A short blurb from Acorn Media about Miss Marple Series 3: Though they might be fooled by her delicate exterior, criminals underestimate Agatha Christie’s mild-mannered spinster sleuth at their peril!
The final set of 4 stories is in Series 3 of Miss Marple. These four stories have been or soon will be on PBS’s “Mystery” program! What is different in this series is that 2 of the stories are not original Marple stories at all. The two stories are “Towards Zero and “Ordeal by Innocence”. There are quite a few well-known names in this Third series as guest stars such as Tom Baker (Doctor Who), Richard E Grant (Dr Who-Scream Of Shalka), Peter Davison (Doctor Who) and Jane Seymour to name a few. This set has a behind-the-scenes featurette on the Third series, a Photo Gallery and Cast Filmographies.

I had been reluctant to watch both "TOWARDS ZERO" and "ORDEAL BY INNOCENCE" because both were not original Miss Marple stories. But I was surprised to discover that despite these major changes in the stories' main investigator, I was very pleased and entertained by both adaptations.
