Marple: The Body In The Library (2004 Andy Wilson)

What on earth is the body of an unknown blonde doing in Joanna Lumley's library? Agatha Christie's 1942 novel is fairly faithfully adapted, and it's another ingenious tale. Geraldine McEwan stars in the first of the ITV series, written by Kevin Elyot.

James Fox, Ian Richardson, Tara Fitzgerald, Florence Hoath, Simon Callow, Ben Miller, Emma Cooke, Jack Davenport, David Walliams.

Eastbourne and the Grand Hotel provide the Victorian seafront setting (but not Oh, What A Lovely War! - that was Brighton), and Dorney Court is the Tudor manor house.

Ben Miller decides which bottle of gin to drink first


Noticed the dancer had a Gun Crazy poster on her wall (it's set in 1951).
