A Murder is Announced 01/18 - Agatha Christie

[ameliou71]

the best of miss marple =)

[goldennuggets25]

My favourite Miss Marple story and this version like the others in the Joan Hickson series is so much better than the more recent one, Geraldine McEwan and Julia McKenzie are good but can't compare with Joan Hickson, the later series may look more sumptuous but they're much less true to the books and the acting generally less good.

[Blisterdude123]

I always preferred the Joan Hickson series, thought they were more true to the stories, and better character wise. Less focused on sensationalist drama and taking....''liberties'', shall we say.

[TheExlurker]

Why do ignorant people exist? I swear I hate them more than anything and hope that they die off this earth and take their "precious" so called life to the grave and explain to GOD why they treated his own creation like they are not humans.

Now this show is excellent and I would rather people commented on Miss Marple rather than focus on ethnic groups or gays.....it is not your place to judge others trust me.....you will regret it in the long term!

[jenniferh341]

I agree with comments that the latest MMs are missing the point. For me, AC novels are not only mysteries, they are period dramas. I enjoy reading about and watching behaviors and conventions from AC's time and place. Changing characters' behavior and dialogue to fit with modern ideas would be like changing dialogue and behavior in a movie version of a Jane Austen or a Dickens novel (Elizabeth Bennet swearing!?). The period is important. It is not secondary to the plot. Love Joan Hickson!

[jmuslvr]

It is implied in the Christie book that Hinchcliff and Murgatroyd are lesbians.It is also implied in this version.It is more than implied in the McEwan version.But the McEwan Marples were all completely rewritten and were not all that true to Christie.And, gay people have been discriminated against in the same way that black people have been.Job discrimination,housing discrimination,and hate crimes. Homophobia is as bad as racism and sexism.

[katatinkacaroon]

@jmuslvr And what is the prejudice against Americans. Is that okay?

[jmuslvr]

@katatinkacaroon Prejudice against Americans is not ok. Actually, I am an American, and I'm proud of my country. We are not perfect, but we are basically good people who want the best for all of the world's citizens.

[katatinkacaroon]

@jmuslvr Hi, Jmuslvr Glad to hear you say so. I am a Yank & lived in Britain for 30 years.Most Americans believe the British are polite and civilized. We have been spood-fed that idea all our lives. The British have been spoon-fed the idea that Americans are responsible for all the world's ills. They speak to us as if all we need do is snap our fingers and end evil forever, considering that evil did not exist until we did. Please wake me up when 'the victims' have noticed I am human too. Ta.

[calihartley2010]

@jmuslvr Wow you cannot compare discrimination against gays to blacks. Blacks were discrminated based on race and skin color. Gays are being discriminated because of their perverse lifestyle which is a sin. Being black is not a sin, but commiting gay acts is a sin. Sadly the liefstyle that both gays and blacks advocate is ruining the western world. Gays because they want people to accept and spread their sinful lifestyle and blacks want people to accept ghetto culture and rap culture.

[jmuslvr]

This is a wonderful production. It's exactly how I would imagine an English village looked in the 1950's. And I love Miss Blacklock's house. It has that "English country house" look that I think is quite nice.

[soldadura1000]

lastima que no la tienen toda la pelicula

[hassankalaldeh]

@soldadura1000

This is only one part of the movie.

The whole movie is uploaded,see my videos for the rest.

[blueeightysix]

"A murder's tip, scrumptious!"

"What time did you say it was? Seven?"

"Yes, at Little Paddock's."

"I have a confirmation class."

"Oh, what a shame! And you do so love a good murder!"

I'm ROARING with laughter!!!!

[lotusblue86]

Thanks sooo much for uploading these!!!! I thought I was gonna have to watch that McEwan playing Miss marple =O Joan Hickson IS Miss marple, Agatha Christie said herself she'd make an excellent Miss Marple =)

[WedgeOfSpite]

Joan Hickson is the quintessential Miss Marple. No others are as good. Reportedly even Agatha Christie told Joan she would be an excellent Miss Marple when she was older.

