The Clocks
In the 1978 film of "Death on the Nile" Colonel Race was played by David Niven. In the same book's 2004 TV adaptation for the television series "Agatha Christie's Poirot", he was played by James Fox. As Fox was unavailable for the 2006 adaptation of "Cards on the Table" the character was replaced by the similar character "Colonel Hughes", played by Robert Pugh. ITV's adaptation of "The Clocks" makes the character of Colin Lamb, strongly implied in the book to be the son of Superintendent Battle, into the offspring of Colonel Race. He is also mentioned in the adaptation of "Third Girl".
