What did you think of Maigret's Dead Man?
Rowan Atkinson returned for his second outing as French detective Jules Maigret – but was the Parisian thriller perfect Christmas Day viewing?
Christmas Day saw Rowan Atkinson return to ITV as French detective Jules Maigret, in a new two-hour adaptation Maigret's Dead Man.
Atkinson led a stellar cast in the ITV Christmas special, the second time he has taken on the challenge of playing Georges Simenon's thoughtful detective.
ITV clearly think this series is fit for a special occasion, with the first instalment Maigret Sets A Trap having aired on Easter Monday. But the question is, do you think this deadly Parisian crime drama make your Christmas?