Thanks for uploading these

[lynfendleyfoster]

I love the opening of this one. Miss Marple's look as she watches the waitress walk away after saying, "For a foreigner, I suppose," makes me giggle. She's SO disapproving. I enjoy all of the Marples, but I really do miss Joan Hickson. She WAS Miss Marple to me, and the one I keep in my mind when I re-read the books. No offense to the other actors who have portrayed Jane. ;-)

[MegaUsaname]

We were watching this in english

[silverbud]

@cristoholic

Yes, times are changing, but respect authors' creations. Ask new authors to write plots with lots of gay and lesbian, or why not, point on animal rights, too. In the end, it is a matter of taste. I personally want the originals.

[207rockchick]

i LOVE Agatha Christie I would not like to see her works changed to accommodate anyone. Tampering with an authors work to suit others is reprehensible. btw im just a little tired of gays likening their struggle to the black experience, it most certainly is not!

[calihartley2010]

@207rockchick Wow I am glad there is a person like you who thinks the same way as I do. Gays cannot compare their struggle to that of the black people. Only fools make that comparison.

[MrNightOwL100]

This is my favorite miss marple so far. John Castle was fantastic as were the rest of the cast! Thank you!

[JediMasterCheryl]

I rarely comment back on this but YOU MISSED MY POINT AS MOST OF YOU DO! It's the changing of the damn PLOT to accommodate for homosexuals or the implementation of 'added material' like Miss Marple having an affair with a married man that I find distasteful and egregious!

I HAVE A GAY SON WHOM I LOVE VERY MUCH & EVEN HE DOESN'T LIKE THESE CHANGES! So get off your high-horse. I made a point about changing what to me is CLASSIC literature. Would you enjoy The Iliad being based in Rome or Egypt?

[allconspirer]

Watch the Dead Ringers micky take of Marple, it's perfect, and thank God for the Joan Hickson Marples, I never watched them back in the day but no one else has ever come close certainly not Geraldine, Julia or Magaret and I've been reading the books for thirty years!!

[gaiamaddalena]

thank you so much for posting it

[thinknvote]

Thank you so much for uploading.

[windstorm1000]

what's Jedi Master got against gays? They make some of the best plot characters in mystery novels.

[windstorm1000]

I loved watching Miss Marple with my Mom (or as they say in UK "Mum"). We had so much fun with the delicious period details, the fine acting and trying to figure out "who did it". Now Mom is gone and I have to watch Miss Marple by myself-its tough!! Miss you Mom.

[lollipopfop]

ˆlike McEwan best. She is the nly one that I find believable as a sleuth. Joan H is so cold and unfeeling, I can't imagine anyone would talk to her, or that she would even care about anyone enough to get inviolved. Plus she is very unpleasant to look at for some reason. Like she hates the world. or disapproves of it. I would rather not watch people id walk away from in real life!

[CUTHBERT15]

i love joan hickson as miss marple. the new miss marple (ITV) well shes crap. sorry i speak as i find!!!

[ukeelady]

Thank you for taking the time to post these for us :) oxo

[utursu2]

I love the innocence of village life. If at all possible I would love to live such a life.

[Addonmaniac]

Personly , I like Detctive movies , I am only 15 and were learning about it in school , Im quiet interested in Miss marple , agatha christie stories

[mrbeancounter90]

At 7.39 when he says "Good old Rigor Mortis", it is in exactly the same tone as when Kenneth More says it in the 1954 film "Doctor in the House" which I suggest is a nod to the film being set at the same time.

[mrbeancounter90]

Oh, yes, and of Joan Hickson was in that too!!

Played the Simon Sparrow's landlady and mother of Shirley Eaton.

[kloudmad]

one of my fav novels

[lupinswitch99]

If you all dont like it, then why watch it and why comment, save your bitching and complaning for someone who actualy gives a damn

[FSPKW]

This is my favourite adaptation of an Agatha Christie story. Perfect cast and perfect script. The three people who gave this thumbs down have no taste.

[goombabear]

Hickson plays the character as Christie had wanted, a rather cold busy body. In later novels she became more likable. I like how Geraldine McEwan played the character though.

[bronteteri]

i never like this Joan Hickman as Ms Marple...to cold w/people... I love G.MacEwan's best of all...she is so caring and so clever..her face expression's like S.H.'s tell's you she is on to something .. but this Joan H.. is just bland.

[niederdonau]

VOTE BNP !

