Anachronisms: During one of the flashbacks of the Funnybones performances, Edith plays a famous tune called "Sabre Dance" on the xylophone. However this would be impossible since the song was not composed until the 1940's and the flashbacks are said to be in 1934. moreQuotes:

I could not agree more with JonesCW2 from the UK in his/her assessment of the new Miss Marple. I was so befuddled watching it last night. I wondered: Was the one I saw with the excellent Joan Hickson more accurate or this one? I hoped it was the first, and I see now I was right. There were so many changes I questioned my own memory! As JonesCW2 writes, the Hickson version was SO good, I can't imagine why they bothered to re-make it at all! (Not unlike how the more recent versions of Jane Austen on TV are inferior to ones produced in the 1980s and early '90s.)
The BBC usually does a fine job, but this new series of Marple is not up to their usual standard. Geraldine McEwan is wasted, basically.
I guess this teaches us all how important it is to read the books over again to keep ourselves fresh on all the details. It might not be a bad idea to write to the producers and scold them for fiddling with the plot and characters so badly!
