The first six episodes were all adaptations of Miss Marple novels by Christie. Subsequent
episodes were derived both from works featuring Miss Marple but also Christie novels that did
not feature the character. The title of the series removes the word Miss from Miss Marple, to
match the title of the Agatha Christie' Poirot series
