Agatha Christie’s Marple

Hmm.

Now, I love Geraldine McEwan normally but it’s not just me who thinks that she’s hopelessly miscast in the role of Miss Marple is it?

That said, she’s also adrift in a fairly apalling set of productions anyway. Somehow the BBC adaptations I grew up with keep on shining by comparison. I caught the new “Sleeping Murder” the other day and – whilst Sophia Miles was predictably brilliant – somehow something didn’t feel at all right about the whole thing.

Joan Hickson, we miss you.

Miss Marple will always be Joan Hickson to me.

She couldn’t be anyone else.

I hear she was even Agatha Christie’s choice for the role. Years before the BBC even mooted it.

Got something to say?
