And let's not forget the best series -- shot in black and white in the 60s -- the four Agatha Christie movies starring the wonderful Dame Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple!Teacatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899566893360863672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994301334173470273.post-59701062872427081712011-01-09T20:02:18.409-05:002011-01-09T20:02:18.409-05:00Hi Reggie and Topaz, I did enjoy reading "Sno...Hi Reggie and Topaz, I did enjoy reading "Snobs", I found it at a book sale on the Guilford Green.
