Whoop. Finally it is here. I love these paradise programmes

BBC and its upcoming Death in Paradise (www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/death-in-paradise-season-14-release-date-bbc/) spin-off
Return to Paradise, which will whisk viewers away to the sunny shores of Australia.

The story follows DI Mackenzie Clarke (played by Anna Samson), who returns to her small Aussie hometown after years working in London for the Metropolitan Police for the last 6yrs after she fled the town after dumping fiancé Glenn at the alter (heartless woman lol)

She gets a less-than-warm welcome from those she alienated when she moved away, but a murder case that leaves the community stumped could be her pathway to redemption.

Her story will partly revolve around former love Glenn Strong (played by Tai Hara), who she abruptly left behind years ago, breaking his heart – can their relationship be salvaged when she returns?

She also left london under a cloud of suspicion

DI Clarke will be partnered up with Detective Colin Cartwright, played by British actor Lloyd Griffith (Ted Lasso (www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/ted-lasso-season-4-release-date/)), who appears to bring some comic relief, keeping the show firmly on
the quirky side – just like preceding entries in the Paradise family.

The supporting cast also includes Aaron L McGrath and Celia Ireland as Constable Felix Wilkinson and Reggie Rocco respectively, inhabitants of the idyllic, fictional town of Dolphin Cove.

It seems that Return to Paradise won't be skimping on the 'Paradise' element, with most of these images showcasing the stunning beaches and glorious weather of its Australian locale.

This is the second spin off from death in paradise

The first being beyond paradise with Humphrey in Devon

I hope this will be as good as love an easy watching murder and for an hour - 2hrs tax my brain 😂

This will fit in nicely before iacgmooh

Glad not on at 9

E1 of 6 tonight at 8

Brilliant ex pat Di Mackenzie Clark has fled london (guess we find out why) Amos controversy to her home tone in dolphin cove in oz

Wonder why she left oz to go to England. I'm guessing love affair

She finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation

Tv mag says that she was framed for tampering with evidence in U.K.

And trues to track down Estate agent Stuart who is selling her mums house

Senior Sargent philomena Stong can't get a detective with homicide exp to investigate so she asks Mack

The Sargent was also Glenn's mum who she left at the alter 6yrs ago

So would have been her mother in law

Enjoying it so far.

Me too.

I thought she was pretending to be Saga Noren at first, but she's growing on me now. Nice to have a woman detective as the protagonist.

@RadioBaBa

Illawarra region

The fictional town was filmed primarily on location in the Illawarra region, just south of Sydney, as well as on Sydney's northern beaches. The Illawarra has not been seen often on Australian television, but for the creators of Return to Paradise, it offered so much of what they wanted for the show.

Did I mishear the female estate agent name?

LIZS · 22/11/2024 20:38

Woman with long blonde hair.
