![]() ![]() I was looking forward to seeing this ‘Miss Marple’ TV adaptation, especially as Peter Davison guest starred in it. When Miss Marple gets involved, she’s reminded of the nursery rhyme ‘Sing a Song of Sixpence’ to solve it. But soon a few more people get killed like flies. Rex happened to be a tyrant within his family. ![]() However, nobody seems to be troubled by it all. It seems that he was poisoned and had ‘a pocketful of rye’ in his pocket. In this story, a wealthy banker named Rex Fortescue collapses in his office. I don’t recall the ITV version of the story much to compare it to the BBC version, but I do recall there was a witchcraft scene in it. ‘A Pocketful of Rye’ was shown on the 7th and the 8th of March 1985. This is presented as a 2 x 50 minute episode story and based on the original 1953 novel by Agatha Christie. ![]() The fourth story in the ‘Miss Marple’ series starring Joan Hickson is ‘A Pocketful of Rye’. Please feel free to comment on my review.Ī ‘Sing a Song of Sixpence’ Murder with Joan Hickson’s Marple ![]()
