Marcia (The £199 Adventure)

In The £199 Adventure, which is a radio drama adaptation of the The Case of the City Clerk, Marcia is an assistant of Parker Pyne. She is an efficient organiser, in the same mould as Miss Lemon in the original Parker Pyne stories but her surname is not mentioned in the radio dialogue. Like the character of Miss Lemon played by Angela Easterling in two TV dramatisations of Parker Pyne, Marcia also had a much larger role than what a secretary would normally do. Marcia takes an active part in planning Parker Pyne's schemes, making many suggestions which would be out of character for the Miss Lemon from the original stories. In the radio drama Marcia does not serve as the receptionist. There is another person, Laura, who undertakes administrative tasks like showing visitors in and making arrangements for air tickets.

Marcia is played by Rebecca Front.
