Ms McKenzie is so sweet, but my, has she suddenly aged. It seems only yesterday she starred in Side by Side by Sondheim or was a beautiful Sally in Follies. Oh well, I guess it's just me getting old, wanting everything to stay as it was.
I think that Julia McKenzie might be the definitive Miss Marple from what I know of the books. I imagine that Miss Marple would look very much like Julia and would have her demeanour as well. However, I prefer the episodes with Geraldine McEwan as the scripts and the overall casts seem to be more colourful and interesting that the McKenzie ones
@susuemikado YES! Totally agree with you.....I think when Julie joined they changed the setting and style of Marple to being a lot duller and darker. The Gereldine ones were waaaaay more colourful, exciting and dramatic. In my opinion Gereldine was MUCH BETTER than Julie. When Julie sits in a room you don't even notice her amoungst the other characters....she has no presence which Gereldine did. And I find that Julie is TOO NICE, and drippy wheras Gereldine had a big spark!! Miss Gereldine.
i LOVE Miss Marple. Poirots too annoying and arrogant. I love how everyone usually patronises Marple and when they eventually let her speak she bowls em all over by solving the case!!! 4.50 from paddinton is my favourite.
She's so cute. I first saw her as Mrs. Forrester in Cranford, so I was really happy to hear that she had been chosen to replace Geraldine McEwan (my favorite). :)
I quite enjoyed this Miss Marple, although I missed Geraldine McEwan's more spunky take on the character. Ms McKenzie played the role well, she just didn't seem as sardonic/ironic as Ms McEwan, or even oh gosh what's her name that Agatha Christie herself suggested as Jane Marple, she played her in the 80's white hair. oh I HATE when I forget a name like that. I'll remember AFTER I hit "post".LoL!
I love Poirot and Marple! Agatha Christie is just an amazing writer! I love herbooks and Julia McKenzie makes the perfect Miss Marple!

^^ all Marples have their own style, and I like all of them: Joan Hickson, Geraldine McEwan and Julia McKenzie :)

Julia's fine, but Joan Hickson's my favourite and I love David Suchet as Poirot.

Julia Mckenzie comes across as being a really nice lady. Her potrayal of Miss Marple is excelllent. Her and Geraldine Mcewan are the best ones.

Julia McKenzie comes very close to my personal imagination of Miss Marple. She played her very well in 'pocketful of rye'.
