Death in Paradise 2023 Christmas Special

PATSY KENSIT (EASTENDERS), DOON MACKICHAN (TWO DOORS DOWN), YOUSSEF KERKOUR (HOUSE OF GUCCI), GEOFF BELL (THE CURSE), BRONAGH WAUGH (RIDLEY), AMELIA CLARKSON (THE LAST KINGDOM), FREDDY CARTER (SHADOW AND BONE) AND LEILA KHAN (HEARTSTOPPER) ARE CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS ON THE SUNNY SHORES OF SAINT MARIE THIS YEAR.

THEY JOIN DEATH IN PARADISE SERIES REGULARS RALF LITTLE (D.I NEVILLE PARKER), DON WARRINGTON (COMMISSIONER SELWYN PATTERSON), SHANTOL JACKSON (D.S NAOMI THOMAS), TAHJ MILES (OFFICER MARLON PRYCE), GINNY HOLDER (TRAINEE OFFICER DARLENE CURTIS) AND ÉLIZABETH BOURGINE (CATHERINE BORDEY) FOR THE BBC CARIBBEAN CRIME DRAMA’S FESTIVE FEATURE-LENGTH SPECIAL, AIRING ON BBC ONE AND IPLAYER.

When entrepreneur and family man, Gerry Stableforth (Geoff Bell), is found dead in a ravine, his family – wife, Bella (Patsy Kensit), children Benjamin (Freddy Carter), Mariana (Amelia Clarkson), and niece Riley (Leila Khan) - are left in shock. As DI Neville Parker, DS Naomi Thomas, Officer Marlon Pryce and Trainee Officer Darlene Curtis set to work on cracking this mysterious death, things take a turn as the family’s visiting digital marketing guru, Debbie Clumson (Bronagh Waugh), suddenly disappears. Once news of Debbie’s disappearance reaches home, her hapless partner, Dave (Youssef Kerkour), is determined to find out what happened to her. Meanwhile, Neville’s larger-than-life mum, Melanie (Doon Mackichan), arrives on the island to spend Christmas with her son in the sun. Quickly striking up a fabulous friendship with Catherine Bordey, the pair take the Saint Marie dating scene by storm. But not before Melanie attempts to impart some words of wisdom upon her love-scarred son, who is battling the notion that some people just aren’t meant to find love, with him being one of them... Also taking notes from Neville’s mum, Naomi attempts to loosen up and focus on herself outside of work – but is she about to make things awkward between herself and a close friend at the Christmas party? And is Neville the man responsible for putting an awkward stop to Commissioner Selwyn Patterson’s big Christmas lights switch on?

the funniest part of much ado is after claudio and hero get engaged and beatrice is like “meanwhile I’m over here!!! forever alone!!! I wish someone like don pedro would ask me to marry him haha!!” and don pedro is like “would you like me to marry you?” and beatrice says no.

Not to excuse Darcy's rudeness, but if I were stared at or gossiped about by Merryton Society, I would feel uncomfortable and try to avoid to talking to them too.

Charlotte Lucas is one of the most intelligent characters in pride and prejudice. The woman was light-years far away understanding mr. Darcys feelings about Elizabeth than herself (or anyone else before her aunt). And the queen was a true mastermind once she managed to marry well as was possible for her. girl nailed it 🤓👏

I just got a memo from HR telling me that I may run for public office but I may not publicly advocate for the violent overthrow of the government. God forbid a girl do anything.

Name the crimes your dog has commited. Expose them.

Current dog (Cocker Spaniel): Mostly pee crimes but also the sexual assault.

Last dog (Cocker Spaniel): A criminal mastermind. Purse theft. Eyeglasses theft. Everything theft. Once snuck a mouse that had been pooped out by another dog into some sort of dead body/poop agglomeration into my spotless home minutes before 30 friends and business associates were set to arrive. We smelled the contraband before we saw it. Once ate a pound of spicy frozen sausage and the plastic packaging in minutes and didn’t even have the good graces to get indigestion.

First dog (Yellow Lab): Picked a fight with a piece of tin foil…and lost.

It really makes me sick to see people giving money to penny weeklies when Franklin's expedition STILL has not been found 😭 There are good men out there trapped in unimaginable temperatures and literally all that's needed is a little more funding for another rescue mission yet all you guys seem to care about are your vulgar little stories...

I swear this website has 0 reading comprehension skills. Darwin NEVER claimed we "evolved" from apes like if one of you guys actually bothered to open his new book you'll see all his arguments are backed up by evidence. He actually makes a lot of sense

#sure there's nuance like i don't fully agree with all of it #but his general theory of natural selection seems pretty sound imo

Of course these are the finalists lmao this website is so predictable. Anyway vote Heathcliff if you dont i'm going to assume you're a phrenologist

📖 sapphichelenburns Follow

It's not problematic to acknowledge the fact that Heathcliff was a brute like he literally killed dogs in case you forgot. #rochestersweep

🙈 butchbronte Follow

I love the implication here that Rochester never did anything cruel either. He literally locked his wife in the attic and lied to Jane about it 😭 like that was a pretty significant thing that happened

And? God forbid women do anything
