Marple: At Bertram's Hotel (2007 Dan Zeff)

Or Polesden Lacey, to be more precise, the exterior being the Oriental Club in Stratford Place, London.

Tom MacRae's screenplay extends Agatha's 1965 novel in two distinct ways. He ingeniously introduces a plot about Nazi loot being sold through the hotel, and adds a perceptive chambermaid (Martine McCutcheon) who helps Marple (Geraldine McEwan) and falls for investigating detective Stephen Mangan. It makes it one of the best in the series.

With Vincent Regan, Mark Heap, Emily Beecham, Charles Kay, Ed Stoppard, Nicholas Burns, Mica Paris, Francesca Annis, Polly Walker, Danny Webb.
