themeletorSo, my PBS station is airing the Miss Marple - The Body in the Library in both parts from 8:00pm to 10:00pm Central this Thursday, June 16.
Is yours?
This is some of what Jack Davenport says about his role (snagged from the PBS website, where you can find all of it):
The problem is they don't really know what's going on, but won't admit it; both are determined to outwit the other. [...] it is of course Miss Marple who makes the first breakthrough in the investigation... which frankly puts both officers very much in their place. Having said that, it's fun to play a character that doesn't seem to have a clue! {again?}
[...] There's also the fact that he doesn't relish his authority being undermined by an old lady.
Harper really enjoys winding Melchett up, but who wouldn't? Any man who turns up in full regimental dress deserves to have his leg pulled. {Just, Yes.}
[...] Putting on the suit immediately helped me adjust to the period -- and what a cool suit I had! There's something very innocent about it too. I think it's reminiscent of the time when we were a lot gentler to each other.
[...]As to the appeal of Agatha Christie, I think it's probably to do with familiarity. There's something quite comforting about the people and places and about where and how the stories are set. She's an institution, and everyone loves an institution -- long live Agatha Christie!'
Indeed.

Indeed.
