Ordeal by Innocence is the second episode of the third series of Agatha Christie's Marple. It was broadcast on ITV by Granada Television on 30 September 2007. The screenplay was written by Stewart Harcourt and the episode was directed by Moira Armstrong. It was an adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel of the same name although originally Miss Mar...
Miss Marple is invited to the wedding of a friend, but the gaieties are interrupted when a stranger arrives; he provides the missing evidence which proves that the black sheep of the family, Jacko, was wrongfully hanged for murder. This raises the question of who in the household did kill the cold-hearted mistress of the house two years previously....
•This adaptation deviates from the novel most notably with the insertion of Miss Marple who was not in the original. This is achieved by having Gwenda Vaughn as a protege which Miss Marple had taken from an orphanage and trained up. At the beginning of the episode, Gwenda is about to marry Leo Argyle and she invites Miss Marple for the wedding. Hence Miss Marple is present when Arthur Calgary turns up.
•The character Bobby Argyle was created for the adaptation as the twin brother of Jacko Argyle.
•Many of the plot elements after Arthur Calgary's arrival follows the original novel fairly closely--Calgary was near Sunny Point visiting an old nanny, he picked up Jacko, they talk about eels. He left on the Hays Bentley expedition. There is no episode of concussion or loss of memory.
•The family call the Inspector Huish immediately--characters like Andrew Marshall and Dr MacMaster are not featured. Miss Marple starts investigating by talking to people at the house. She also sends Gwenda and Calgary to talk to people in the town.
•Before dying, Jacko had told Bobby that perhaps being executed is the best thing he will ever do. This suggests to Miss Marple that Jacko was covering up for the true murderer.
•The relations between the family members are more fractured than in the original and as the episode progresses, start accusing and suspecting one another. Philip Durrant is having an affair with Hester. Here he is a philanderer and Rachel had a dossier on his misdeeds. He was also not yet paralysed during the time of Rachel's murder. This makes him a plausible suspect. The affair with Hester also causes Mary to finger Hester as suspect. Others, especilly Kirsten finger Gwenda from the start, because she stands to gain the most. Towards the end Leo breaks off the engagement. In response to the accusations of the family members, Gwenda threatens that she knows many secrets about them. She is later murdered. Leo is also framed and briefly arrested by the police. Unlike the original, Tina is not attacked and Philip is not killed--he is not a threat to the killer like in the original.

Ordeal by Innocence includes significant changes to the characters, adding Marple into the story. Towards Zero inserts Miss Marple into the story and changes some characters, but is largely true to the original novel. Nemesis is only loosely based on the novel, and changes characters and setting.
Miss Marple - Ordeal by Innocence (2007) Note: Miss Marple is not in the book Ordeal by Innocence. The Marple series - broadcast on ITV in the UK - had Miss Marple in non-Marple book-adapts. Some adapts work better than others, I think. Other Marple episodes can be found elsewhere at Archive.
