Sep 17, 2009
Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear! They're at it again!! My optimism after last week's 'Marple' episode was misplaced. 'Murder is Easy' was a bitter disappoinment and I was hard pressed to stay with it 'til the end.
Well, putting aside the small matter that Miss Marple DOES NOT FEATURE in 'Murder is Easy,' what a diabolical liberty they took with the plot! It bore no resemblence whatsoever to the tale that Agatha Christie penned, leaving out completely the character who is the main catalyst for the murders, and the motive being as far away from the original as it's possible to get. The people who have never read Agatha Christie's original work are being completely misled - what we saw on Sunday evening is NOT an Agatha Christie story. It is a blatant cashing in on the guaranteed appeal of an Agatha Christie title - keeping a few of the character names (but rarely their personalities as written) and then proceeding to tell a completely different story.
I just cannot understand how Mathew Prichard can allow his grandmother's work to be so misrepresented? He cannot possibly think that the story that unfolded so unconvincingly on our screens last Sunday was better than the one she wrote? Is the idea to make her work 'more suitable for a modern audience?' If so, this must mean that the programme makers consider that the remorseless revenge of a woman scorned is far too tame and that 'a modern audience' will not be satisfied with anything less than illegal abortion and rape. Rubbish - and patronising, insulting rubbish at that.
I understand the next offering is 'Why Didn't They Ask Evans?' Again, THIS IS NOT A MISS MARPLE STORY. I believe ITV 3 is to show a 1981 version of 'Why Didn't They ask Evans?' next weekend, and I recommend the visitors to this website to watch this rather than, or certainly as well as, the Julia Mckenzie version (about which I now have grave forebodings.) It is largely faithful to the story and stars Francesca Annis and James Warwick, who went on to star as Tommy and Tuppence Beresford in the 'Partners in Crime' series.
Julia McKenzie continues to do ok (the hat was much better this week!) but I find it impossible to judge her fairly as I am made so indignant by the lack of respect being shown to the work of an exceptional writer.
Apparently, the 'Marple' series is losing out in the ratings to 'Waking the Dead' on the BBC - that could be because legions of true Agatha Christie fans refuse to watch.
I urge my visitors, as I always do, to READ THE BOOK.
