Miss Marple


I mean the original one, with Joan Hickson. I've been watching the series for a month or two now and I enjoy it tremendously! The reason for my enthusiasm is the way England is portrayed in the series. Especially the English countryside: the villages with numerous cottages and thatched houses, hedges, paths and gardens, full of nice people. And there's always something interesting going on, with the murders and all that. Of course, there are also the good old English manners and courtesy, perfectly displayed in Miss Marple's behaviour. It's one of the few series that actually "transfers" you to the scene, because you get so absorbed in the story. Whenever I watch it, I wish I lived there and then!
