Miss Marple

Miss Jane Marple doesn’t look like your average detective. Quite frankly, she doesn’t look like a detective at all. But looks can be deceiving... For a woman who has spent her life in the small village of St Mary Mead, Miss Marple is surprisingly worldly. But as she often points out she has had every opportunity to observe human nature.

Did you know?

Joan Hickson received two BAFTA nominations for her Miss Marple, but had the even greater honour of being written to by Agatha Christie, long before she was old enough to take on the role of Marple. Christie had seen her performance in a stage version of Appointment with Death and wrote, “I hope one day you will play my dear Miss Marple”.
