I meant the book but yeah, the actor is fine, too. I see my library has the series on DVD, so I'll get to rewatch it. I'm pretty sure we watched it on Masterpiece Mystery (or whatever the series was called back in the nineties) but my memory isn't what it used to be... I've been watching the more recent version on various PBS stations (I get three in my city). "Marple" is what it's called at the library, but I've seen them fairly recently.

I used to like Poirot best but I've come to prefer Miss Marple. Poirot can get on my nerves, especially in the novels.
