Marple
Geraldine McEwan and Julia McKenzie star in the latest TV adaption of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Following in the footsteps of Gracie Fields, Margaret Rutherford, Angela Lansbury, Helen Hayes and Joan Hickson, Geraldine McEwan plays the part of elderly amateur sleuth Jane Marple, who has an extraordinary knack of solving crimes. The series is based on the Miss Marple stories by Agatha Christie, who's novels have also been adapted for Agatha Christie's Poirot. The first four novels to be adapted for ITV are The Murder At The Vicarage (1930), The Body In The Library (1942), A Murder Is Announced (1950) and 4:50 From Paddington (1957). ITV will be adapting another four this year, and the other four next year. TV tie-in versions of the four novels are to be published on January 3rd, 2005. A documentary entitled Behind The Scenes: Agatha Christie's Marple was shown on ITV3 after the final episode of the first series. The documentary is available on the DVD release.
