BELGIUM'S most popular detective led to a Bradford Council meeting being re-located tonight.

The Council's Children's Services Scrutiny Committee usually meets in Committee Room 1 in Bradford City Hall.

But tonight's meeting had been moved, as the committee room had been transformed into a set for the upcoming BBC adaptation of The ABC Murders - a popular Agatha Christie story featuring Hercule Poirot.

The room overlooks City Park, and is largely unchanged from when City Hall was first built.

The production, which features John Malkovich as Poirot and Rupert Grint, has been filming in locations in the city this week.

Set in the 1930s, the three part drama will be shown over Christmas.

Among the items being discussed by the committee were workloads of children's social care workers.
