British Cozy Mystery · BBC · 1984–1992
For many fans, Joan Hickson is the definitive Miss Marple — a sharp-eyed spinster whose gentle, knitting-by-the-fire manner conceals a mind that misses nothing. The BBC's 1980s adaptations are faithful, beautifully mounted, and quintessentially cozy: village fêtes, vicarage tea, and a body in the library. Agatha Christie reportedly thought Hickson was the perfect Marple, and it's easy to see why.
