DEATH IN PARADISE
BBC1, 9pm
THE celebrity guest stars seem to have arrived in the Caribbean by the coach-load this week – although who can blame them, it’s more of a holiday than an acting gig.
The plot follows lottery winner Cherry (Laura Aikman), who has moved to Saint Marie with husband Gavin (Kelvin Fletcher).
Their friends Danielle (Faye McKeever) and husband Craig (Jason Manford) are visiting the couple at their beachside villa, ready for a relaxing holiday. But after a couple of unsubtle raised eyebrows among the four, it’s obvious that Something Is Not Right.
We all know what’s coming, and before long one of the friends is very much dead. There’s a moment to take in the horror of it all, before the jingly, happy theme music kicks in. It will be up to Neville Parker (Ralf Little) to play their usual game of Cluedo, which we all know he’ll solve in the end.
