That Geraldine McEwan is to make no more Marple (whatever happened to the Miss?) episodes is the big news story of the day it would appear (OK Peter Hain has just resigned tee hee so perhaps not), but great debate has arisen about the next actress to play her with rumours of the Christie estate going for a 'younger' version. The mind boggles.
The only thing that would reconcile me to a future Miss Marple series, where I hope the storylines will not be mucked about, identity of the murderer will not be changed and characters from other Christie novels do not appear (Tommy and Tuppence anyone?), is the fact that the names of two wonderful Dames, ie Atkins and Dench are being mentioned.
Judi Dench as Miss Marple - now how stunning would that be?

I still think Joan Hickson is the only one though.
