Miss Marple

Miss Marple

Overview

A British television series based on the Miss Marple murder mystery novels by Agatha Christie, starring Joan Hickson in the title role. The series was remade in 2004 as Agatha Christie’s Marple. The basic concept is the same. Little old lady solves crimes.

Somewhat confusingly, the show is billed as both a series and a miniseries. That is, the ‘episode’ with the lesbians – “A Murder Is Announced” – is itself a 3-episode mini-series, within the broader series.
