"Agatha Christie's Miss Marple: The Complete Collection" is wonderful! Beautifully remastered, these are the very best adaptations of the Miss Marple stories. The later series, although featuring good performances, seriously strayed from the books, but these are true to Christie's works. In Joan Hickson we find the definitive Miss Marple, exactly as she is portrayed in the original stories. Splendidly filmed with attention to detail (the Marple stories take place in post WWII England, around the 1950s) these episodes are a delight. Even after you know "whodunit", you'll still enjoy watching these again and again!

This is an excellent rendition of Christie's Miss Marple... Well acted and true to the books. But the quality control of the disc manufacturer must be poor, because the discs are scratched and they skip. I haven't watched them all yet but there are scratches on more discs than not.

Am very happy with this purchase. The DVDs are good quality, have good sound and are a great value. I am also reading the Miss Marple books, so it’s been fun comparing the details of Agatha Christie’s original stories with the video productions. Joan Hickson is absolutely my favorite portrayer of Miss Marple, and the supporting cast of characters in the videos is likewise excellent. Highly recommend!

Agatha Christie is, without a doubt, in my opinion, the most interesting and prolific Crime Story Arthur of them all. This particular collection( Miss Marple the complete collection/ Joan Hickson) contains all 12 Miss Marple Adventures written by Miss Christy herself. The media itself has been remastered so when you actually get into Miss hickson's performance there are no distractions. The colors come across as balanced as they should be. It's the same with the sound; there are no sudden volume increases/ decreases. Miss hickson's performance is as effortless as could be. She doesn't seem to be acting at all. It's incredible to watch her Glide from scene to scene. Anybody interested in Agatha Christie should get this DVD set. I've had no trouble with the discs not playing. This set is highly recommended.Read full review

I was a bit concerned about quality after reading some reviews of other BBC DVD’s, from other sellers, especially as the original (1980’s) production quality of this show wasn’t the best. Plus, it was a gift for a rabid Agatha Christie fan who is very opinionated about every tv adaptation. There was no need to worry! The quality is great, and the gift was a great success. Joan Hickson is our favorite Miss Marple of all time and these episodes are not currently available on streaming services so this was a good find.
