BBC The Miss Marple Collection [DVD]

All twelve Miss Marple mysteries starring Joan Hickson. “Especially in an English village – turn over a stone, you have no idea what will crawl out,” spinster detective Miss Marple tells Inspector Craddock during their first meeting over tea and crumpets. Agatha Christie’s most popular character has her own techniques to deal with such mysteries: thorough observation, polite questioning, a keen insight into the human mind – and the reassuring click of knitting needles. Binge on twelve classic mysteries by the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie, or savour them slowly. Superb actress Joan Hickson serves murder anyway you like it as Miss Jane Marple, the softly spoken senior sleuth who succeeds where the police fail. Gather your wits for a dozen dastardly crimes, filmed entirely on location with lush period settings. The Body in the Library, The 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, A Caribbean Mystery, They Do It with Mirrors and The Mirror Crack’d from Side to Side.
