Harry Russell

In the novel At Bertram's Hotel, Harry Russell is a village parallel which Miss Marple assigned to Ladislaus Malinowski. Harry was never up to any good and never "did any woman who had anything to do with him any good either."

In the BBC 1987 adaptation of the novel, the name of the parallel is changed to "Basil Twisk" who sold insurance at Much Benham. He also drove a racing car and was a philanderer.
