ITV’s husband and wife crime series Murder in Provence is proving to be a hit with audiences after it started airing recently. The drama originally premiered on BritBox back in March before hitting ITV earlier this month. Each episode has a different cast with guest actors joining – here’s a look at the final episode of the first series.
A short synopsis from ITV about the final episode called The Affairs on Men reads: “A love affair seems to be at the heart of a young woman’s death in the nearby town of Éguilles, but is it connected to the discovery of an older woman’s body in a vineyard kilometres away? Antoine, Marine and Hélène investigate the men in the two women’s lives to discover what was done to them and why.”
Who in the cast of Murder in Provence episode 3?
Antoine Verlaque – Roger Allam
Reprising his role as investigating judge Antoine Verlaque is Roger Allam, who is no stranger to screens thanks to his role as Fred Thursday in Endeavour, BBC’s The Missing, and V for Vendetta among many other credits in an impressive career.
Speaking about joining the cast and working with some of the stars before, Allam said: “Yes, I know Nancy, who plays Marine, so that was very easy working together. I very much wanted her to play the role from the beginning. I thought it was very important, because we were going from a standing start, filming was quick and we hardly had any time to rehearse, so it needed to be someone I get on with.
“We make each other laugh and there’s an ease between us that I think was great for the characters.
“I worked with Patricia Hodge at the National Theatre in 1999. We did two plays together – Money, for which we both won an Olivier award, and also Summerfolk. So yes, we go back a long way too.
