PBS' Masterpiece Mystery! will air an encore presentation of one of the episodes of Miss Marple: Series IV, a A Pocket Full of Rye, which Matthew Macfadyen appeared on the episode as Inspector Neele. A new face takes on the role of Agatha Christie's familiar spinster sleuth in series IV of Miss Marple. Julia McKenzie, best known to Masterpiece audiences for her portrayal of Mrs. Forrester in the acclaimed series Cranford, brings her distinctive style to the role. "I think Julia is a very different character than the other actresses who played Miss Marple recently, and more different than people who played her a long time ago," says Christie's grandson Mathew Prichard. "...I think audiences will love her." A killer cast joins in to celebrate McKenzie's inaugural season, including Matthew Macfadyen (Little Dorrit), Benedict Cumberbatch (The Last Enemy), Rupert Graves (The Forsyte Saga), Russell Tovey (Little Dorrit) and Joan Collins.
Besides Matthew, three of his P&P co-stars also appeared in the Miss Marple series on PBS' Masterpiece Mystery! previous series (in both Series II: The Sittaford Mystery, which Carey Mulligan (Kitty Bennet) appeared on as Violet.
