Mr Stoddart

In the short story The Dream, Mr Stoddart was a journalist. He was one of two members of the press who were due to interview Benedict Farley about his business affairs, a very rare opportunity which occurred perhaps once in five years. See the article for his colleague Mr Adams for further details.

Like Mr Adams, Mr Stoddart was not featured in the film adaptation of The Dream in Series 1 of ITV's Agatha Christie's Poirot drama series. There he was replaced by Mr Tremlett and two workmen who were waiting to see Farley to discuss their plans to form a union.
