Hercule (Ding Dingue Dong)

In Ding Dingue Dong, the France Télévisions and Escazal Films adaptation of the novel Evil Under the Sun, Hercule is the name of a dog who was in the fortunately position of being able to provide Commissaire Laurence with an alibi for the time Clarisse Rodier was murdered. On the morning in question, Hercule was taking a walk when he peeed against the tire of Laurence's car. Laurence then had an argument with Hercule's owner about this. The time was fixed at 10.30 in the morning, as Hercule's owner asserted that Hercule always peeed at the same time every morning. Given this, Laurence could not have reached the murder scene in time. The alibi provided by Hercule did not, however, prevent Laurence from being arrested as it took Tricard some time to find his owner.

Hercule's owner is not named but is played by series regular Serge Dubois.
