I too agree that Joan Hickson was THE definitive Miss Marple ...
and incidentally, she was Queen Elizabeth's favorite Miss Marple (apparently Elizabeth did NOT like Margaret Rutherford's version) - and Hickson was invited to a royal tea so that the Queen could express her appreciation for her performance! She received an OBE: 'Queen Elizabeth II bestowed the award and was delighted to do so, telling Joan that, as an ardent fan of Agatha Christie and Miss Marple, "You play the part just as one envisages it."'
