WATCH HERE: Death in Paradise's commissioner Selwyn Patterson appears in Marlon Price clips Bosses behind BBC crime drama Death in Paradise have shared an update on the new series of the long-running show, but the update has sparked an urgent plea from fans. The latest set of episodes in series 14 saw Don Gillet make his debut as the new detective inspector, winning over loyal fans as he took over from Ralf Little's Neville Parker. Fans can rest assured that series 15 of the programme is on the way following the announcement, but they will have a bit of wait before the beloved characters return to screens. The show's official Instagram account shared on Tuesday that filming for the new episodes had commenced, sparking a flurry of enthusiastic comments, but among them was a key demand regarding the cast. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Death In Paradise (@deathinparadiseofficial) Posting a picture of a clapperboard reading "Death in Paradise 15," the caption of the post read: "We're back in paradise "Filming has begun this week in Guadeloupe on the brand-new series of #DeathInParadise." Loyal fans will know the only current character who's been in the show since its debut back in 2011 is Commissioner Selwyn Patterson While he's known as a Death in Paradise stalwart the latest series seemed to indicate the commissioner might be leaving the island soon Death in Paradise fans have pleaded for commissioner Selwyn Patterson to remain in the show One of the key plots of recent episodes was the fact that Patterson's job was being phased out with the team's bosses determined to remove his role in the Saint Marie police force The series saw him packing up his office for his "replacement," Sterling Fox Patterson was offered his job back but refused While it's unknown whether or not Warrington's character will change his mind and decide to stay fans have made their thoughts very clear in the comments with many begging for the show not to remove the iconic character One wrote: "Needs @donbwarrington to be there or missing a huge talent!" while another commented: "Selwyn better be staying Another responded to the news but also echoed the previous sentiments I miss them all (hopefully The Comissioner is back) @donbwarrington." Please let’s have an amazing Christmas episode! Need Commissioner Patterson back though!" another penned A particularly passionate comment read: "DON'T BOTHER WITHOUT THE COMMISSIONER ALSO THE REASON CAST FROM THE PAST COULD RETURN CATHERINE CAN'T BE THE REASON FOR ANY BUT HER DAUGHTER." "Do we think selwyn will stay??" someone else pondered with one more expressing their delight at the news The latest Death in Paradise series suggested Commissioner Selwyn Patterson could be leaving Similar comments were issued last month when viewers initially responded to scenes of the characters potential exit When asked about his decision to decline the position Patterson confessed during the episode: "I don't know I can't see a way to get back to how things were." The commissioner's choice came as a shock to viewers who had followed his struggle to regain his post throughout the season Patterson went on to reveal plans to visit his daughter Andrina though he remained vague about how long he would be away for leaving his storyline on a bit of a cliffhanger This is probably not the page you’re looking for Sign up to receive the TV WEEK e-Newsletter and

cleaner-slash-intellectual who becomes her local homicide department’s most dazzling crime solver more prestigious and higher-concepted endeavour that provides just as much entertainment bang for your watching buck as the others the last 10 days or so have been like working your way through an absolutely winning box of audio-visual chocolates Paradise is hard to write about without spoiling an important part of the concept The story is set in what seems to be the classic American idyll – an affluent town full of professionals and large houses in the ’burbs with neat gardens and safe streets for children to play in Sterling K Brown (maintaining his recent run of great roles and performances) stars as Xavier Collins a widower and Secret Service agent appointed five years ago – we see in flashback – to lead the recently re-elected president’s protection detail played by James Marsden – who arguably has never become an A-list actor because he is too good at everything and can’t be easily slotted into a producer or viewer’s mind as the man for that kind of thing in his genuine wish to do right by America and its people (when “the world is 19 times more fucked than anyone