I cannot say a single negative thing about The Body in the Library. What a dream cast! Geraldine McEwan is my favorite Miss Marple thus far. Joanna Lumley is a riot as is Simon Callow. David Walliams cast as the stuttering bachelor was a delightful surprise. And the rest of the cast was just as good, really they were. What I love about this genre and this episode in particular is how the adapter and director can take the horrific facts of the story (It's awful, isn't it?) and make such light-hearted but suspenseful fun of it all. One could make a "TV Movie" of it easily with plenty of outrage and sentimentalism and have us all angry and weeping at the same time but it takes genius to turn it all into a riveting but comic drama.
