I saw this on tv (I live in Sweden) but I don´t know if its avaliable on the Internet.

There was a short article in one of the redtops today (Mirror I think) that said that the Pale Horse will be on ITV later this month !

Oh Goody, It might be what we get on Bank Holiday. I do hope so but they should have shown Why Didn't They Ask Evans first as that was made before I think.

I don't know. I hope so I'm looking forward to TPH more than any other Marple adapts. Maybe because of JJF ;) I need my Feild fix as I'm sure many of us here a agree!!!
But I thought I read X factor is on v soon on sundays?? (Save Our Souls!!)

OH NO! It isn't is it :-( Still, TPH might be on Bank Holiday, At least the Casting isn't offensive to me, Georgia Moffett should be playing Bundle in TSOC not Dervla Kirwin who must be too old for the part but a Great Actress None the Less.

In Next week's TV Times it says The Pale Horse is on the week after.

The new version of The Pale Horse is being shown in the UK on ITV1 on Monday 30th August.

I'm look forward to watching JJ Feild, watching Holly Willloughy being burnt and the stake. Plus the episode give us something to talk about, probably to moan about!
I'll try to keep an open mind.

I´m not going to write that much, it has been too many years since I read the book. Anyway, I saw the adaptation of this one about half an hour ago. I have to admit, Julia McKenzie is very good. For me, the ultimate miss Marple is (and I suspect always will be) Joan Hickson but McKenzie is absolutely the second best. She is both sharp and charming. The story is somewhat altered (since miss Marple isn´t in it at all) but I cannot mention all the changes (as I said, many years since I read the book).
The three “witches” at The Pale Horse seemed rather ordinary most of the time and the séance were a bit dull, I have to say. Pauline Collins did a fair job as Thyrza Grey, but… I know it´s hard words, but I cannot rid myself of them: a bit dull. The adaptation felt rather colorless. I had expected a much more sinister atmosphere but unfortunately it weren´t like that. In my opinion this adaptation was good enough, but it won´t be counted amongst my favorites. “The blue geranium” was better, for example.
