i be sorry that some people can not find the new artistic interpretation of the miss marple series refreshing . i have always enjoy the novel of agatha christie as well a most of the movie or television production base on her work . but i especially enjoy the new miss marple portray by geraldine mcewan . i find them new and fresh and proof that these story and though base in a bygone era and can be reinterpret in a new age and with a bit more color . i find ms. mcewan portrayal of the age sleuth to be above reproach and i give her top mark . how boring life would be if we do not have the freedom to re interpret or re invent . but i suppose those that oppose this new series also do not appreciate kiss me kate a it wasn not the original shakespeare and or the miniseries pride and prejudice because new aspect to old story have be add .
