No - Miss Marple a thief? 8-o I had noticed. ("That Mrs Christie didn't write enough Marple books, but don't worry - we can fix that... :lol:)
Don't worry, I know. Given my childhood scarring by the terrifying (but accurate) BBC versions, I quite enjoy the ITV lite ones. As long as I can go back and read the proper version afterwards. I must have missed the oner where they changed the murderer, but Card on the Table still stands out as the worst example of that because the whole point of it is it's supposed to be a psychological problem about the four suspects. I mean... *bangs head*
I am shallow enough to quite enjoy all the pretty and the guest stars, the sudden, slightly surprsiing romances, everybody being randomly gay, and what have you. As long as they don't change the murderer. I thought A Pocketful of Rye was disappointingly accurate. I'd been hoping the thief lady and the inspector would run off together, which would have made up for some of the other solecisms.
