well Charles Dance MUST be good at playing dead.......or the other suspects useless...........all that make-up, and movement, and they never realised he was play acting.........

No idea who Aiden Turner is - so will google him

i have to admit - i got half way through episode 1 & thought what a load of old rubbish - even with such good actors in it.

Then they killed off the best female actress in the show & leave the other two - who didn't seem to know what to do or where to do it - let alone act their way out of a paper bag (MY OPINION ONLY)

Well it was a big let down - i was so looking forward to watching it too with lovely Sam Neill & Charles Dance in it - I was really expecting big things from the BBC

Oh well - lets see what next year brings

Mmmm - If that happens, I may watch it!!
BUT, I would like a non-misogynistic Bond, with a respect for women......

......but Aiden would do......

that Aiden Turner is being heralded at the next James Bond

I couldn't remember the ending either....

Makes me feel quite sane :-D :-D :-D :-D

certainly wouldn't be kicking him out of bed :-D :-D

Joan Hickson was the one and only

struth - that ending was a mega surprise to me - I read the book yonks ago and couldn't remember a thing about it - very atmospheric, scary

True!

#wipes dribble with the back of my hand#

:-0 <3

I agree, Bob and MotownGal, but Aiden Turner is the best whoever he is (Lombard I think) in a towel ever!! :-D :-0 :-S

Well said Bob, my sentiments exactly.

Joan Hickson was by far the best Marple, and David Suchet the best Poirot. That's my opinion anyway, for what it's worth.

Joan Hickson was the best ever Miss Marple even AC choose her.

You may be able to get the box set cheaper on Amazon or play.com.

I know Alibi is repeating them all this week.

With Dickensian, I spend far too much time trying to remember which novels the characters are from, and not enough on the Plot :-S

Just watched episode 2 on Iplayer. I read the book years ago, but have forgotten the ending completely.
Just to add, I have seen 3 episodes of Dickensian so far and I think it's brilliant.

oooer :-S :-S :-S :-S

AnnC, we have watched the first episode and both looking forward to the other two.
I found it too dark and not great sound wise, but not at all creepy. The bonus with BBC is there are no advertisements.

Emma, we have recorded the Dickensian programmes, but haven't got around to watching any of them yet.

Will it end like the book or the stage play, though? AC wrote a different ending for the play.

You are both right DET and Sue it was called both of those titles in the past.

Tabitha, I don't know if you will agree, but I think the best Marple was Joan Hickson. To me she was like an inquisitive little bird going around picking up tit-bits of information, and putting them all together.

I wanted the full boxset of her interpretation of Miss Marple, until I found out how much it would be.

Strangely enough both the Geraldine McEwan and the Julia McKenzie versions were a lot cheaper!

:-0 :-0

I also enjoyed it and know who done it and
will be watching it all :-)

What I'm not enjoying is Dickensian.

Waiting to watch all 3 together

I have every book Agatha Christie ever wrote & seen all the productions too.

I know who did what & when but still enjoy watching new versions.

Except where Geraldine McEwan was concerned she ruined Miss Marples reputation.

I've read most of her books - love them - can't remember whodunnit in this case!!!
