I saw the new version and liked Geraldine McEwan. I saw the Joan Hickson version years ago when it first aired, and would have to see it again to make any comparisons.

By the way, Joan has a bit part in a couple of the new episodes...

If you say so, . . .but Joan Hickson died in 1998.

Agatha Christie did write some good stories, but some of her plots made no sense. Has anyone seen Toward Zero?

Actually I don't think the word was as pejorative in the US either before the civil rights movement.

I grew up in the deep South and everyone used the word. No one really thought about it. One did not use it in polite company tho even back then.

I remember reading news stories in the 70's and maybe 60's in which they would quote Southerners as saying "Nigra", apparently indicating they couldn't pronounce the word right or whatever.

In my entire life, I have never heard anyone actually say "Nigra".
