Death in Paradise\u2019s favourite Detective Inspector \u2013 sorry to the other three DIs, but he is \u2013 Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) returns for a new series, but in Beyond Paradise<\/a> he has traded the palm trees and sunshine of Caribbean island Saint-Marie for a cloudier, but no less picturesque, Devon.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s there with fianc\u00e9e Martha (Sally Bretton), whom he memorably and rather adoringly followed back to London in 2017<\/a>. The pair are now making a new life in the (fictional) town of Shipton Abbott where Martha grew up and where her mother Anne (Barbara Flynn, who is a twinkly-eyed joy here) still lives.<\/p>\n

Martha\u2019s plan is to open a caf\u00e9, while Humphrey is joining the local police force, which is made up of enthusiastic young PC Kelby Hartford (Dylan Llewellyn), office support Margo Martins (I\u2019m Alan Partridge\u2019s Felicity Montagu) and an extremely driven DS Esther Williams (Zahra Ahmadi), none of whom are quite sure what to make of their new DI and his unconventional way of investigating crimes.<\/p>
