Miss Marple: Case Closed
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008
THE search is on for a new Miss Marple.
Just in from ITV is the announcement that Geraldine McEwan is to hang up her knitting needles and retire from the role of the spinster sleuth.
“Of course, it is terribly disappointing to have to pass the baton on,” said Geraldine.
“But it has been a marvellous experience to inhabit this role for the last few years, and I am sure that my successor, whomever she may be, will throroughly enjoy her time with the production team.
“And with the extraordinarily talented group of writers and actors that they come up with for each series.
“It’s been an absolute pleasure to work on Miss Marple since 2003, and I leave with fond memories.”
I interviewed Geraldine before that very first revamped Marple series and have spoken to her several times since.
