They should have made a series with Craddock/Castle playing a 40's detective, would have been great.

@blindsideboy86 I know what you mean, but if you read the Marple stories, it's sometimes surprising how late she comes into the story, or how little she contributes. 'The Moving Finger' is the best example, in the original novel she doesn't appear until about 3/4 of the story is done! Marple stories were always about her just throwing ideas in and solving it without getting involved. Unlike Poirot who often was 'on the scene' and often directly involved.

At 7:00 -- "Pip and Emma": During World War I, radiomen expressed "p.m." as "pip emma".

There's nuthin' like the threads of reality woven throughout Christie's works to teach & inform generations to come!
