episode is on CHRISTMAS TELLY! Get circling all the crime christmas specials in your Radio Times! We will cover as much as we can watch, or persuade our families to watch.

Joyeux Noël!
