The character created by Agatha Christie, one of the most successful of the writer, is now proposed by La7

When one dies cultured person we discover some television passages (of which, moreover, they had never made a secret). Umberto Eco he loved Lieutenant Colombo; Carlo Fruttero loved television detectives like Father Brown or Poirot (in the book “The truth about the case D.” F&L are helped by the greatest investigators of every time and country); Pietro Citati he was a big fan of Lieutenant Colombo: “I don’t know what the reason for my indomitable passion is. Only Miss Marple – with her own flowered capshis teas, his conversations, the sudden flashes of criminal intelligence – it fascinates me up to this point ». Yeah, Miss Marple, one of the more successful characters of the writer Agatha Christie
(the other is the Belgian investigator Hercule Poirotwith a voluminous slicked-back mustache), is revived now by La7. As always, the appearances are deceiving: even in a world that appears calm and respectable, it hides the crime.

Despite the fragile aspectthe crafty blue-eyed Miss Marple, is an expert on criminology which alternates the investigative activity to the knit knitting. “Observer of human nature”, as she defines herself, Jane Marple, “a little old lady”, moves in the charming St. Mary Mead, small town apparently quiet and normal, actually a den of passions and hidden vendettas. One of the successes of the series («this very British television») is due to the fact that the hero (although the face has changed over the years) remains a fixed character and, with minimal variations, it repeats methodically the same events. The viewer knows that in the end Miss Marple will still have the better of the crime and she can thus indulge herself details of the newspaper. Fruttero said that Citati was a chronic apodictic. Let’s imagine the scene. Fruttero has just seen an episode of Miss Marple recommended to him bycritical friend: “She’s beautiful, you were right.” Cited: “But I’m always right.”
