Film: Miss Marple: The Murder at the Vicarage
In 1946, Agatha Christie sent a congratulatory note to an actress with a minor role in one of her West End plays. She added, 'hope one day you will play Miss Marple.' Joan Hickson (above, with David Horovitch, left, and Ian Brimble) fulfils Christie's wish by portraying Miss Marple in seven highly-acclaimed films, shown again in honour of the centenary of the grande dame of crime writers. 8.00pm or 9.20pm BBC1
Plus: playwright Arthur Miller discusses his life and work in Omnibus (8.45pm BBC2), which is followed by Theatre Night: All My Sons (10.00pm BBC2) - a new adaptation of his classic drama of wartime tragedy.
