Miss Marple - They Do It With Mirrors (part1/10)

[Mr1958louief]

Joan Hickson, and Joan Collins. This has to be a good Episode!!

[MARVIA35]

HA! @5:30 the train announcer says, "this is the 4:50 from Paddington". i just loved that 1 XXD

[GiniaKat]

I absolutely adore Joan Hickson, she's *the* Marple for me. But Julia McKenzie is really growing on me...

[MissJessyeNorman]

@GiniaKat I agree, except that Margaret Rutherford still stands as #1 for me, lol. With Joan Hickson as a close second, then Julia Mckenzie... =)

[GiniaKat]

@MissJessyeNorman I love Margaret Rutherford - but her Miss Marple is not at all like Agatha Christie's. Joan Hickson was almost exactly like I'd imagined MM from reading the books.

[calihartley2010]

How strange the station master mentions 4:50 from Paddington at 5:31. That was the title of one of AG's novels.

Thank you for posting this series in you tube.

I've read the book and it's quite different from the film so far. Where's pippa? Why is mildred so young?? I remember that Lewis picks up Marple at the station, doesn't he? And then comes Gina. It's all messed up! D:

[Soofshaa]

@Soofshaa or was it Lawrence? Now I'm confused!!

[MissJessyeNorman]

@Soofshaa With these new productions they often stray a great deal from the original plot. Even changing the murderer.

I imagine they think audiences don't want to see the same story over again. I don't agree, but alas, I still enjoy these. Just not as much as the ones that stay faithful to Agatha's books.

I've seen Sarah Smart (Mildred) in three TV shows lately: Echoes of the Dead, the latest Midsomer Murders episode; Mrs. McGinty's Dead (Poirot, 2008 episode), and now this. She's a little wisp of a thing, and quite a good actress, I think. According to IMDb, her great, great, great, great, great, great grandmother was the 16th century Irish pirate Grace O'Malley, known as the 'mother of all rebellions'. Hmmm, interesting.

[lynfendleyfoster]

Julia McKenzie is doing a fine job as Marple, I think. Margaret Rutherford was the funny JM. Angela Landsbury, Lord love her, had some strange make-up going on. Helen Hayes wasn't bad, such a seasoned actress. Joan Hickson is the Marple I see in my mind when I'm reading the books, and she is, to me, the ultimate JM. Then came Geraldine McEwan, whom I truly love, and I thought she added quite a sparkle to the character. And now Julia, who is growing on me. I love them all; thanks for uploading.

[calihartley2010]

@lynfendleyfoster Yes I am with you. I agree all these women are a class of their own and they epitomize Ms. Jane Marple in their own way. I wish people realised that instead of bashing the actresses.

[MissKaidoz]

@lynfendleyfoster I agree!!!

[pn0427]

Stephen's a poor man's Jake Gyllenhal :P

[poshmum]

Joan Collins is fab... Thanks for the post!!!

[avpgm]

i hope its not the daughter, i mean the woman's real daughter. not the adopted one.

[stupidintellect90]

Oh my!!!!!!!!...Carrie Louise's husband played in Sharpe....I forgot his characters name but I'm happy that he's brought an essence of Sean Bean into this. I remember him because I used to think he looked a little like Eric Cantona.

[SineeZhyguli]

Detektiv. Vsem boyatsa.

[amazingmazie11]

Prime Minister Harriet Jones!

[saidebibi]

OMG!!! Joan Collins !!!!

[MrWaddlez]

Oh no. The daughter was Pippa, not Gina. Gina was Pippa's daughter, and Mildred was Gina's aunt. -.- Film adaptions... -sigh-

[SchaumbadSarah]

pippa isn't mentioned, mildred's too young, same as carrie louise.. and what's wrong with lewis?? o.O what a pitty..

[dominicpradetto]

i find it funny that Collins is 8 years older than Mckenzie, but she looks 20 years younger. haha

[petie71]

What's with Joan Collins's accent? Lol. At one moment it's some form of North American and then British the next moment.

[firebrandsgirl]

@petie71 that would be okay becuase the character is Britsh but moved to North America

[CanadianKelley]

@petie71

She is doing a good impression of a mid-Atlantic accent. Unlike the phoney Madonna blending of U.S./ English accents...Joan Collins knows what she is doing.

[HanitpalSingh]

how the fuck do u describe someone in a coat and hat "Wicked"???

[Sinnerific]

This looks like Hogwarts dining area! lol

[Shanniquitie]

@Sinnerific the "Hogwarts" dining area is actually in Oxford University, England.

[jackolantyrn356]

Theres about three diffrent miss marples arnt there? lol So many diffrent ones

[tumadoireacht]

@jackolantyrn356 they all wear hats,say "dear" and wear tweed underwear !

[jackolantyrn356]

@tumadoireacht hahahaha Got that right mate though Not so sure bout the under ware...bit odd you know that mate

[dominicpradetto]

@jackolantyrn356 Joan Hickson(84-92), but Margaret Rutherford played Miss Marple in the first 'film,' and oddly enough hickson was a cook in that film. Angela Lansbury did one movie as well but then went on to Murder, She Wrote. Followed by Geraldine McEwan (2004-08). Finally Julia McKenzie (2009-present.). so a total of 5, even though 3 of them only had one film.

[jackolantyrn356]

@dominicpradetto Ah! I see got it! Thanks mate! Haha I had trouble remembering who was who! Thanks

[RanziR]

daaaamn joan collins looks ollllld here :s

[dustandflies]

@RanziR Yes, Joan does look old, but would you believe she's in her late 70s?!! Not too shabby, considering...

[RobbieTyler1]

@dustandflies i'd do her.....
