Gwenda invites her friend Miss Marple to the wedding at their home Sunny Point. Two years later, widowed Leo Argyle is engaged to his secretary Gwenda Vaughn. He was in deep debt and faced the threat of violence from his debtors but despite his pleas, she had refused him any money and he threatened to kill her. Jacko had a terrible row with his mother in her study just an hour and half before she was killed. Jacko Argyle, convicted of murdering his adoptive mother Rachel, was hanged while protesting his innocence. This adaptation by ITV deviates in several ways from the novel. It was adapted into a film in 1985 starring Donald Sutherland and a stage play in 2007. Some of the filming took place in Turville, Buckinghamshire, which is also the village used for all the outside locations for The Vicar of Dibley.Īgatha Christie’s novel was published in 1958 and considered one of the best of her later works, also one of the author’s favourites of her own novels. Ordeal by Innocence was the third story out of a total of four in this series. This was the third series of Miss Marple filmed by ITV, starring Geraldine McEwan in the title role.

This 2007 drama ensured that Richard fulfilled many an actor’s “required remit” of appearing in at least one Miss Marple episode and he was joined by a wonderful ensemble cast for the adapation of one of Christie’s favourite novels.
