This has now got me thinking. (Invariably a bad sign, but I'll carry on anyway).
I wonder if there is some sort of editorial policy by which actors are expected to use caribbean type accents - and it just happened that the (Jack Parrot) actor was not very good at it so they let him use his natural one. Or, there is no policy anyway and actors just use whatever accent they want, and most choose a Caribbean one because it fits in, and/or to show that they can.
I wonder if it's something along the lines of, "If you can, go for it, if you can't, we'll just have to work round it." Have to admit, I didn't find Paul Barber's normal accent that incongruous - in some ways it was better than listening to someone going too far the other way in an attempt to 'do' a Caribbean accent! But then, I'm happy to let the whole thing wash over me and just enjoy some TV suitable for us all to watch as a family after we've all had a stressful day at work - I'm not one of life's 'plothole worriers'!
Has every single crime this series involved the murder not taking place at the time when it first appeared to have happened? Was this the case in previous series?

Just a bit of fun
Wow!
That was a lot more help for my memory than I was expecting
Now I'm testing my memory just remembering all the episodes you described. Lots of very good memories, and a few I'm struggling to recall.
Paul Barber's one of those actors that I can never understand how he made it as far as tv. His diction isn't great and he just seems to repeat a script, being the same person every time I've seen him.
Couldn't believe Camille uttering the words 'he signed his own death warrant.' Original British Drama? In 2014? Really???
Nevertheless it's generally still a pleasant enough way to spend an hour.
They relied on viewers not knowing what would have really happened if a shotgun had been used to fire the bullet.
For a kick-off at that range there would be far more blast damage to his chest from a shotgun round and there would have been clear evidence in the wound in the body from whatever in which the bullet had been wrapped.
All this can be forgiven as Camille's shorts were back.

1000 thanks!
I suggest you look here, then.

Hahah which of course is what I did

Hardly noticed Camille this week tbh. May have been something to do with Yasmine, played by the stunning Hannah John-Kamen:)
yes she is
Don't go back to her Humph!
And yes, please do not go back to your wife! (Never thought I would ever say that!
Once she has dumped you, the chances are she will dump you again.
Wise words
Good episode this week, really enjoyed it :-)
So did I. Loved his little portrait of Rosie.
For a kick-off at that range there would be far more blast damage to his chest from a shotgun round and there would have been clear evidence in the wound in the body from whatever in which the bullet had been wrapped.
All this can be forgiven as Camille's shorts were back.
I wasn't alone in thinking it obvious she would turn up, but think I was first though.

No Harry though this week, noooooooooo!.....:(
Just as Humphrey finally looks at Camille's shorts, the wife turns up!
That bit with the exercise machine was so telegraphed, it wasn't funny.
With all of the team on that island, was the commisionner taking the calls?
So that would be pretty much everyone, then?