[muffin818]

I like Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple because she's always got a twinkle in her eye. But I love the Joan Hickson films better because they do the stories more justice. This is one of my favourite books.

[MusicLoverBrian1]

@muffin818

I think Joan Hickson is more like Agatha Christie's picture of whom Miss Marple is like. Geraldine McEwan's portrayal of Miss Marple seems very sneaky as if she's up to something and in her portrayal of the character she had an affair with a married man when she was young. What was the production team thinking?! Miss Marple was a woman who belonged to a generation where women had class, manners and high standards of behavior. The new Miss Marple doesn't seem to have those things.

[dillydee]

This version can't hold a candle to the one with Geraldine McEwan, Zoe Wannamaker, and Elaine Paige. That was the best of the McEwan Marples.

[MusicLoverBrian1]

@dillydee

WHAT?!!! How can the new version be the best? First off this version of A Murder Is Announced is longer, we get to know the characters better, the actors/actresses fit the roles better, scenes in the film are much better filmed, it's more closer to the book, and Joan Hickson is more like the Miss Marple that Agatha Christie wrote. I guess this version of the story is too slow paced, unlike the Geraldine McEwan version.

[jojoz45]

is the mirror cracked from side to side with joan hickson on you tube anywhere?

[anthonynewsome]

over 4 billion books sold in 103 languages,

[lupinswitch99]

I find that I love all Miss Marples it does not matter where they come form, and if you can not accspt change, hat you have something wrong with you.

[kingofderelicts]

Personally, I respect the new Marples for realizing and accepting they weren't going to out-Marple Hickson. McEwan's mischievous, chirping, twinkling magpie of a Marple was fun, and while the newest McKenzie is odd in her stout, grounded solidity, she's rather fun, too. They're interpretations pretty far removed from the character, but I think they're still based soundly within that character. Prismatic, but I think considered and enjoyable.

[GgreatWwhite]

I disliked the modern remakes with Geraldine McEwan too.

My interpretation of Miss Marple was that she was one of those "invisible" old ladies who are all around us, unnoticed - and that it was her very invisibility that made her such a good detective. By portraying Miss Marple as a kind of "groovy granny" who you could imagine going to nightclubs with her grandaughters, they have destroyed the central point of the character!

[Ridaeon]

Ruthorford was the ultimate Marple. If not the most accurate to Christie then at lest the most entertaining!

[savvy811]

@lilygreen12 and @JediMasterCheryl ...when miss marple is first introduced she is actually a lil mean and also nosy...she then becomes much nicer later on...I haven't seen the new ones..but i love Joan Hickson as Miss Marple!!

[Montywhittle]

Ah....takes me back to when I was a nipper, usually Sunday evenings in front of the box watching Miss Marple, pot of tea and sandwiches......log fire cracking away ah bisto...they were the days!

[Ayumura96]

saw this on PBS and had to google Agatha Christie up, hehehehe, she's cool

[swollower]

miss marples = margaret ruthorford. Sorry!

[lilygreen12]

i personally prefer the newer miss marples in particular geraldne mcewan i find this one sort of mean and unfriendly which if you read the booksisnt really her charqcter..

i guess ou like the one most which was the first you saw cos you get used to the character

[bronteteri]

LOL! opium. surely there wont' be opium.

[buiboyy]

My school and I went to go watch this play, done by the wonderful tri-school theater. They did a fantastic job in the costumes. If I could, i would watch them again.

[maxeric004]

wow...seemz like gr8 novel

[BAE206TRV]

Google DCI Stark for a new breed of Detective.

Agatha Christie would have been proud!

[pearlgirl121]

Luv the maid!!

[augustus963]

This is in my opinion the best Miss Marple mystery.

[bipolarbert]

The opening scene in the hotel was filmed at the Royal Hotel, Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire

[666psychoneurosis666]

Noooooo! Mitzi isn't young and pretty enough!

[lynfendleyfoster]

Sometimes I think I only watch these for the music and scenery. Seems a quieter time in the world, which of course it wasn't.. Still, those cobbled streets and grassy hillsides. (sigh)

[SickForest]

By the way... Bunner said "Lotty" instead of "Letty" at the end of the video... notice, very important... jem :P

[SickForest]

Poor miss Murgatroyd... I´ve read the book which, by the way, makes me have two doubts... but I feel I could ruin the hole story... But seriously I have them and I don´t know where to ask, except from here... Sorry my english, I´m learning.

