New Cozy Mystery Shows Coming Soon!

May 26, 2009

Good news, Cozy Mystery lovers! A site reader (Thank you, Alfred!) just told me about some upcoming shows on PBS… So>>> mark your calendars!

PBS is calling this the “Six by Agatha” event. It all kicks off with two new Hercule Poirot episodes (Hercule Poirot Series X) at the end of June. Of course, we wouldn’t want them with any other actor than David Suchet… And, lucky for us, he will be starring in them. Both of these Agatha Christie episodes are ninety minutes long:

June 21….. Cat among the Pigeons

June 28….. Mrs. McGinty’s Dead

And then on to four brand new Miss Marple (Miss Marple, Series IV) shows. This time Julia McKenzie will be starring as Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple. If you were lucky enough to catch Cranford when it aired on PBS earlier this year, then you already know what an exceptional actress she is. These episodes are also ninety minutes long.

July 5….. A Pocket Full Of Rye

July 12…..  Murder is Easy

July 19….. They Do It with Mirrors

July 26….. Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?

Now that the major television stations have all run their two hour season finales, what better way to celebrate the summer than with some brand new Mystery! shows on PBS?

Thanks, again, Alfred!

    I’m with you on David Suchet … perfect, perfect Poirot .. and looking forward to the two shows in June. By July, I’ll be out on tour, pushing my No. 2, ”Mama Rides Shotgun.” Guess that’s why they invented TIVO. Thanks for the list.

    Miss Marple wasn’t in “Murder Is Easy” or “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?”. I hate it when they do that.

    I know, Pat, isn’t that odd? I get all confused when I try to remember the plots of Agatha Christie’s novels, though. And, the BBC is so good at their craft, that any Agatha Christie episode is a welcome treat! (I am assuming it’s a BBC production, I’m not sure.)

    Does anyone know where I can find the DVD Appointment With Death? Another great read by Agatha Christie.

    Hi Debbie,

    If the Appointment with Death DVD that you are looking for is the one with Peter Ustinov, I just checked, and this is what I came up with.
