Disappointing Christie

I have to say I'm disappointed in the lastest Miss Marple adaptations on Mystery!. The period is okay and the actors are pretty good (although Geraldine McEwan isn't old enough for the part), but the changes they made to the plots are pretty bad.

Giving Miss Marple a past with a married lover in one episde is probably the worst plot change I've seen so far; the changes they made in A Murder is Announced were just irritating in comparison (conflating two characters, with the effect of eliminating one of the better characters in the book).
