Double Helpings of Agatha!
Howdy mystery fans! I was recently listening to a nice double helping of Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. It made me think how considerate the schedulers at BBC 7 were being. I can tell you there's nothing quite like logging on and seeing that your favourite mystery writer is being dished up to you in your favourite format. Nothing quite does it like an auido book can, (unless of course the final tape is missing, which happened to me recently with "Appointment with Death", most distressing!). An Agatha high is what i've dubbed that feeling!
However these double helpings of Christie's great sleuthers can go horribly wrong as both myself and Missy Marple can testify. Imagine, Christmas 2005, you've got your Radio Times in front of you. You give it a glance and lo and behold a Joan Hickson Miss Marple is running every week on BB2. You jump for joy! Until you notice that Ustinov Poirot films are running on Channel 4!!!
Yes your thinking of course i'll set the video, but as Missy Marple put it "Who's the sadist doing the Christmas Agatha Christie scheduling?!

I think its excellent that BBC7 are treating us to so much Agatha Christie! However, I fear its coming to an end very soon. It's like waiting for a bus, you wait for ages and then too many come along all at once.
BBC commissioner, you are spoiling us (with mysteries, not Ferrero Rocher)!!
