Grant, Davies, Burton to appear in 'Marple'

Stars including Richard E. Grant, Alan Davies and Amanda Burton are to appear in the final two Miss Marple dramas with Geraldine McEwan.

ITV has released details of Nemesis and Towards Zero, the last instalments filmed with McEwan before her retirement.

Nemesis, which will air in August, sees Miss Marple sent on a coach tour in a message from a recently deceased man named Mr Rafiel. Stars will include Grant, Johnny Briggs, Burton and Will Mellor.

Towards Zero, in which Marple investigates a murder at a sexually-charged party held by an aristocrat, features Dame Eileen Atkins, Tom Baker, Julie Graham and Paul Nicholls.

Julia McKenzie will take up the role of Miss Marple in a new series next year.
