Agatha Christie's Miss Marple

Set in the 1930s, '40s and early '50s, the world of AGATHA CHRISTIE'S MISS MARPLE is one of vicars and retired colonels, live-in servants, close-knit village communities and a much slower pace of life. Miss Jane Marple, having lived in the tiny Hampshire village of St. Mary Mead all her life, has acquired a keen insight into human behavior which enables her to solve murder mysteries which baffle the police. AGATHA CHRISTIE'S MISS MARPLE is a classic public television favorite, filmed entirely on location, with star-studded casts and period atmosphere. Actress Joan Hickson is perfect as Miss Marple and was even Agatha Christie's choice for the role. Hickson won the Royal Television Society Best Actress award in 1987, making her the definitive Miss Marple. The 10 episodes in Series I comprise dramatizations of four of Christie's classic novels: The Body in the Library, The Moving Finger, A Murder is Announced and A Pocketful of Rye.

There are no upcoming episodes of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple.
