13. Miss Marple

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. Next time: Nice
