So then, Kris Marshall’s last episode this weekend.

Will he get the girl, or will he end up like poor old Ben Miller?

Pretty obvious who his replacement is.
How will the new guy cope with life on an island both small AND far away?

Not convinced by Dougal so far….

Humphrey will get the girl.

I keep expecting to see Father Jack sat in a chair in a corner of the police station

I thought Dougal was very good, and will make an excellent successor to Kris Marshall.

When’s the next installment?

Just as long as they keep the lizard they can change who they want

I haven’t watched it, but, realistically, spoilers are impossible for this programme, so the thread title is wrong.

Dougal as the new Ben Miller? Excellent.

Well, they now have an leading actress who can act.
That was a bit of a surprise.

Love the fact that they only have about five locations (the hotel, the big house with the pool, the big house without the pool, the bar, Humph’s shack).

Love that everyone always has the same alibi – in bed, alone.

Love the fact each episode is only an hour, as opposed to Midsomer Murders.

Excellent mindless television.

You didn’t see the BBC news article with all this in it yesterday then?

So, Bawwy Kwipke is in the next episode….

🙂

Quite enjoyed that, though I can’t help thinking Humph is a bit of a wet hen.

London or Honore?

Get a grip man!
You’re on an island paradise seemingly populated on the female side entirely by attractive single women.
Don’t give it up for London and a dizzy blonde who just ain’t that into you.

Drinking alone by Easter, mark my words.

Ardal looks fun.

I agree that Ardal looks like fun, but can I just say that – in real terms – living in the West Indies can be very difficult?

The ‘island paradise’ thing wears off pretty quickly when you realise that there really is pretty much nothing else to do but drink, look at the local beauty (n.b. I did not say ‘explore’!), and perform whatever your job is.

Same weather day in and day out. Same three over-priced shops. No cultural outlets. No real sports infrastructure. But LOTS and LOTS of politics.

I still love it, and am glad I lived there for a while, but I totally get Humphrey’s decision.

EDIT: Don’t let that put a damper either on this thread or on the fact that Death in Paradise is still enjoyable.

Kris Marshall will always be Collin Frissell…
