Sir David Suchet's life off-screen from long marriage to health battle as star, 78, makes TV return


Sir David Suchet is known for playing Agatha Christie's detective Hercule Poirot but the 78-year-old actor has been keeping busy off-screen, away from the limelight

Sally Bretton plunges into a more sinister role with her latest thriller, The Au Pair, and TV icon Sir David Suchet makes a dramatic return to our screens in the new series. Zoe's professional life is thriving too, till her diabetic father George needs to move in for care, turning their world upside down alongside Sandrine, the supposedly ideal au pair. Director Oonagh Kearney creatively captured the scenery of the English countryside, and executive producer Samuel Kissous is proud of the outcome: "We used massive lightbulbs outside the house to fake that natural sunlight," he reveals the behind-the-scenes efforts to achieve a sun-kissed look regardless of the weather's whims.
