OK, so there were a few minor things with lighting, and the back-projection of the driving scenes were a bit odd, but all in all this is an excellent Miss Marple starring Geraldine McEwan. Harry Enfield was a magnificent portrayal of the uptight solicitor Richard Symmington, and Imogen Stubbs was a great gossipy, snobbish Mona Symmington. Ken Russell scared me (I have to admit) as Reverand Caleb Dane Calthrop, and I can't believe Frances De La Tour was cast as his wife, Maude (she looked as ugly as a gargoyle)! James D'Arcy was a good Jerry Burton, and Emilia Fox as Joanna Burton was good.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, and it's on my Top 3 list along with "A Murder is Announced" and "The Murder at the Vicarage." This adaptation isn't as good as Hickson's version, but still very enjoyable. I recommend that you see it, for I know you will enjoy it!