realises”); part Bill Clinton – the supposed dark side a southern progressive who chooses Collins not just because he’s the best but because it doesn’t hurt his optics to be seen with a Black man by his side because the responsibility of everything weighs so heavily on him The presidential safe is open and a boxful of national security secrets is missing Much better than it needs to be … James Marsden and Sterling K Brown in Paradise Photograph: Brian Roedel/APCollins is the man who discovers him and who shortly thereafter finds himself as a possible suspect Courtesy of more flashbacks and minor reveals foreshadowing the big one more and more reasons for his hatred of a man for whom he once took a bullet emerge It is partly the light racism (“Does my directness bother you?”) partly something to do with the death of Collins’ wife and partly something to do with the idyllic surroundings which simply cannot be as idyllic as they seem Building elsewhere in the first three episodes released by Disney is a plotline involving Julianne Nicholson as a tech billionaire shaping up to be the real power behind the throne (one of many timely touches – like Bradford dismissing his re-election because he beat “an idiot goldendoodle” – that are never overplayed) and who is also pursued by a terrible grief the delicious and compelling concept will have you hooked – but the greatest achievement of Paradise is to keep the psychology of the inhabitants as its prime concern The premise may be essentially ridiculous (or is it?) but the people are real and there is an unsettling air suffusing the atmosphere from the beginning The series gradually becomes – amid the well-wrought whodunnit-and-why plot – a thought-provoking interrogation of what impact the life-changing decision the town’s inhabitants made would have on a community what fractures us individually and collectively and how you reconcile bereavements and other awful All of this is helped along by a script that is much better than it needs to be and doesn’t forget to scatter some witty lines over the whole and Brown in particular – an actor with limitless gravitas as well as charisma who can play every nuance there is to find and who cannot help but encourage his audience to think too Paradise is a precision-tooled thriller with wit and heart Nubeena overlooks one of Tasmania’s most renowned surf beaches Creative couple Jamie and Ingrid Kwong’s Tassie paradise is set to go under the hammer on May 12 and it could be yours for a dream price who is chef and author Kylie Kwong’s

renowned chef and author Kylie Kwong “It’s the most extraordinary lifestyle block that I’ve ever seen in 30 years of selling real estate . I don’t think you’ll ever find another one and you could build something unbelievable there,” Medina said As Jamie told The Mercury recently: “The Headland is an old surfer’s cabin nestled in the forest above Roaring Beach on the southeast tip of Tasmania 200 acres of coastal reserve and only accessible via a 1.5km driveway through our own private forest the only company we keep on The Headland is our own or that of the local native wildlife.” They’d discovered The Headland after their first visit to Tasmania in 2017 for their 25th wedding anniversary “We decided to spend more time here and create a private escape for our family and friends,” he said showing the cabin (bottom centre) and the 8ha property surrounded on three sides by conservation area and towering sea cliffs The couple looked at more than 20 properties before they discovered The Headland There’s direct access to the beach via a secret track but as soon as they saw The Headland they knew it was the one They worked with their surfer neighbours to restore the old cabin which had been hand-built by the original owner’s son and his surfer mates 30 years before The Headland now has a 1.5 km driveway winding through its own forest to a bespoke solar-powered day cabin among the trees There is direct beach access via a “secret” track and the property is surrounded on three sides by conservation area and towering sea cliffs The Headland features many inspiring building sites where you can sit back and take in the breathtaking vistas over the surrounding hills and valleys The property is just a few headlands around from the world-famous big wave break Enjoy all the Tasman peninsula has to offer all within a short drive from The Headland distilleries and farmer’s markets through to historic sites national parks and some of Tasmania’s best walks and the tallest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere We're headed back to paradise!

