ITV makes an admission?

I don’t usually post on ITV’s crime/drama repetoirre - as frankly, I don’t watch it. However, this is slightly different. I have watched Miss. Marple, entirely too many times, and so am more able to comment.

So, who should be the new Miss. Marple? No-one. There isn’t any need for one. The poor old woman has been done to death over the years. After all, there’s only a limited number of novels to be covered - and they all have been. Several times. It’d be far better for ITV to produce some decent new material rather than recycle these same tired old plots again.

Or is this a tacit admission by ITV that they’ve got no-one able to produce any decent new material?
