So it seems that Disney want Jennifer Garner to play Miss Marple.
I am probably in a minority but isn't she much too young for the part?
Forgive me if I am wrong but I always thought character of Miss Marple was that of an older lady who wore
tweed suits and was a loveable, eccentric.

I am sure Agatha Christie always meant the part to be played by the likes of Joan Hickson and Margaret
Rutherford.

What do others think?

I have no doubt she is a fine actress and by the way she is not daughter of James Garner.
Her parents are a Bill and Pat Garner.
Mother worked as an English Teacher and her Dad as a Chemical Engineer.

:oops:
Apologies all round.
I feel bad right now when I see the way I worded that post.
Just got a bit carried away with looking stuff up on Google as the curiosity was just too much for me.

Well of course if I were a free agent but believe me I'm hard work.
Surprised the OH has put up with me all these years as I am a terrible cook and hopeless with technology.

I went to see Toots and the Maytals at the O2 last week. The ticket said 7.00pm but Toots didn't appear until 9.45 and there were three support bands though none were mentioned on the ticket.
If I go to the theatre, not only will the ticket state the start time but the play will start at said time. The same applies to all other gigs/shows/events that I've been to this year, so why not here?
At my age - I'm a pensioner you know - I can't be standing about all night, my knees are going.
Durachdan,

Eddy,

PS I've just read the information on the back of the ticket, it says "Keep in a cool place." I had mine in a 4CD box-set of Lee Perry dubs.

While I've enjoyed laughing at North Koreans "crying" at the death of the Great Leader, I hope I'm not alone in seeing a " look at them, we'd never behave like that here" tone in much of our media coverage.
Diana anyone? Jade Goody? Amy Winehouse?

Durachdan,

Eddy
