What mystery will the Shipton Abbott team solve this time?
Humphrey and the gang are back for a special episode of Beyond Paradise, as Shipton Abbott is hit by a spate of “bizarre burglaries” and the team uncover something that makes them all “reconsider the true meaning” of the festive period.
The Beyond Paradise Christmas special will see many much-loved characters return, as well as a few guest stars. Now, there are some extra pictures of the festive episode that’ll have fans counting down the days until Christmas Eve.
You can see all of the first look images below.
James Fleet (The Vicar of Dibley) will make an appearance in the Christmas special, alongside Isaac Vincent-Norgate (Sanditon), Amalia Vitale (Endeavour), Kulvinder Ghir (Still Open All Hours), Sheila Reid (Benidorm) and folk group Bellowhead.
And, of course, those returning include Zahra Ahmadi (DS Esther Williams), Dylan Llewellyn (PC Kelby Hartford), Barbara Flynn (Anne Lloyd) and Felicity Montagu (Margo Martins).
Chris Jenks will make a return in the festive special as Josh Woods, a local who has a fair few run-ins with the police in Shipton Abbott. Has he gone back to his old ways?

While no photos have been released of Dylan Llewellyn as Kelby this Christmas, the police officer has his hands full with a “cheeky young shoplifter”.
And just when you though the drama with subside, a “chance encounter gives Martha food for thought about the future”.
Elsewhere in the festive special, fans will see Esther’s teenage daughter Zoe (Melina Sinadinou) made to work in Santa’s Grotto, and it’s safe to say she is less than impressed.
