Watching a Miss Marple on cable I note the almost invariable habit of modern TV of inflating the social status of the participants. It's A Pocketful of Rye, and the house has been switched to something just short of Blenheim rather than Yewtree Lodge, the upper-middle-class household with three, rather than thirty, servants. Aggie almost never touched on the aristocracy - didn't know it, didn't bother with it. But a chance to show off how the other half, or 1%, lives cannot be passed up. The Downton Abbey effect.
