An A to Z of UK Television Drama

13. Miss Marple


Listen Later

Andy and Martin appraise the classic murder mystery series Agatha Christie's Miss Marple which starred Joan Hickson and was initially produced by Guy Slater. The series saw all 12 full Miss Marple novels adapted for the small screen between 1984 and 1992.
For the purpose of this episode they turn their attention to two of their favourites: A Murder is Announced starring Ursula Howells, Samantha Bond, Simon Shepherd and John Castle, and Nemesis starring Margaret Tyzack, Peter Tilbury and Joanna Hole.
Along the way they compare the series with its later ITV counterpart and explain why they feel Joan Hickson is the quintessential Miss Marple.
