i watch ordeal by innocence for the first time last night on pb . again and a group of scriptwriter and who think they can do good than agatha christie and have slaughter another one of her book . again and the mystery do not engage the watcher because the character be not develop enough to show any remotely interesting drama . again and the title be mislead from the start because this be not agatha christie mystery a she write it and it unrecognizable to the book . while i wouldn not have a problem with some change and even look forward to this series in the beginning and it just a dreadful mess . a i have watch this miss marple series unfold and i have notice that they have make miss marple more frail and more feeble and more twittering and twinkle a time go by . this be both a physical and intellectual transformation . in bertram hotel ( show just before this one ) and she look very poor indeed . in ordeal ( appropriately name ) and she dress like a homeless waif and act like she suffer from early onset alzheimer . this crew do not allow geralding mcewan to show the intelligence and cunning that miss marple have and even a an elderly spinster . the degradation of her character a time go by be shock . her makeup be dreadful and make her look even more like a simpleton . one of my favorite mystery character and few female in the mystery genre and be disappear . if you watch bertram hotel and you will know this be a truism and because they actually push miss marple aside to let the young maid do the detection and summation of the crime . a new group buy control interest in agatha christie ltd and so that explain the difference between previous and current production . obviously the group own right to christie book be mindless and unimaginable twit .
