DVD Description

The Agatha Christie: Miss Marple - 4.50 From Paddington DVD is a feature-length adaptation of the hit TV murder mystery series, "Agatha Christie's Marple". Award-winning actress Geraldine McEwan ("The Magdelene Sisters") stars as the super detective Miss Jane Marple in the period drama. Her unassuming old lady exterior hides an excellent perception of human nature, and a razor sharp wit and intuition which she executes brilliantly to solve the most complicated crimes. Even murderers underestimate her... always at their own peril! In "4.50 From Paddington", Mrs McGillicuddy (Pam Ferris) is woken from a very pleasant dream by a train suddenly pulling parallel to hers. As they draw level, a blind flies up and she finds herself staring straight into the eyes of a woman being throttled by a man, who is silhouetted against the window...

5.0 out of 5 stars very good, 10 July 2009
By S. HADAVI "sinead" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)   
This is one of the better adaptations, with the excellent Geraldine McEwan. The story is of Mrs McGillicuddy who sees a man strangle a woman on a passing train. Of course no one believes her, except her friend Miss Marple.Pam Ferris is fantastic as Mrs McGillicuddy she brings humour and warmth to the character, "get out the damson gin". Amanda Holden, plays Lucy Eyelesbarrow, the housekeeper hired by Miss Marple to find the body at Rutherford Hall, as this is the only place the body could have been pushed fron the train.Will she find it, and who from the hall did it. A very glamorous production. It does deviaate from the story but it does not seem to matter, as the basics are there. A good production.

5.0 out of 5 stars Geraldine McEwan Makes a Good Miss Marple, 17 Oct 2006
I've been an Murder Myster fan from I was very young, growing up with a mother who watched Miss Marple, Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poriot, Murder She Wrote etc. So, it was a difficult not to get interested and become a fan of these programmes. But I must admit my favourite is Miss Marple the old granny type who pretends to be a dottery but is so not, and always seems to outwit the male detectives and solve the cases before they can even figure it out. My two favourite Miss Marple actresses have been of course Margaret Rutherford and Joan Hickson, in my book they were the two that best fitted the part. So you can imagine that I wasn't to impressed when I heard that there where some new remakes of Miss Marple cases like 4.50 From Paddington, The Body in the Library, A Murder Announced, The Moving Finger etc. There was an actress I'd never heard of playing Miss Marple, an actress called Geraldine McEwan and all I could think of was that they were going to ruin my favourite crime solver.

I hadn't ever planned on watching any of the new Miss Marples, but a friend watched them one of them and said it was really good, so she talked me into watching 4.50 from Paddington and I got a pleasant surprise because I really enjoyed it, there were a few obvious changes from the other Miss Marple Editions to this one, but the main thing was I wasnt disappointed. Geraldine McEwan makes a great Miss Marple, she gives the character a bit more spunk, and there's a bit more of a back story to Miss Marple's younger years which really makes each story better.

I love these ones so much that I've bought the box sets so I can watch them whenever I like, which is great.

Miss Marple's 4.50 From Paddington with Geraldine McEwan, starts off with a friend of Jane Marple's coming by train to visit with her for a bit before flying abroad to stay with a new friend for Christmas. On her way to St Mary Mead she sees someone strangling a woman on a passing train, she reports it to police who search the train but find no body, in true Marple fashion, Jane and her friend decide to take a little journey on the train that the murder took place on which was of course the 4.50 from Paddington, they get a map and some train timetables and try to find out if there's anywhere that the body could have been pushed off the train, and there is one spot near a place called Rutherford Hall and so begins the mystery.......