To support the Guardian, order your copy at guardianbookshop.com Despite reluctantly waving goodbye to Rosie When you consider the pantheon of great TV couples, Beyond Paradise's Humphrey and Martha might not instantly spring to mind from Humphrey’s decision to leave Saint Marie to pursue a relationship with Martha to their continued commitment to one another despite their fertility struggles and their continued commitment to fun and adventure given everything they've endured they certainly make a strong case for their admittance to that esteemed club provided an opportunity for Humphrey and Martha to showcase just how robust their partnership is regardless of the obstacles placed before them Cast your mind back to the 2023 Christmas special when they first discussed the possibility of becoming foster parents Their initial conversations were tentative Fostering is not a like-for-like substitute if you had your heart set on raising a child of your own and it also comes with a raft of unique challenges which you can't entirely prepare for discussion turned into action and they have since welcomed a number of children into their home who came to them after her mum was rearrested and placed on remand she was unsure of her new surroundings when she first arrived as most people are when they initially meet him a resistance to new routines and one particularly explosive outburst involving a green pen and a pristine white wall with encouragement and commitment from Humphrey and Martha stable support system right when she needed it most their new guest settled into her temporary home and the three of them had become their own little unit which made what happened next all the more painful There would be no trip to the zoo tomorrow as promised because Rosie was going home to her mum news which left Humphrey and Martha utterly bereft \"I didn't think it would hurt this much,\" remarked a dejected Humphrey whose relationship with their foster child had blossomed in recent days While they knew that moment would eventually come and there was no part of them that begrudged her being reunited with her mum they didn't expect the call to arrive quite so soon and they probably didn't expect to have formed such a deep connection with her we're only a phone call away,\" said Martha But despite the sinking feeling that came with saying goodbye to Rosie and their inevitable fears about how they'll handle similar situations in future or if this is even something they want to continue exploring our focus was drawn to Humphrey and Martha who were holding hands – a small but comforting act that reaffirms their commitment to one another and gently brings the focus back to their relationship which is the beating heart of Beyond Paradise There was a time when Martha believed that without a child in their lives she wouldn't be enough for Humphrey and he would grow to resent her hence her decision to leave him in season 1 She admitted to Esther that that insecurity does still occasionally rear its head and since that particularly painful period in their relationship their unit of two now as solid as it's ever been \"Humphrey and Martha have their own challenges,\" said Kris Marshall ahead of season 3 And I don't think that we need to revisit that I think that Humphrey and Martha are quite unique in terms of a sort of main protagonist couple who don't have these massive indiscretions and dramas between them \"They're just a good couple to spend time with.. friendly couple who love each other implicitly \"And I think that's quite unique for what is ostensibly a drama to not have that drama and to still be fun to spend time with them I think that's a real feather in our cap.\" While there's a possibility that they wouldn't have survived losing Rosie a few years ago any heartbreak that they suffer moving forwards now actually brings them closer together \"I think that they [the audience] enjoy the love between Martha and Humphrey and they enjoy that they still have fun together,\" added Bretton they've had their ups and downs through everything and I think people enjoy seeing that sort of relationship Life's pendulum will of course continue to swing and there will be moments when they're challenged as a couple but Humphrey and Martha remain steadfast and true Beyond Paradise is available to stream on BBC iPlayer Check out more of our Drama coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guideto find out what's on.

Beyond Paradise leaves Humphrey and Martha heartbroken – but there's a silver liningDespite reluctantly waving goodbye to Rosie there's still something to smile about from Humphrey’s decision to leave Saint Marie to pursue a relationship with Martha to their continued commitment to one another despite their fertility struggles and their continued commitment to fun and adventure given everything they've endured and it also comes with a raft of unique challenges which you can't entirely prepare for Red Planet Pictures/Joss BarrattDuring Rosie's birthday party "I didn't think it would hurt this much," remarked a dejected Humphrey they didn't expect the call to arrive quite so soon and they probably didn't expect to have formed such a deep connection with her we're only a phone call away," said Martha and their inevitable fears about how they'll handle similar situations in future she wouldn't be enough for Humphrey and he would grow to resent her "But he makes me happy," she added their unit of two now as solid as it's ever been "Humphrey and Martha have their own challenges," said Kris Marshall ahead of season 3 And I don't think that we need to revisit that I think that Humphrey and Martha are quite unique in terms of a sort of main protagonist couple who don't have these massive indiscretions and dramas between them "They're just a good couple to spend time with.. "And I think that's quite unique for what is ostensibly a drama I think that's a real feather in our cap."

