Murder is Easy is the second episode of the fourth series of Agatha Christie's Marple. It was broadcast on ITV by Granada Television on 17 June 2009. The screenplay was written by Stephen Churchett and the episode was directed by Hettie Macdonald. It was an adaptation of Christie's novel of the same name although the original did not feature Miss M...
Miss Marple meets Lavinia Pinkerton on the train and learns of her suspicions about the village deaths. Pinkerton is killed in a fall down a London station escalator while en route to Scotland Yard. Miss Marple meets 30-ish police detective Luke Fitzwilliam (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) in the village, where he is dealing with a deceased relativ...
•Murder is Easy was not originally a Miss Marple book, and changes the murderer's motive.
•In this adaptation, it is Miss Marple who meets Lavinia Pinkerton on the train. After Miss Marple reads about Lavinia being killed, she travels to Wychwood under Ashe for the funeral. There she teams up with Luke Fitzwilliam to investigate the sequence of unusual deaths.
•Bridget Conway does not collaborate with them until much later. Here she has a different backstory and cuts a mysterious character initially, moving around the village making her own inquiries. Significantly she had spoken to several of the people who had just died. It is later revealed that she is an adopted child searching for her roots.
•Some of the people who died are different from the original. The first to die was Florie Gibbs who, despite being experienced in country matters, supposedly ate poison mushrooms she picked herself. The second was the local vicar who failed to wear his mask when using poison near his beehives. The third is a young woman Amy Gibbs, who it is said, accidentally drank hat dye instead of her cough medicine. Major Horton's wife dies much later, apparently a suicide from an overdose of insulin.
•Some of the suspects and main characters from the original such as Gordon Whitfield and Giles Ellsworthy do not appear. The others have the same occupations but different backstories. Major Horton here is a Member of Parliament and the setting here is the weeks before the General Elections in 1955. The tension between Dr Thomas and Horton (in the original it is Thomas and Whitfield) is because they belong to opposing political parties. There is a sideplot involving Mr Abbot, a supporter of Horton, who has ambitions of usurping and taking over from him.
•Honoria Waynflete is portrayed as a younger woman. Whitfield is not featured, and here it is Horton who once asked her to marry him but she turned him down because she had to look after her intellectually-challenged brother. Like in the original, she is ultimately unmasked as the mass murderer.
