Death In Paradise, Season 6
Thought it best we have a new thread for the new season ![]() The latest news has really made me happy. This is going to be good. Cannot wait. Related content from Digital Spy: http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/news/a7...tarts-filming/ Quote:
Death in Paradise is shooting in London for two episodes this coming series.
"We are very excited to be bringing Death in Paradise to London for the very first time," executive producer Tim Key said. "Humphrey has always been a fish out of water in Saint Marie, adjusting to the island's ways and customs, but for the scenes set in London, the roles are reversed as he is back in his hometown, giving an opportunity to explore the characters that viewers know and love against a new backdrop." |

Thanks Carl. I didn't know it had even been renewed.
It is a bit of a guilty pleasure - looking forward to more Sally as well. |

Well, maybe a little bit of a change and a different perspective for a while wouldn't be the worst thing.

Spot on, the BBC can't even try to show commitment to good tv anymore.

Hmm.. I'm delighted it's returning but the main reason I love it so much is to enjoy the beauty of the location. I can almost imagine the heat of the sun and the brightness of the skies no matter how dull and damp it is here. So 2 episodes in London does not thrill me in the slightest.

I wonder what part of London they'll use? I will still watch it although I really like it set on Saint Marie. I love cosy mysteries and also having the wonderful scenery to look at is a bonus.

It won't be about "saving money". It will just be doing something a little different in that they're reversing the original 'fish out of water' premise.
They gave the show a sixth season. How the hell is that not "showing commitment to good TV"? ^ Exactly this. |

And how do you know they're cutting costs by doing this? Perhaps they're doing it so they can spend some more money elsewhere in the budget. You don't have a clue so please stop pretending you do.
Besides, they wouldn't have to cut costs anywhere if they hadn't had their overall budget slashed by some 25% or more since 2010. |

Isn't a lot of it filmed in the UK anyway?
It might not be any cheaper as they'll have to find new filming locations and possibly build some new sets. They'll probably end up with a bigger roster of guest stars as well. |

Imagine being a guest star looking forward to two weeks of paid work in the Carribbean only to discover your episode is being filmed in London.

I'm probably getting confused, I remember reading about a programme where they filmed stuff in a studio then decamped to somewhere exotic for the rest of it. Not sure what show it was though... Wikipedia says the police station in DIP is an old church hall so it seems I'm wrong.

Sorry, I'm probably just bummed out one of the few shows I genuinely must watch is another seemingly victim of the BBC making cuts from my viewing whilst others carry on without any alteration

So, it's death in London now, not death in the beautiful caribbean island
Might give it a go,, The exotic locations were the best thing about it |
