Don Warrington doesn't know why Death in Paradise is a success
Death in Paradise viewers are patiently awaiting for the new series of the BBC hit crime drama. The return of the popular programme this Christmas will see Don Gilet make his debut as the new lead detective D.I. Mervin Wilson before his first full series next year.
Don takes over from Ralf Little, who left his role as Neville Parker at the end of the last season. However, in the meantime, BBC bosses are treating fans of Death in Paradise to reruns, with Neville Parker's first-ever episode airing again on Tuesday, July 23.
Season nine, episode five, is called Switcharoo, and first aired in 2020. Fans may recall it sees Ralf Little's character introduced after he was temporarily flown over from Manchester to close a case when a woman is found dead in her hotel bathtub.
