Proper, demure, sharp as a tack, Agatha Christie’s spinster sleuth is brilliantly portrayed by Geraldine McEwan (Series 13) and Julia McKenzie (Series 4). Each dons the trademark tweeds as if they were made for her; each is surrounded by lavish post-WWII period detail and stellar supporting casts.
To find inspiration and flee the pressures of fame, Dame Agatha retreated to Greenway, her 30- acre Georgian garden in Devon. Pam Ferris (Rosemary & Thyme) leads a private tour of its secluded paths, sumptuous gardens, and untamed woods. Interviews with experts including author P.D. James illuminate Christie’s inner character. Approx. 66 min. on 1 DVD.
