==Character==
===Creation=== thumb|{{ill|Marcel Guillaume|fr}}, a celebrated French police commissioner, pictured giving evidence in 1932. He has been seen as a possible inspiration for Maigret. In the spring of 1929, Simenon set off for a tour of northern France, Belgium and Holland in his boat, the ''Ostrogoth''. He had begun contributing detective stories to a new magazine called ''Détective'' and also published popular novels, mainly with the publisher Fayard.<ref name=":Marnham-1994">{{cite book |last1=Marnham |first1=Patrick |title=The Man who wasn't Maigret, A Portrait of Georges Simenon |publisher=Harvest/Harcourt Brace & Company |year=1994 |isbn=0156000598 |location=New York}}</ref>{{Reference page|pages=128-129}}
During his northern tour, Simenon wrote three popular novels which featured a police inspector named Maigret: ''Train de nuit'' (Night Train), ''La femme rousse'' (The Red-Headed Woman) and ''La maison de l'inquiétude'' (The House of Anxiety). He began working on ''Train de nuit,'' or possibly ''Pietr-le-Letton (Pietr the Latvian),'' in September 1929 when the ''Ostrogoth'' was undergoing repairs in the Dutch city of Delfzijl.<ref name=":Marnham-1994" />{{Reference page|pages=130-132}}<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Carly |first=Michel |title=Tout Maigret |publisher=Omnibus |year=2007 |isbn=9782258073401 |volume=1 |location=Paris |pages=XIII-XVI |language=fr |chapter=Maigret, notre contemporain}}</ref>
On his return to Paris in April 1930, Simenon completed ''Pietr-le-Letton,'' the first novel in which inspector Maigret of the Paris mobile crime brigade was a fully developed character. The novel was serialised in Fayard's magazine ''Ric et Rac'' later that year. Simenon considered this the first "true" Maigret novel, and it was the first fictional work to appear under Simenon's real name.<ref name=":Marnham-1994" />{{Reference page|pages=132-133}}<ref name=":1" />
Simenon stated that he invented Maigret while drinking in a cafe<ref name="sansom" /> and imagining a Parisian policeman: "a large powerfully built gentleman...a pipe, a bowler hat, a thick overcoat."<ref name="lawson">{{cite web|last=Lawson|first=Mark|title=Inspecting Maigret: Rowan Atkinson puts on his thinking hat|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/mar/25/inspector-maigret-itv-rowan-atkinson-mark-lawson|work=The Guardian|date=25 March 2016|access-date=4 January 2020|archive-date=6 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200206001145/https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/mar/25/inspector-maigret-itv-rowan-atkinson-mark-lawson|url-status=live}}</ref> Maigret was reputed to be based on Marcel Guillaume, an actual French detective,<ref name="haining">{{cite web|last=Haining|first=Peter|author-link=Peter Haining (author)|title=The Great Detectives: Maigret|date=5 March 2015 |url=https://strandmag.com/the-magazine/articles/the-great-detectives-maigret/|publisher=The Strand Magazine|access-date=4 January 2020|archive-date=13 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200113115637/https://strandmag.com/the-magazine/articles/the-great-detectives-maigret/|url-status=live}}</ref> although Simenon variously claimed not to remember the inspiration or that Maigret was influenced by his father.<ref name="haining" />
Biographers Thomas Narcejac and Fenton Bresler both see Simenon himself in his creation.<ref name="haining"/> ===Description and biography=== Maigret is tall and heavy, with broad shoulders, large hands, a thick face, thick hair, thick eyebrows and bright eyes of a "greenish gray" colour. He has strongly growing facial hair and therefore shaves every morning.<ref name="wenger"></ref>{{Reference page|pages=16-19}} Outdoors, he usually wears a thick black overcoat. In the 1930s, he wears a bowler hat, but from the 1940s he wears a fedora.<ref name="wenger"></ref>{{Reference page|pages=20-25}} He frequently smokes a tobacco pipe.<ref name="wenger"></ref>{{Reference page|pages=31-34}}
He is happily married to his wife Louise (usually referred to as Madame Maigret). He doesn't like his first name being used and prefers to be called "Maigret". Even his wife usually calls him "Maigret", only using his first name a handful of times.<ref name="wenger">{{cite book |last1=Wenger |first1=Murielle |title=Maigret's World: A Reader's Companion to Simenon's Famous Detective |last2=Trusel |first2=Stephen |publisher=McFarland & Company |year=2017 |isbn=978-1476669779}}</ref>{{Reference page|pages=6-7}}
