This Sunday Masterpiece Mystery will be airing an encore presentation of Agatha Christie's A Pocket Full of Rye, starring Julia McKenzie as Miss Marple. Here's a bit about the story:
Revisit a favorite case this Sunday, June 6, 2010, on MASTERPIECE MYSTERY! In an encore presentation of A Pocket Full of Rye, the murders are following the themes of a nursery rhyme, but the case is anything but child's play for Miss Marple. Julia McKenzie (Cranford) stars as Miss Marple with a guest appearance by Matthew Macfadyen (Little Dorrit) in this adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel.
If you missed this film last year, it's worth checking out as it's one of the strongest entries from Julia McKenzie's debut season as Miss Marple (plus it features Matthew Macfadyen, so how can you go wrong?).

O O O thanks for the update!
I have watched this several times now on PBS & got the dvd from the library - love it! I'm a big Agatha Christie fan and enjoy watching the mysteries come to life on screen.
Matthew Macfadyen is great in this - too bad he couldn't team up with Miss Marple all the time - more MM screen time is always good!
Looking forward to the new episodes of Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot!
