By far, my all-time favorite
mystery writer is Agatha Christie. I have ALL her books. I can read them over
and over and still get a great deal out of them. Same with the televised
mysteries.
For the Jane Marple stories,
I already had a pretty clear mental picture of what she might look like. Of the
various actresses, Joan Hickson WAS Jane Marple, as far as I was concerned. And
the theme music for those episodes was my favorite as well. Written by Ron
Howard. NOT of “Opie” fame…

The other Marple was played
by Geraldine McEwan and she was OK. She was a lot more physically spunky than
Ms. Hickson, but I’ve never thought of Miss Marple as being very physical.
Gutsy, yes, but in a much quieter manner. Always soft-spoken. The theme music
for these episodes was good too, but I still prefer the first one. This one is
by Dominik Scherrer.
