Marple last night.

Honestly how boring was that!

I fell asleep. It was so dull, the story was boring, the acting was false considering the quality of the cast!

Was it just me?

Re: Marple last night.

There is only one Mrs Marple and that is Joan Hickson, no one else even comes close and certainly not the new woman

(thats asuming the Marple you mention means you are talking about Agatha Christie Mrs Marple )

Yes I decided to watch based on the cast. Fair enough I don't like this stuff as a rule but that doesn't excuse how bad this was. I lasted as long as Tom Baker. Zedding away after that.

The best Miss Marple was Margaret Rutherford.

Re: Marple last night.

Of all the things to debate..."who was the best Marple?" takes the biscuit!! That really made me laugh just now!

Joan Hickson for me too though...bring it on!

Its a bit like saying Peter Ustinov was a better Poirot than David Suchet - that sort of thing will get you poisoned, hung, shot and stabbed by the Agatha Christie fan club

Can't get away with either of them as Poirot but Rutherford was the only Miss Marple. Are you a member of the Agatha Christie fan club?

All the best

Joan Hickson had a bit part in one of the Rutherford films.
