Billy Arkwright

Billy Arkwright is a non-canonical character created for the film adaptation of Double Sin in Series 2 of ITV's Agatha Christie's Poirot. He is a boatman on Lake Windermere. He tells Captain Hastings that he remembers picking up an elderly lady from the train station at 12 minutes past 1. He ferried her across the lake to the Lake Hotel. However Arkwright said this train had come from Lancaster and did not stop at Redburn. Hastings was working on a lead that someone dressed as an old lady had stolen a valuable set of antique miniatures at Redburn and had taken it to the Lake Hotel where the old lady fraudulently sold the items to J. Baker Wood.

Billy Arkwright is played by Harry Goodier. This character does not occur in the the original story.
