The title of the series removes the word Miss from Miss Marple, to match the title of the Agatha Christie's Poirot series. Subsequent episodes were derived both from works featuring Miss Marple and also Christie novels that did not feature the character. The first six episodes were all adaptations of Miss Marple novels by Christie. Overview Įach series consists of four feature-length episodes, except series six which only has three episodes. Following the conclusion of the sixth series, the BBC acquired the rights for the production of Agatha Christie adaptations, suggesting that ITV would be unable to make a seventh series of Marple. Unlike the counterpart TV series Agatha Christie's Poirot, the show took many liberties with Christie’s works, most notably adding Miss Marple’s character to the adaptations of novels in which she never appeared. The title character was played by Geraldine McEwan from the first to the third series, until her retirement from the role, and by Julia McKenzie from the fourth series onwards.
( Chorion/RLJ Entertainment)Īgatha Christie's Marple (or simply Marple) is a British ITV television programme loosely based on the books and short stories by British crime novelist Agatha Christie.
