"Hello my name is Bond, James Bond"
23 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Miss Marple is transplanted well beyond her safety zone, of the tranquil rural backwaters in the Shires of St. Mary Mead.

Not only that she is bereft of any of her normal travelling companions, and she is forced to have to do all of the leg work herself.

Believe it or not Miss Marple ends up at a lecture with non other than Ian Fleming, who actually tells her that he can't think of a name for his hero. Then a speaker announced himself as James Bond, and said "Hello my name is Bond James Bond.

This story relies on a sort of staple western notions, of the Caribbean that of Voodoo. With the twist of someone who is supposed to be a priest Canon Prescott, apparently resorting to dabbling in the practice himself.

This is the first Miss Marple I have seen with Julia Mackenzie, as the eponymous female sleuth.

I will need to view more episodes of her interpretations before I can have, any real chance to form a proper appraisal of her performance in the role.

Let alone to give me any chance, of comparing her depiction with any other actress.
