5.0 out of 5 stars I love this, 15 Jan 2009
By Mr. J. R. Trinder "jrtrinder37" (Canterbury) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)   
I don't know why some people don't like Geraldine McEwan's Miss Marple. Probably becouse her Miss Marple is not like the one portrayed by Agatha Christie, but I don't really care. The show in itself is fun, dramatic and unique. McEwan is a really engaging lady who really brings the character to life and with great warmth something that was missing in Joan Hickson's Marple. ITV do seem to adapt non-Marple books and put her in it, which is not necessarily bad but rather pointless. This still doesn't make it any worse and when changes are made they are always for the better. People who are purest and who want to see exactly what they read, on the TV won't like this, but if they adapted it completely faithfully then people would criticise it for not being very interesting of different. A must for all Christie fans!

4.0 out of 5 stars The UK dvd may be delayed but you can buy the American dvd, 13 Dec 2007
By David - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)   
I totally agree with other reviewers that the constant change in release dates for Marple Series 3 is very annoying. I have no idea why dvd companies do this. However all is not lost, there is an American dvd which contains all 4 episodes of Marple series 3 available. This item is listed on Amazon and isnt over priced. A word of warning - being an American dvd it is region 1 coded and will on play on such coded players, so please make sure your player is compatable.

The 4 episodes in the series are:-
At Bertrams Hotel which has been shown on UK television. A good episode which has been changed quite alot from the original Agatha Christie novel. The music score is excellent.
Ordeal By Innocence - this novel didn't feature Miss Marple but the adaption is good and Miss Marples inclusion fits in nicely. This story has been shown on UK television.
Towards Zero hasn't been shown on UK television yet so I won't give away any plot details. The story is in my opinion the best in this series and features the great Tom Baker as a guest star.
Nemesis also hasn't been shown yet. The story has been changed quite alot from Agatha Chrisite's novel but is again very enjoyable.

So, all in all this is the best series so far. I have rated this item 4 stars based on the quality of the programme rather than the UK dvd. Don't be put off by the changes to Agatha Christie's classic novels just sit back and enjoy some great drama with a top notch cast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Agatha Christie's Marple, 17 Dec 2009
By Colin Dent "jaguar72" (Berkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If, like me, you believe that Geraldine McEwan is the best ever Miss Marple, then this set is a must have. Especially since another actress has taken over the role.
'At Bertram's Hotel' and 'Nemesis' are arguably the best two stories of the 12 featuring Geraldine.
As usual, it is unlikely that you will find a better price than Amazons' for this bok set.
