Agatha Christie’s Marple

Geraldine McEwan and Julia McKenzie in Agatha Christie's Marple (2004)

Agatha Christie’s Marple (otherwise just known as Marple) is the perfect show for when you need a quiet night in. My Grandpa Buck introduced it to me and I thoroughly enjoy it.

Each episode runs about the length of a movie and so far (I’m only on Season 2) follows the plot of Christie’s novels starring Miss Marple. I’ve quite lost my heart to Geraldine McEwan’s Miss Marple, though it appears there are two different ladies who played the role on the show’s long run. (2004-2013!)

I’m down with a violent head cold (and yes, fairly certain it is only a head cold) and the show is almost as soothing as my cup of tea.
