For viewers in the UK there's another new case for Agatha Christie's famous amateur sleuth, Miss Marple tonight on ITV.
The new series features Silksoundbooks star audio book reader Julia McKenzie in the title role, taking over from
Geraldine McEwan who played the part in the last series and
Joan Hickson who portrayed the amateur detective in the BBC's adaptations of the Eighties and Nineties.
'We're all different in our own ways' said Julia,
'and it's important to note Agatha Christie wrote MIss Marple's character in two ways, too. At first, she was very much as Geraldine was playing her; frail, Victorian, rather fussy and quirky. She picked up the character again 10 years later and she was a little different - tweedier, sturdier, kinder.''It'll might be hard on the viewers to accept another actress in the role, but hopefully it won't take too many episodes to get to know me and come along my path.'Well, if last weeks episode is anything to go by, all of us here at Silksoundbooks are very happy with Julia's Miss Marple - it's a show not to be missed.
And talking of not to be missed - Julia's audiobooks of the
Lewis Carroll classic stories
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the follow up
Through The Looking Glass and What Alice Found There are available to download from Silksoundbooks.
