McCutcheon to star in next Marple drama
Martine McCutcheon, Hannah Spearritt, Francesca Annis and Stephen Mangan are among the stars lined up to appear alongside Geraldine McEwan in the latest Marple drama for ITV1.
Entitled At Bertram’s Hotel the production, which looks at murders in a top London hotel that happen as the will of a multi-millionaire is read, also features singer Mica Paris, Peter Davidson, Polly Walker, Ed Stoppard and Mary Nighy.
This is the third of four new Marple films the network has commissioned, and follows on from Towards Zero and Nemesis. At Bertram’s Hotel has been adapted from Agatha Christie’s original by Doctor Who writer Tom MacRae and will be produced by Karen Thrussell.
Christie remains the most popular novelist in history, with her work being published in 50 languages in over 70 countries and more than two billion of her books sold to date.
LWT began broadcasting Agatha Christie’s Poirot in 1989 and the BBC was previously the producer of the Miss Marple dramas.
