Lesley Manville reprises her role as a sharp-eyed book editor turned amateur detective in the concluding instalment of Marble Hall Murders, airing this evening on BBC One at 9.35pm.
The drama is based on the final book in Anthony Horowitz's mystery trilogy, which follows Manville's character as she draws on her professional eye for narrative detail to help untangle a real-life case. The franchise follows a former publishing editor whose familiarity with crime-fiction conventions is put to unusual use once she becomes entangled in an actual investigation, a concept that has become a signature of Horowitz's work across several television and book projects.
The series has built a following for blending traditional whodunit plotting with a knowing, literary sensibility. Broadcasters have kept plot details for tonight's episode under wraps ahead of transmission, in keeping with the show's approach of withholding key revelations until air.
Also on the schedule this evening is the first live show of the new Strictly Come Dancing series, the point in the competition where couples perform before a studio audience and receive the judges' scores in real time for the first time this season.
Together, the two programmes make for a busy night of scheduled entertainment on BBC One, pairing the conclusion of a scripted drama with the opening live instalment of one of the channel's longest-running entertainment formats.
