Miss Marple (TV series) Inspector Craddock presents another inconsistency in the series. The character is clearly unknown to Miss Marple in "A Murder is Announced" but in his second appearance in "The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side", Craddock is Miss Marple's nephew. All of the episodes take place in the 1950's. "The Murder at the Vicarage" is set in 1954, according to a sign about money being raised for the church fund. This takes place after the events of "The Body in the Library", which Miss Marple relates briefly when describing how she first came across Inspector Slack. "Nemesis" is set in 1955

Geraldine McEwan was nominated for a Satellite Award in 2005 for her role as Miss Marple in Series 1. The first series was also nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in 2005. "Agatha Christie's Marple"
