Death In Paradise

FANCY some rays of sunshine on these dark autumn nights?

Death In Paradise should be just what you need to forget about the chill in the air and that latest gas bill.

Written by Robert Thorogood and starting on BBC1 a week tomorrow – Tuesday October 25 – it’s a fish out of water drama filmed in the Caribbean.

I saw the first episode at a London cast and crew screening last month.

And then spoke to leading lady Sara Martins – still recovering from an extra drama on location – and executive producer Tony Jordan.

Married Single Other: Miranda Raison

FORMER Spooks star Miranda Raison looked stunning at the launch of her new TV series in London today.

Married Single Other is a six-part romantic comedy drama due on ITV1 soon.

Telling the story of three couples and also starring Ralf Little, Lucy Davis, Shaun Dooley, Amanda Abbington and Dean Lennox Kelly.

Miranda plays single model Abbey, with a very different look to MI5’s Jo Portman (pictured above).

For one thing she has long hair. And for another, she wears dresses.

THE seeds were planted last year.

Long before series eight, episode four.

The one where Lucas North (Richard Armitage) and his past collide.

And he also visits Waterstone’s bookshop in London’s Piccadilly.

“WHO doesn’t want to be a dead billionaire?”

That’s the nightmare game show at the heart of Spooks episode three.

Along with very angry man in black Lucas North (Richard Armitage) having that fight in a swimming pool.

And something that may come as a shock to those viewers unfamiliar with The Way Spooks Works.