[lindithium]

Seymourir did you really have to reveal the ending? Some of us have not yet read or seen this one.

[mju34]

HAS THERE BEEN A MURDER??

[fanofitsonalexachung]

agatha christie is amazing :)

[TheKidToddi]

yeah, you right.! She's hot maan :D

[swansong95]

these films have such peculiar music

[eclipsenote]

i read the book yesterday and it was great! :X:X:X i love agatha christie

[THEMIDAGR]

Joan Hickson - the best Miss Marple, she is amazing.!!

[LordWolf13Tiberius]

how do you play that game?

[arnpriorite]

Does anyone else have fantasies about Agatha Christie coming back from the dead and possessing them to write more novels? Is it just me?

[thecjclones]

i love this episode its my all time favourite can somebody please post the new murder at the vicarage with geraldine mcewan? thanks

[JediMasterCheryl]

No offense, please - but I personally dislike the newer Marples with McEwan for all the license they take with the character. I absolutely do NOT believe that Christie's Miss Marple would be conducting an affair with a married man as a very young girl (too Victorian!) or that the plots should be re-written to ALWAYS accommodate for homosexuals. If it wasn't needed in the book, why why why do they need to shove it down our throats in the new versions?

[Shinkansen91]

JediMasterCheryl - I wish I could several thumbs up for that comment, so see this reply as "several" - :)

[fireserpent26]

i totally agree with u!

[pipkin3]

I see what you mean about plot changes JedMasterCheryl, I heartily agree! But as there have been so many versions of Marple, perhaps they feel the need to do some things differently so viewers don't feel they watching the same things again and again?

Some of the title music makes me want to go "Blackad-der! Blackad-der!" Don't know why!

[misskaderzin]

@JediMasterCheryl I couldn't agree more about the plot changes, they always seem superfluous and never quite as good as the original... (in my opinion nemesis being the absolute worst!) at least they seem to leave the poirots alone!

I don't mind the gayness so much, in some instances it is actually implied in the original, definitely the hinch/murgatroyd thing forinstance, and I think several other similar 'special friendships' in other books such as 'hallowe'en party' etc.

[Ostaphigeli]

@JediMasterCheryl Completely agree!!!!!!

[spacecatmoonbeam]

@JediMasterCheryl why shouldn't the later adaptations "ALWAYS" accommodate homosexuals??? times and attitudes change. agatha christie wrote in a time when it was acceptable to use terms like nigger and wog, would you advocate staying faithful to those practices???

[JediMasterCheryl]

@spacecatmoonbeam answered your question above. I like my stories to remain truer to the books.

Get over it.

[spacecatmoonbeam]

@JediMasterCheryl sheeesh, don't get your knickers in such a twist is was only a comment. I think you need to take your own advice and "get over it".

[JediMasterCheryl]

Get over what? Inane comments to "put me in my place" or a perceived lack of acceptance?

Your initial comment was poorly phrased and appeared to be rather insulting of my intellect and opinion. Obviously a great many others who like Christie agree with my thinking. If it was "just a comment" perhaps you should think about how insulting and arrogant it might sound to insist that novels cherished by some insist in the newer versions of distorting the story with needless sexual innuendo.

[JediMasterCheryl]

And furthermore, I did NOT type out rude words to describe a minority of any kind.

I have many friends in the academic community of all races and orientations.

I wonder who gets their jollies from rudeness and perversion and who doesn't after reading such derogatory words in your initial post. Maybe that will explain to you why I defended myself rather vehemently. I don't appreciate cruelty and rude words - even to prove a point.

I am now through and will not respond to any further insults.

[spacecatmoonbeam]

@JediMasterCheryl well now you are just making me laugh out loud! I can't decide whether you are 13 or 14 years of age, what with all the big words you use!

[spacecatmoonbeam]

@JediMasterCheryl hehehehe! you are such fun! so easy to wind up! your younger, pretentious, liberal (i'm reading gay!) brother must have great fun with you!!

by 17 going on 46 i am assuming you mean you are biologically 46 but have all the angst, righteous indignation and moral outrage that only a teenager can muster.

you read too much into my initial comment, i wasn't insulting your intellect, nor was i trying to put you in your place, but what adaptation has intolerable homosexuality inc??

