Apologies,I know this should be in TV,but thought it might get more answers here.
Also apologies if someone else has asked this already.
We havve had(up to date) two episodes of the new Miss Marple with Julia McKenzie.
"A Pocketful of Rye" & "Murder is Easy".
Imagine my surprise on looking at next week's Radio Times (Sunday) to see it replaced (mainly) by Doc Martin with Alec Clunes!
According to the Radio Times this is the first of eight episodes,so where has Miss Marple gone,and more to the point when will she return.
Anyone know?

In my TV magazine it say Sunday's was 2 of 4 and the other 2 will be shown later in the year. Unusual for them to break them up this way.

Thanks dot,
What ann odd way to do things.
Now we will have to wait (probably) for Doc Martin to finish (8 weeks) before we see the other two!

Oh dear ummmm.
Was it THAT bad! LOL?

Thanks Pentalpha8,
That makes it (somewhat) clarer.I still think it's an odd way of showing what was trumpeted from the rooftops as a great new "SERIES".
How you can call 2 episodes shown at internittent intervals a series,I don't know.
Also how is it that the US gets it before we do.
Ah well we live and learn.

Mr Veritas

Question Author

LOL.Possibly ELVIS.
He was certainly (sadly) a better actor than his son!

ummmm

No....he agreed that you are/were the image of a freind of ours.
