Masterpiece Mystery! Miss Marple Series Starts in July!
Premieres Sunday, July 5 at 9pm on WOSU TV
In July, acclaimed British actress Julia McKenzie (“Cranford”) takes over the iconic role of Miss Marple in four new episodes of the fourth season of the “Miss Marple” series.
When Miss Marple learns in “A Pocket Full of Rye” (7/5) of the deaths of businessman Rex Fortescue (Kennetth Cranham, Valkyrie), his young wife, Adele, and their housemaid, Gladys, the circumstances vividly recall the nursery rhyme “Sing a Song of Sixpence.” Since Miss Marple had trained Gladys herself, she has a personal reason to investigate. Will her reasoning and deduction make sense of the rhyme and at last reveal the culprit?
In “Murder Is Easy” (7/12), Miss Marple hears from a fellow railway passenger about a string of murders in a peaceful village town. When she learns that the passenger is involved in a tragic accident before making her report to the police, Miss Marple decides to investigate further to track down the killer, unearthing secrets about the village and its inhabitants.
In “They Do It With Mirrors” (7/19), the power goes out during rehearsal for an amateur show, commotion ensues and a murder takes place elsewhere in the house. As witness to the confusion, Miss Marple must decipher the elaborate conjuring trick played by the killer.
In “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?” (7/26), a young adventurer, the sole witness to a dying man’s enigmatic last words, seeks to solve the riddle they pose by forming an unlikely alliance with Miss Marple and a beautiful socialite. Together, they must navigate a hotbed of stifled emotion, murder, treachery and poisonous deceit to reveal the devastating truth.
The MASTERPIECE Web site, pbs.org/masterpiece, contains episode information, archives, features, teacher’s guides, learning resources, literary timelines, streaming video and more.
 New Series on WOSU TV!
Time Team America
Wednesdays, starting July 8 at 8pm
TOP ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER THE SECRETS OF AMERICA’S
MOST INTRIGUING HISTORIC SITES ON TIME TEAM AMERICA
For most Americans, any examination of the people who lived before us begins and ends with the reading of a book or the viewing of a film. There are some, however, whose curiosity and desire drive them to get their hands dirty by digging into the places where history began. Finding evidence buried for centuries is the only way to satisfy their hunger for knowledge. This kind of passion drives the archaeologists and historians in TIME TEAM AMERICA.
This all-new PBS summer series brings viewers into the trenches of working archaeological digs for three intense days — showing them what it takes to uncover the story of America. TIME TEAM AMERICA descends on a new site each Wednesday through August 5, traveling to Roanoke Island, North Carolina, the swamps of South Carolina, the fields of rural Illinois, the canyons of Utah and the South Dakota prairie in search of America’s roots.
Part extreme adventure, part science and part reality show, the five-part series takes viewers deep into the trenches of America’s most intriguing archaeological sites. In each episode, the show’s team of top scientists has three days to uncover the buried secrets of their assigned dig. Every hour counts as they piece together the past, using the latest technology, decades of combined experience and their own sharp wits. Far from the comfort of a museum or science lab, the team faces searing heat, driving rain, alligator-infested swamps, frayed nerves and inevitable technical setbacks. Through it all, the audience peers over the shoulders of the archaeologists at work, eavesdropping on intense conversations and sharing the rush of discovery as artifacts emerge from the ground.
