DOVER will feature in the new production of household British television detective series Hercule Poirot , the Dover Express can exclusively reveal.
Actor David Suchet, 63, who plays the Belgium super sleuth, films scenes here on what is the 21st anniversary of the hit ITV1 programme.
Details of the latest film, called The Clocks, are being closely guarded by the broadcaster, which is yet to make an official announcement. The show is expected to be aired on television next year.
Filming got underway on Monday and will last for three weeks across several UK locations.
The ITV production crew has earmarked two to three days filming in Dover, which will include scenes in picturesque St Margaret's Bay. However they are keen not to advertise the precise spots to avoid a mass public spectacle.

An ITV spokesman said: "This is a period piece so you can imagine that it might look quite odd if we were to shoot and the public started appearing in the background."
She said the Dover setting will play a role in the plot, which is set between the First World War and Second World War.
Scenes will depict Dover Castle's secret wartime tunnels, which played a key role in the 1939-1945 conflict. These are likely to be filmed in-house at ITV studios.
Elaborating on the story, the spokesman added: "It's a double mystery. It's about someone looking for a German spy. It all kicks off from there. There are seemingly unconnected events which are all connected."
As part of the pre-production ITV approached St Margaret's Parish Council over whether its trucks would fit in the narrow roads leading to the Bay and where to park.
Parish council clerk Jane Cook said: "They rang us out of courtesy to let us know they would be filming in St Margaret's Bay. We told them there would be no chance of getting their trucks down to the Bay. Our vice chairman David Hart said he would speak to the South Foreland Valley Roads Association to see of they could park in St Margaret's Road."
Cllr Hart said the use of a Dover location is a real boon for the entire district.
He said: "It's nice to see St Margaret's Bay feature as a location. We look forward to watching it. We will all wait with baited breath to see how they portray the Bay."
