The definitive Miss Marple

Joan Hickson was and will remain the definitive Miss Marple, there were many before and quite a few after, but there is only one Joan Hickson. Agatha Christie penned twelve Miss Marple novels and they are all here in this boxed set. On the whole they are faithful representations with only minor alterations which are included in order to aid story telling and in some instances as an aid to continuity, for instance the inclusion of the `Inspector Slack` character into several stories in which he did not originally appear works very well. The only real problem with this collection is the fact that they are aging somewhat and could really do with a `digital clean-up`. That said, if you like Agatha Christie and Miss Marple then this is the set for you.
The Definitive Detective!!!!!!

Joan Hickson was and always will be the definitive Miss Marple and the favoured choice of Agatha Christie her creator.
Her look, acting, mild manor and capabilities to solve the most baffling of cases before the incompetent Police with such persistence and dignity makes her an enjoyment to watch.
This is a collection for all who enjoy to be entertained by watching a good murder mystery and watch it be solved or try to solve it oneselves.
This is for the ages, a detective at the height of their power. Ten out of Ten!!!!
Fantastic! Classic Agatha Christie at her very best!

Each of these Miss Marple stories is superbly acted by Joan Hickson. They remain faithful to Agatha Christie's original stories and retain the charm and innocence of the novels.
This boxset may seem quite expensive - but if you consider that it contains 12 feature-length films it is actually a very good buy - and worth every penny. Make a nice cup of tea and enjoy!!!!