Sign up now. My husband and I booked tickets to Samoa for 10 days in June. Where and how should we spend our time? We both enjoy regional cultures, but food is our raison d\\u2019etre.M. Blums, Mornington, Vic Samoa consists of nine islands, although for practical purposes you can discount all but the largest two, Savaii and its little brother, Upolu, where the capital, Apia, is located and where most of the population lives. If you feel the need for exercise, there\\u2019s the usual hothouse choice of diving, fishing, snorkelling, sea-kayaking and surfing. The pilgrimage to Villa Vailima, the house built by Robert Louis Stevenson at the foot of Mount Vaea, where he dressed his Samoan servants in Stuart tartan, is obligatory. If you want zippy nightlife, things to buy, beach massages and a local cuisine that will take your taste buds out for a tango, Samoa is not the place. It still feels like the South Seas paradise, and you have to respect the rules. For example, you must never walk past a chief with a raised umbrella. The fine can be as high as two live chickens. We have booked a train departing the main station in Berlin at 11.30am. How early can we board? We don\\u2019t have assigned seating and will each be travelling with one large and one small suitcase which we would like to keep nearby for the 5\\u00BD-hour trip.Y. Faym, Malvern, Vic You can generally board as soon as the train arrives at the station. To find out which platform your train will depart from, use either the Deutsche Bahn (DB) app or. Make sure you consult either one shortly before the scheduled departure time in case of a platform change. If you want to guarantee a position close to the baggage storage area, you should book seats. I am planning a family holiday in northern Italy in August 2026 for 11 adults, three young children and a two-year-old. We want to stay in a large house rather than a hotel, not in a city but with access to villages. We want to fly from Singapore non-stop to Italy, any suggestions?A. Mccall, Frankston, Vic Singapore Airlines has daily non-stop flights from Singapore to Milan. Flight time is 13 hours and the overnight flight arrives in Milan at 6.30am. You will probably want to explore the surroundings and possibly the lakes as well, and therefore you\\u2019re going to need a couple of hired vehicles at the very least. If this appeals, don\\u2019t leave it too long \\u2013 villas book up quickly. Either the Lombardy region, which includes Milan and Lake Como, or Piedmont, its western neighbour, would fit the bill. Piedmont is more rugged and mountainous, and also slightly less busy in August, and that would be my choice. In September, we\\u2019re planning a 12-day stay in Greece before a cruise, spending time in Thessaloniki followed by Mount Olympus, Meteora, Delphi and finally Athens by train. Any suggestions for an itinerary and stay options in Athens?M. Howland, Concord NSW Arrive in Thessaloniki and spend the first day exploring the city centre, the waterfront promenade and the Ladadika district, the Rotunda, White Tower and the Archaeological Museum. The following day, take a walk around the Old Town of Thessaloniki, also known as Ano Poli, and enjoy panoramic views. Visit some of the city\\u2019s Byzantine churches and explore the Kapani and Modiano markets. The next day, take a train to Litochoro, at the base of Mount Olympus and over the following day you might hike part of the E4 trail or else take a guided tour to explore the Mountain of the Olympian Gods. The E4 goes as far as Prionia, in Mount Olympus National Park, but it\\u2019s a tough slog. The following day, take a train to Kalabaka in the foothills of Meteora, take a stroll beneath the cliffs and over the next couple of days visit some of the monasteries, and Varlaam, Great Meteoron and Roussanou are the standouts. Take a train to Delphi, visit the ancient sanctuary, the Temple of Apollo, the stadium, the Delphi Museum and the nearby village of Arachova, then take another train to Athens. Recommended hotels in the capital include the Hotel, and the Suites.

