Marple: Murder Is Easy (2009 Hettie Macdonald)

I'm sorry to say, another poorly directed episode. Hettie Macdonald thinks it's a good idea to obscure as many shots as possible with distracting foreground objects, and throws in several images of nature that seem to be there just for padding and to look pretty.

However we at least have Benedict Cumberbatch to make up for it, one of those actors who just radiates presence. Plus Shirley Henderson, Steve Pemberton, Jemma Redgrave, Sylvia Syms (who was not in A Canterbury Tale, that was Sheila Sim), Anna Chancellor, James Lance, Hugo Speer, David Haig, Russell Tovey.
