MARPLE: 4.50 FROM PADDINGTON (2004)
CertificationPG Our Rating
A series of suitably lush, impeccably cast, dramatisations of Agatha Christie's ever so unassuming Miss Marple, a razor sharp and eagle eyed amateur detective extraordinaire. Mrs McGillicuddy is awoken from her genteel doze by the sight of a woman being strangled by a silhouetted man in the train carriage opposite her own, was she dreaming?….unlikely.

THE RAILWAY CHILDREN/SWALLOWS AND AMAZONS (1970)
Certification12 Our Rating
The Railway Children; an affectionate adaptation of the great children's novel capturing the innocence of childhood and the comfy certainties of a bygone era. Not that their world is boring, they meet a wry bunch of characters, save a train from derailment and harbour a Bolshevik refugee etc. A high nostalgia count.
