Marple: By The Pricking of My Thumbs (2006 Peter Medak)

Written by Stewart Harcourt, Geraldine McEwan is joined by Greta Scacchi, a rather hammy Anthony Andrews, June Whitfield, Claire Bloom, Steven Berkoff and Josie Lawrence. About the disappearance of a baby 22 years before, and a grown up doll house in the woods, rather a few fairy tale nuances find their way out before the end.

I love that inquisitive, gimlet look of her Marple, like a dog with a super keen sense of smell.
