I think Joan Hickson portrayal was beautifully understated and she perfectly conveyed Miss Marple’s self-deprecating brilliance.Īs I said, I thought the series was excellent – the music and opening credits created the just the right atmosphere – a kind of genteel menace - and the period costumes and settings were perfect. I hardly recognised it as the ‘Sleeping Murder’ I know! But more of Geraldine McEwan later. Unlike the recent ‘Sleeping Murder’ starring Geraldine McEwan as Marple. This is always the case on the large or small screen – but nothing too outlandish. Yes, they took some liberties with the plots and characters. Unhesitatingly, I plump for Joan Hickson and I really loved the television films she made of the Jane Marple stories. As with Hercule Poirot, we all have our own ideas about who is the best miss Marple.
