Comfort TV

Miss Marple. The format is predictable, even if the plot isn’t. Truly comforting.

I think Joan Hickson was the best Miss Marple, I know Agatha Chrisite told her she'd be a good Miss Marple when she was old enough. Likewise I think Jeremy Brett was the best Sherlock Holmes, I'm not counting the Benedict Cumberbatch one as it was a whole new retelling.

Definitely! She portrayed Miss Marple as I imagine she should be. 

Margaret Rutherford was good but not at all like Miss Marple in the books.

I'm really intrigued by this now too!

I don’t think it’s available to stream in the UK or Ireland at the moment but I’ll keep a look out. It sounds like the sort of thing that would be a good antidote to the football bombardment of our screens. 

I thought Jeeves and Wooster was really well done and absolutley worth watching, its just so silly and very close to the books, I think all of the casting was good and Stephen Fry managed to convey so much of Jeeve's opinions with a twitch of the nose or eyebrow. Another thing we get to hear is Hugh Laurie's brilliance at playing the piano in some episodes.
