4.50 From Paddington

The spinster's friend spies a murder on a train journey, but where is the corpse? Agatha Christie whodunit with June Whitfield.

Miss Marple's friend Mrs McGillicuddy arrives for a visit to St Mary Mead claiming she's just witnessed a murder during her steam railway journey from London.

On another train running alongside her carriage, she explains how a blind flew up revealing a man slowly strangling a woman – until she slumped down.

But next day, when there are no newspaper reports of a corpse, the spinster sleuth sets about her own murder investigation...

Starring June Whitfield.
