I truly enjoyed Julia McKenzie's first role as Miss Marple! Not only does she carry the role very well, but the story is true to Agatha Christie's book, down to the very end. I've had difficulty accepting the changes to Christie's works, some of them in this new series being absolutely dreadful. But I've come to terms with it and have enjoyed most of them. If they must make such radical changes to Christie's stories, I hope they at least keep good actors like McKenzie around. With "Pocketful of Rye," there were more views of the English countryside and less garish colors and background music as in the past. These are very good improvements indeed.
