Rowan Atkinson brilliantly plays the legendary French detective Jules Maigret in 2 feature-length stories based on the novels by Georges Simenon: Maigret Sets A Trap and Maigret's Dead Man.

Maigret Sets A Trap
Montmartre, Paris. A serial killer is stalking the streets. Five women are dead and people are afraid to go out after dark. The newspapers are rife with speculation. And Chief Superintendent Maigret is without a lead and under great pressure…

Maigret’s Dead Man
One February morning, an agitated man calls the Police judiciaire asking for Maigret. He claims he's being followed by someone trying to kill him. Before Maigret can get the details he hangs up, calls back again from various cafés, until the calls finally stop. That night, his body is found, his face badly beaten, stabbed to death. Ridden with guilt for not having saved “his" dead man, Maigret is determined to find the murderer.
