The 1984–1992 BBC television series Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple, starring Joan Hickson, faithfully adapts all 12 of Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple novels. Each episode is a standalone adaptation, closely following the original stories.
Hollywood comes to St. Mary Mead when faded movie star Marina Gregg buys Gossington Hall (the home of the Bantrys in The Body in the Library) and stars in a film being shot at a nearby studio. But when she narrowly escapes an attempt on her life and a local woman dies instead, followed by a later death, Miss Marple has to sift through the facts about Gregg's past to uncover a tragedy.
