## Description

Classic murder mysteries by the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie, filmed entirely on location and oozing period atmosphere. Joan Hickson's gentle portrayal is the most popular Miss Marple ever, winning her loyal fans around the world and a Best Actress award from the Royal Television Society. This boxset contains the following mysteries: Contains: Body In the Library, Moving Finger, A Murder Is Announced, A Pocketful Of Rye, The Murder At The Vicarage, Sleeping Murder, At Bertram's Hotel, Nemesis, 4.50 From Paddington, They Do It With Mirrors, A Carribean Mystery, The Mirror Cracked From Side To Side

Review: A bit of twee escapism - Joan Hickson does not play Miss Marple in this series, like other actresses before her and since. She IS Miss Marple. Just like Larry Hagman was J.R. This is a thoroughly absorbing set of jolly hockey sticks English murder stories that is contextualised by quintessential, romanticised notions of old fashioned English values: doing the right thing; knowing your place in this class ridden society where the maids are white but very thick or simple (or both) and the middle class are also white, privately school, well spoken, well educated and live off unearned income or pensioned from the services - having served as an officer, of course. English culture is also narrowed to an absurd degree to revolve around going to a picturesque Church on Sundays, nice cups of tea with home made scones and discussing the weather, sending invitation cards to announce social events, or gossiping about other villagers at the post office or whilst pruning the roses. In St Mary Mead, the home of Miss Marple, the poor don't exist, except as maids who speak very badly, nor do any ethnic minorities exist except as eccentric cooks who can barely speak English and thow fits of paranoia whenever a murder is uncovered - assuming, quite correctly, that they will be accused before anyone else is because they are 'foreign' and a have a natural bent toward dishonesty. But the butcher, the baker and candlestick maker do exist - as do village murders that can only be solved by reciting nursery rhymes not by calling the police. But, hey, who cares how politically incorrect and silly that is? By today's standards, and even during the time this series was made, the settings for each story was about as realistic and factual correct as the Lochness Monster is genuine, but it's fun escapism, nevertheless and makes great viewing - whilst tucking into freshly baked scones, home made jam and nice pot of tea on standby, of course!
Review: Thank goodnes for Joan Hickson ! - As someone who has read all The Miss Marple short stories & 8 of the novels all I can say is that Joan Hickson captures the essence of The Miss Marple of the Agatha Christie books to perfection . All the other characters have justice done to them in this series as well - I know that its plot-lines take liberties with the books . But when you look at how depressing the more recent Poirot TV shows have been through sticking like a limpet to the books storyline this is perhapes no bad thing . The Joan Hickson episodes are very true to the period & her performance as the shrewd spinster is very engaging . The PC Miss Marple that ITV have churning out over the last few years shows that bringing in dodgy sexual behaviour ( that Agatha Christie never did in her books ) does not enhance anything . Watching ITV's Marple is a reminder of just how brilliant Joan Hickson's episodes where . In the this top draw series that ran from 1984 & 1992 all the Miss Marple novels are televised with enough running time to do them justice . The characters are from the novels are done very well by the cast of fine actors . Miss Marple's dry sense of humour is always a treat as is Chief Inspector Slack's comic bombast . Unlike Helen Hayes , Margaret Rutherford , Gerladine McEwan and even Angela Lansbury the late great Joan Hickson is Miss Marple and deservedly so . The settings of the series are very well done . This is a great way to pass a few hours on an otherwise dull Sunday afternoon !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ best Marple
*by D***N on 29 April 2011*

This boxed set provides the viewer with not only the best Miss Marple portayal, but also that which is closest to the orginal written works. Joan Hickson, sadly no longer with us, gives a performance which in my minds eye is like the character that Agatha Christie describes. The later versions of this character, whilst well acted and produced, come nowhere near the understated version that Ms Hickson provides. All in all, a most enjoyable boxed set which provides my wife and I with entertainment on thos evenings when the rest of television is of poor quality.