Other great minds willingly contributed their expertise to the success of the project will privilege their own survival in the event of total societal collapse and they will feel that the decision is justified saving humanity by hacking its destruction Much of “Paradise” is hammy as hell. It aspires to simultaneously capture the fleshy intrigues of “Scandal” and the spiritual reckonings of “The Leftovers.” The soundtrack leans on a worn-out motif downbeat remixes of eighties hair-metal records—“I Think We’re Alone Now,” by Tiffany; “We Built This City,” by Starship—music beloved by the late President Bradford Marsden and Brown are actors who know how to harness the saccharine burning sugar in order to give the narrative dimension the President invites Collins into his office Bradford orders Collins to take off his shoes Collins dutifully stoops over and the President stops him The scene seems a harbinger of the cad President’s sadism but the relationship mellows out to something of an interracial brotherhood Bradford trusts no one more than he does Collins Bradford’s death is a crisis not only because it is a political assassination but because there is no violence in Paradise Everyone believes that guns were not brought into the underworld the relationship between Collins and Bradford had soured The show loves to dole out information in fits mirroring the characters’ slow understanding of their false new world the President informed Collins of the impending disaster and promised to grant safe passage to him and his family and the President did not get her out in time appealing in its visions of thwarted heroism and automated militarization and triggers a tsunami; nations immediately engage in nuclear war The Secret Service shed their suits and take up machine guns eventually turning them on the President’s staff the gravity of his moral abdication gradually whitening his beautiful The sentimentalism of “Paradise” is crucial because it gets the viewer to trust the morality of a show that relies on constant misdirection It’s disaster entertainment with a sad heart The survivors in the bunker cope with the world ending as a kind of fait accompli—it was always going to happen whether by natural disaster or man-made destruction further cracks in the edifice of Paradise show (Spoilers follow.) How complete was this apocalypse Scientists in the bunker are sent to the surface to search for survivors the people are told that the scientists didn’t survive the mission and transmits a message in red lights: “They’re lying to you.” He initiates a coup; he and his insurgents locate and raid a secret weapons arsenal The show’s vision of people power is concentrated in this savior a grieving Black father who persuades not through speech but through clever police work A cat-and-mouse game between Collins and Sinatra manipulating Collins into putting down his gun It seems that the billionaire-as-god trope has a little more life left in it after all A long-ago crime, suddenly remembered A limousine driver watches her passengers transform The day Muhammad Ali punched me What is it like to be keenly intelligent but deeply alienated from simple emotions?

It’s all very nefarious, and drives the show’s plot momentum in terms of not just discovering who murdered Cal, but just what everyone’s agenda is, and what has been hidden from Xavier and the rest of Paradise’s citizens. Don’t trust this tech billionaire. Credit: Ser Baffo/DisneyBeyond the pulpy thrills of scheming oligarchs, Paradise is trying to be a series about grief and collective trauma. What does it mean to be the last ones remaining after a global catastrophe? Xavier is a widower with two kids and he’s never forgiven Cal for his wife’s death – why Xavier holds him responsible is explained in episode seven, which happens to be the highpoint of the show, a visceral flashback to the day the world ends. One of the characters is a therapist (Sarah Shahi) and sometimes it feels as if the whole town is in some sanitised, toned-down Stanford Prison Experiment. Sterling K. Brown is always so, so watchable. Credit: Brian Roedel/DisneyAs a drama, Paradise has highs and lows and it is perhaps more thematically ambitious than its execution. There are unexplored, wider threads the series doesn’t pull, at least not yet, that could make for a deeper story about life after everyone else’s deaths. It’s frequently distracted by competing subplots and vice versa. But Brown is eminently watchable and a gifted actor who persuasively sells the roiling emotions inside Xavier. If nothing else, that seventh episode, if you want to see a plausible scenario of how it all ends and the billionaire hands that did nothing except save themselves, Paradise serves as a stark warning to us all.
