Marple: The Murder at the Vicarage (2004)
Episode 2, Season 1
Think this is wonderful

Having adored Margaret Rutherford and loathed Joan Hickson -- "cold fish" doesn't begin to describe her -- I was delighted to see Geraldine McEwen tackle Miss Marple and, astoundingly, humanize her. McEwen was, of course, the ultimate Mrs. Proudie in the adaptation of Anthony Trollope's novels "The Warden" and "Barchester Towers" that aired some years back, just as she was the ultimate Lucia in "Mapp & Lucia" with Prunella Scales. At this point I have only seen the first episode of "Murder at the Vicarage" but I am already caught up in its recreation of the ideal English village, St. Mary Mead. Tim McInnerny and Janet McTeer are especially good.
