Agatha Christie   The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side From the book first published in 1962   Dramatised by Michael Bakewell. Lines from Tennyson's poem The Lady of Shalott form a vital clue to a murder. After her husband died, Dolly Bantry sold Gossington Hall to ex-film star Marina Gregg and her husband. When the glamorous couple throw a benefit for the local hospital, the grounds are thronged with curious visitors, but for one of them, the day ends in tragedy. It is up to sharp-witted sleuth Miss Marple to discover who was really meant to take the poison that killed the poor victim...

One minute, silly Heather Badcock had been gabbling on at her movie idol, the glamorous Marina Gregg. The next, Heather suffered a massive seizure. But for whom was the deadly poison really intended? Marina’s frozen expression suggested she had witnessed something horrific. But, while others searched for material evidence, Jane Marple conducted a very different investigation – into human nature.
