I personally prefer Julia McKenzie as Marple so my favourites are: The Pale Horse, The Blue Geranium, The Mirror Crack’d, A Caribbean Mystery and Greenshaw’s Folly.Īfter season 1, the series start to go off at a tangent by adding Marple into too many ‘non-Marple’ stories and re-writing them to the point in which some even have different murderers! I would describe ‘The Sittaford Mystery’, ‘The Secret of Chimneys’, ‘Why Didn’t They Ask Evens’ and ‘Murder is Easy’ as inspired by Agatha Christie’s novels but nothing more. The first first episodes are faithful to the original novels by Agatha Christie for me season 1 is best in terms of story. Unlike the Poirot series which stay close to the novels and original plots by Agatha Christie, much more poetic licence has been taken in the Marple series. The street scenes were filmed in Dorchester on Thames, Oxfordshire and the home build for Mike and Ellie by Robbie is ‘The Homewood’ in Surrey.įor me, the 6 series and be summed up as ‘Starts and ends strong with some serious wobbles in the middle’. Tom Hughes plays Mike Rogers and Joanna Vanderham is Ellie – Tamzin Outhwaite appears as Mrs Rogers and Birgitte Hjort Sorensen is Gretta. The acting is a bit lack-lustre for me and I just don’t warm to any of them. I personally found it a bit slow and it’s not one I could watch again and again. Basically – if you’ve read the novel, you wont like the addition of Miss Marple, if you’ve not read the story and aren’t familiar with it – you probably will like it! The novel was one of Christie’s more darker novels and there are some definitely creepy moments in it. The original novel by Agatha Christie did not include Marple so this is the last time we have her character added into the story for the sake of the TV episodes and for me it’s not one that works as well as say ‘Towards Zero’. Characters from Christie’s Other NovelsĪ much more sinister and dark production to end the season with.New Poirot Film 2020 – Death on the Nile Expectations.
