Celebrity Agatha Christie fans such as Sir David Suchet (who famously played Hercule Poirot), Marcus Wareing, Greg Rusedski and Christopher Biggins have joined forces to celebrate Christie's 125th anniversary by supporting a campaign to find the 'World's Favourite Agatha Christie novel', making short films to champion their own favourites.

Mathew Prichard, Chairman of Agatha Christie Limited and grandson of Agatha Christie, said 'It's exciting to see, almost 40 years after her death, that my grandmother's books are still so popular'. Other celebrities supporting the campaign include David Baddiel, Sophie Hannah and Val McDermid.
