Jules Touchard

In the L'Homme au complet marron episode of TV series Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie, Jules Touchard was the concierge of the Lille Opera (Opera Moderne de Lille). He lived in an apartment on the ground floor of the opera building with his wife Martine. Late at night, he came across the secretary Nadine Mercuret (whom he knows as Francoise) leaving the building and is surprised that she was armed with a gun. Subsequently he heard gunshots outside. Believing that he had witnessed something which would bring him money, he called Alice Avril to arrange a meeting. However while walking to meet Alice just outside the office of "La Voix du Nord", Jules is hit by a car and died. A witness told Alice that the car appeared to speed up as Jules came into view, suggesting that he was run down deliberately. He described the car as an Opel Kapitan. Alice later discovered that the opera choreographer Patrick Mallet drove such a car and suspected him of the killing.

Jules Touchard is portrayed by Rodrigue Bauchet. There is no exact parallel of him in the original novel.