[MimiDove9]

@spacecatmoonbeam I prefer literary pieces to be respected, especially the original piece published by the author. I do not like remakes (rewrites) where idiots take liberties with others' work. I think the idiots should write their own works, instead of messing up fine pieces of literature. I can't even begin to imagine why the idiots think they can IMPROVE great authors' literature! It really disaappoints me. People do get to worked up about these comments. LOL

[spacecatmoonbeam]

@MimiDove9 sorry but i made those comments months ago, am bored of this now!! enjoy your movie!

[JediMasterCheryl]

Someone just asked me why I didn't think "that the plots should be re-written to ALWAYS accommodate for homosexuals."

Here's why: Because I DON'T CARE about what other people's sexual proclivities are! Hinting is enough for me. I have all kinds of friends but don't ask about what they do in private. The REAL irritation to me in the McEwan Marples was THE CHANGE OF MURDERER in "Body in the Library" simply to titillate the audience. Creative license is one thing but that was too much!!!

[ghughesarch]

@JediMasterCheryl Actually, the lesbian relationship between Hinch and Murgatroyd is very clearly signposted in the original novel, and it's clear enough in this adaptation. And quite a lot of Christie's novels have obviously gay characters, just couched in the discreet language of the time.

(I haven't seen the ITV one, as McEwan is a fine actress but an awful Miss Marple, so *if* in that version Hinch and Murgatroyd are seen in bed I'll take that comment back)

[Megaramckinnons]

@JediMasterCheryl That's actually straight out of the Christie canon. It may not have appeared often but it was a part of the novels.

[JediMasterCheryl]

@Megaramckinnons Which part? The part about Miss Marple having an affair with the married man or the gay/lesbian thing?

The thing that bothers me is the over-emphasis on the gay characters -not that they are there. They CHANGED the murdered in Body in the Library to make the relationship gay! That was NOT in the Christie canon.

[delgirl0101]

@JediMasterCheryl Won't someone please think of the children? How very dare they include homosexual characters in the new version, I shall be writing to my MP to stop this travesty right now!

[jackthayer]

@JediMasterCheryl although i am gay myself i must agree such genius work that have no indication of gay people should not altered to fit society some things are left untouched or it may spoil

[soccerlover1980]

@JediMasterCheryl The explanation is quite easy: Conservatism or reactionary spirit is not the matter of everyone today. Thus it appears that homosexuals do deserve playing a role also in her stories (btw they do it anyway, just remember Mr Satterthwait who obviously is characterized as a gay, in Murder in three acts, compare the book). If you do not feel comfortable with modern, libersl times, this is very, very, very sad for you and the 58 ignorants who gave you thumbs up.

[TheWeaselette]

@JediMasterCheryl I agree. Miss Marple is not very realistic, although I still like the new versions. I disagree with you on the LGBT thing, though, because, even though Hinch and Murgatroyde were blatantly sexual in the new version, their romance existed in this version as well, just much more subtle.

[lollipopfop]

@JediMasterCheryl I think including something more then a tired plot is good. After all, its not like most people would bother rereading an Agatha Christie book. I need something extra to be interested. There is a reason most people don't bother with her after they are adults. I did like her when I was a kid, of course. But now I want to be touched emotionally.

[MsSarjen]

@JediMasterCheryl You are entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't change the fact that Hinch and Murgatroyd are lesbians: they are, you know, even though it was very subtle in the book. Considering the time it was written, dame Agatha couldn't have written it more clearly.

[JediMasterCheryl]

@MsSarjen NO KIDDING! I mentioned that these new shows ALWAYS have to have a gay character or change a plot line which WASN'T WHAT THE AUTHOR STATED. DID CHRISTIE WRITE THAT MISS MARPLE HAD AN AFFAIR WITH A MARRIED MAN? The answer is NO! The MURDERER in 'Body in the Library' was the SON-IN-LAW - NOT the daughter in law becoming a lesbian!!! GET OFF MY BACK!

I'm NOT homophobic. I'm just irritated that the new versions take far too much license with the original plot lines. Good grief people!!!

