What is the average life expectancy of a gecko?

I reckon there was originally a Harriet hiding somewhere and this is the great-great-grandson of the original 🦎

When they're CGI, surprisingly long 🤣

I love the premise for the programme but like @jay55 I'm not a fan of the current team - there doesn't seem to be any chemistry or personality.
My favourites were JP and Florence as part of the team 🙂

I like the utter nonsense of Death in Paradise. Mostly it just makes me want to move to the Caribbean (although preferably somewhere with a lower murder rate...)

SoupDragon · 07/01/2023 11:36

Apparently wild geckos can live for 15 years.

DD and I always try to be the first to guess right at the start who's about to be bumped off just before the jolly theme music kicks in! 😂

Show quote history

We do that as well.

Can I ask what the Commissioner was saying to Catherine. Dh and ds were talking and I missed what was being discussed. I feel it’s quite important to his storyline this year.

He was talking about whether to meet the daughter he discovered he had last series. He decided to tell her that he needed more time.

SoupDragon · 07/01/2023 13:02

He spoke to Catherine about it earlier in the episode and then told her what decision he'd made at the end.

Do you the 4 police characters have humour or chemistry? The show was far more fun when Duane and Ruby were in the show.

I meant do you think the 4 police characters have humour or chemistry?

I think Darlene has really changed the dynamic for the worse. Don’t think it works with her and Marlon as the two uniformed officers at all.

I guessed who the murderer was but not the reason as I went down the route that he was having an affair with the phd student.

Still enjoyed it.

Ditto

i thought the wife but got reason wrong

I think it’s awful his ex wife didn’t tell him she was preg

The police team aren’t very good now. The glory days are behind it I think and Kris Marshall was definitely the best.

RaraRachael · 09/01/2023 13:59

I liked it with Duane, Florence and the young guy (not the current one but can't remember his name0. I couldn't stand Ruby so was glad her stint was mercifully short.

Do we think Catherine and Selwyn are going to get togethr?

jay55 · 09/01/2023 17:56

Yes it works best with the team having a bright one, a young up and comer and a buffoon.
Right now the balance is off.

Ralf did have an allergy, though, he was sneezing away because of the dust!
I agree the chemistry between the team isn't great, Marlon is sweet, though.

SoupDragon · 10/01/2023 22:42

At least the allergy meant something this time rather than just being for comic effect.

Love Robert Webb but can't watch him without seeing him doing his Flashdance routine!

PrincessScarlett · 13/01/2023 21:35

Also agree about the chemistry of the team. Naomi is nice enough but she's no Camille or Florence. I miss JP, I liked his and Marlon's relationship.

InMySpareTime · 13/01/2023 22:16

When did the "only 3 suspects" start? There should be 4. There's always been 4. The whiteboard looks so empty with only 3.

SoupDragon · 13/01/2023 22:45

Why was it night at the hospital but daylight at the surveillance?
