    Don't think any of them actually earn that much @Yviestevie ... even when they're doing their jobs ......... and I like football  :o

    Much as I love Ustinov I'm afraid Poirot will always be Suchet and Marple will always be McEwan, that's just the way it is.

    I agree @Dovefromabove, I wonder if all of this will change how society views what are important careers/jobs and whether their pay will reflect this.  Somehow I doubt it.

    Nope ... does not compute ... McEwan is Miss Jean Brodie .... fixed in my head.

    Yes, but he was always Peter Ustinov in his later years and not a convincing Poirot.  Still enjoyable tho.   Joan Hickson was great as miss Marple but I also like Geraldine McEwan.   Loved her in the Prince of Thieves.   Stole the show along with Alan Rickman.

    That is true @Dovefromabove I totally agree but (like many of us) she has become Marple with time. Being so out of touch with reality I have no problem seeing the two characters as completely different people
