Marple: The Blue Geranium (2010 David Moore)

Originally a 1932 short story part of the collection The Thirteen Problems - the earliest Miss Marple stories. What can I say? She was a damned ingenious lady, here turning the flowers on the wallpaper a different colour (blue). Screenwriter Stewart Harcourt then responsible for all the other goings on, involving Julia Mackenzie, Sharon Small, Toby Stephens, Claudie Blakley, Joanna Page, Claire Rushbrook, Kevin McNally (the usual dismissive detective), Donald Sinden, David Calder.

Peter Greenhalgh shot it and there's another old Bedford bus which arrives in (some say) Hambleden village, where it was allegedly filmed. Indeed. Filming location bigger mystery than wallpaper.
