Marple: Sleeping Murder (2006)
Season 2, Episode 1
1/10
Dire
6 February 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I do not know what WGBH and the estate of Agatha Christie were doing when they put their names to this rubbish.

Somehow the makers have contrived to take the bare bones of the Miss Marple story and overlay that with a jewel robbery, an Indian traffic accident and a love story. Add into the pot the seaside entertainment troupe The Funnybones and stir and you end up with a real stinker.

The only good points about this show were the central performances of Sophia Myles and Aidan McArdle and the flashback sequences with Anna-Louise Plowman.

If you want to see a decent version of Sleeping Murder then catch the Joan Hickson version ( on rerun or on DVD )
