Shore of suspense

Sally Bretton and Kris Marshall return for a new season of the cosy crime series set on the stunning southwest coast

Kris Marshall always dreamt of doing his own stunts. In fact, he was all set to skydive for Beyond Paradise’s third season — until bosses shut him down.

“I was really up for it, though there was a small matter of insurance,” the 51-year-old says. “They said, ‘No chance.' If it was the last day of filming, they would probably let me do it. But there's an adage that says to never do a dangerous stunt on your last day of filming.”

Whether diving from a plane or into another case, DI Humphrey Goodman is back for another series of the popular Death In Paradise spin-off, with Sally Bretton, 44, who portrays his supportive partner, Martha Lloyd.