[redrandt]

@JediMasterCheryl I understand that complaints about taking liberties with characters, and warping the plots, is what determined *this* Miss Marple be more true to the stories than previous versions. Yet again, nowadays, they're being re-written... :/

[katatinkacaroon]

@JediMasterCheryl Yes, well said.

[silverbud]

@JediMasterCheryl

Indeed, da*n p.c.

They are thinking about editing away cigarette smoking from old films! Ha!

[brexander1]

@JediMasterCheryl I agree wholeheartedly with your comment here, these recent versions i.e. of Marple (McEwen/McKenzie) being riddled with vicious tinkering of AC's original storyline are beyond redemption...they are tho' I might add beautifully acted, casted with top-notch actors, richly set scenes, quality music & period fashion etc but one has to ask themselves to whom are they meant to appeal (not AC fans!)? And why? Someone with too many $ & no writing talent of their own! But all for not!

[Enderschoice]

@JediMasterCheryl *said sarcastically* Oh, but this is the new millennium. You have to have the token gay, just like the 90s had the token black man and so on.

[el7jake]

@JediMasterCheryl Hey, I agree with you!  Dama Agatha wrote many other fine mysteries (I'm hoping to see Death Comes as the End as a movie/TV production some day). If the producers of PBS are so desperate to continue cranking out AC adaptations,why don't they do some of them and stay true to the books?

[silverbud]

@JediMasterCheryl

So true. I actually expect they will also cut out scenes where actors smoke. And ban from books words that are not p.c. any more. Brave New World...

[FlyGuyFRA]

@JediMasterCheryl

Well I have to say that I too appreciate it when they stick with the book and the story line... but in fact Agatha Christie accommodated for homosexual couples herself! It was NEVER made that clear or obvious but the sharp obeserver realized it! Miss Hinchcliff and Miss Murgatroyd are a good example. Of course it was never openly mentioned that they were a lesbian couple and could only be hinted, but it was certainly very obvious! And they were Agatha's characters!

[yaslylovesanime]

@JediMasterCheryl I wholeheartedly agree, the newer miss marples are quite dreadful indeed. If you haven't got the necessary inspiration to come up with your own story then at least have the decency to stick to the story another made effort of inventing. Thinking they could rewrite the story better than Agatha Christie herself, the arroganceof it!

[toddcharry]

@JediMasterCheryl Very good point, I agree. They have to push their own values on the public, its been happening for many years. To me there is only one Miss Marple, and that is Margaret Rutherford. The old movies with her as Miss Marple were far better.

[marcopisto]

Notice that at 7:18 Dora Bunner calls Letty "Lotty".

[MjoEm32]

Shhh!

[swansong95]

thats the point

[j1mf1eld]

@marcopisto It's part of the story ;)

[ryuzakikyo]

i think this is the most longest agatha christie's movie. Correct me if i'm wrong...

[chezkimo]

this is the newer more recent version right?

[mllebuttercup]

no, this is the older one

[StephenJSheridan]

[QueenieLizzie]

Helen Hayes is a good actress.

[Tallyhofox]

One of Matthew Solon's early works. He is such a cutie. Still is, as a matter of fact!

[bungeecork]

The last scene in clip 6/18 is surely the best of the entire show. Her Miss Marple was fantastic - and the too and fro between her and the inspector is just brilliant.

[Protectobot]

This is my FAVE' story/ep of Miss Marple, thus far. Hickson's the only actress I know (so far) that played Miss Marple, and I couldn't imagine anyone making her seem more compelling. If other versions did movie adaptations of Christie's novels that Joan Hickson didn't have the time to do, then I'll want to watch ALL of them (I'll read the books later, too!). I also enjoy Slack in the Hickson version of the stories; haha!

[nemo1620]

Powerstock in Devon was used as the filming location for "Chipping Cleghorn".

[ILoveTeaDogs]

Thank you very much for posting! I am a big fan of mysteries (esp. Ms. Christie's works & Basil Rathbone's version Sherlock Holmes). I still prefer Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple but I enjoy this version of the story as Miss Murgatroyd is played by the amazing Joan Sims (who never gets as much attention as I would like for her talent).

[FilmTraum8]

This actress is my favorite Miss Marple!

Thanks for posting all this fantastic videos!

[LottLottie]

Thank you very much for these Agatha Christie uploads!
