Mr Cleat

In the novel The Moving Finger, Mr Clear is a jobbing gardener who worked at Lymstock. His wife, Mrs Cleat is considered by some villagers as the "local witch".

Portrayals
In the BBC 1985 adaptation of the novel, Cleat is played by Gordon Rollins. He has a slightly larger role than in the novel. He is actually employed at "Little Furze". He and his wife are seen among the spectators at various incidents in the village making comments about what has happened.

Cleat is not featured in the ITV 2006 adaptation of the novel (Episode 2, Series of Agatha Christie's Marple).