At work, he is aided by "The Faithful Four": detectives Lucas, Janvier, Lapointe, and Torrence.<ref name="haining"/> Other prominent characters include police surgeon Dr. Paul;<ref name="wenger" />{{Reference page|pages=127-128}} Judge Coméliau, the Examining Magistrate who alternates between being a help and a hindrance to Maigret;<ref name="wenger" />{{Reference page|pages=135-138}} Joseph Moers, a forensic specialist;<ref name="wenger" />{{Reference page|pages=126-127}} and Dr. Pardon, Maigret's close friend and physician.<ref name="wenger" />{{Reference page|pages=78-80}}
In most novels, Maigret is aged around 45 to 55 years. There are contradictory clues to his year of birth. In ''Monsieur Gallet, décédé'', which takes place in 1930, Maigret is described as 45, indicating 1885 as his year of birth. In another novel ''La première enquete de Maigret'', where the investigation takes place in 1913, the author states that Maigret is 26, which establish his year of birth as 1887. In the 1932 novel ''L'affaire Saint-Fiacre'', Maigret is 42, which would mean he was born in 1890, assuming he is contemporary to the year the novel was written.<ref name="wenger"></ref>{{Reference page|page=9}}
Maigret was from the fictional village of Saint-Fiacre in the Allier department,{{efn|In ''The Saint-Fiacre Affair'' and ''Maigret's Memoirs'' the narrator states that Maigret spent his childhood in Saint-Fiacre near Matignon. In ''Maigret's Vacation'', however, Maigret reflects on his time as an altar boy "in his Allier village".<ref name="wenger"></ref>{{Reference page|pages=10-14}}}} where his father, Evariste Maigret, was the bailiff for the local landowner. Maigret's mother died in childbirth when he was eight. He studied medicine at Nantes, but dropped out when his father died.<ref name="wenger"></ref>{{Reference page|pages=10-12}} He began working as a police officer in Paris in his twenties. At the age of 30, he entered the Homicide Squad and became chief inspector of the squad in his late thirties. He probably retired at the age of 55, giving him over 30 year police experience.<ref name="wenger"></ref>{{Reference page|page=11}}

Rupert Davies played the title role in the 1960s British ''Maigret'' TV series, which debuted on 31 October 1960. Davies took over the part after Basil Sydney, who appeared as Maigret in the original transmitted pilot, proved unavailable owing to ill-health. Davies went on to star in 52 adaptations for BBC TV in that decade. His portrayal won two of the highest accolades: his versions were dubbed into French and played across the Channel; and Simenon himself said of Davies "At last, I have found the perfect Maigret!"<ref>{{cite book|last=Winn|first=Christopher|title=I Never Knew That About Wales|publisher=Random House|year=2009|page=39|isbn=9781407028231}}</ref> The theme tune to the TV series, "Midnight in Montmartre", was composed by Ron Grainer.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ron Grainer|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/3x2xw0QVqY7Fjmj386RDl30/ron-grainer|publisher=BBC|access-date=4 January 2020|archive-date=17 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190817151250/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/3x2xw0QVqY7Fjmj386RDl30/ron-grainer|url-status=live}}</ref> Kees Brusse and Jan Teulings also portrayed the character in separate Dutch adaptations produced around the same time.

===Radio=== Maurice Denham played Chief Inspector Maigret in a series of three-quarter-hour dramatizations of the novels on BBC Radio 4 beginning in 1976, with Michael Gough playing Georges Simenon. The format of each play would begin with Maigret and Simenon sitting together discussing some fact or event which would then lead into Maigret's recounting a particular case, with Simenon asking questions or commenting from time to time. After Denham's death, the series was continued in 2003 with Nicholas Le Prevost playing a gruffer, more earthy Maigret and Julian Barnes playing Simenon.
In the interim, Bernard Hepton starred in a 1986 Saturday Night Theatre adaptation of ''Maigret's Special Murder'', whilst Barry Foster played the detective in 1998's ''Maigret's Christmas'' for the Afternoon Play.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.trussel.com/maig/radio.htm|title=Maigret on the Radio|website=www.trussel.com}}</ref>
