Murders in Paradise tonight on France 2: why tonight’s episode will be like no other

It’s Christmas in Murder in Paradise in a new episode airing tonight on France 2! And it’s not just any episode you’re going to discover from 9.10pm, as it will be the first without Neville Parker. Indeed, Ralph Little, who played the character for years, decided to leave the series.

Don Gillette commits murders in paradise

So it’s time to meet Don Gillette, who takes up the torch in this new chapter called “Who Wants to Kill Santa Claus?” In this exciting investigation, he plays the character of Mervyn Wilson. But then, what would this Christmas-style investigation be about?

According to France TV, when two Santas were found dead on the beach with a bullet to the heart, and a third appeared at the police station with a deep wound in the arm, the police were puzzled. Who could want the death of this figure inseparable from Christmas?

Especially since Neville Parker is gone, no one seems good enough to solve the case. But luckily, the English inspector, Mervyn Wilson, is currently on holiday in St. Maries, and his boss immediately calls him in to investigate.

But will he be able to finish this job? Indeed, it is not easy for him to get used to the functioning and rhythm of the island, which is very different from the hustle and bustle of London to which he is accustomed. So this special episode will allow Don Gillette to take his first steps in the series.

“I was very excited and absolutely terrified”

And the least we can say is that the actor has put some real pressure on himself, as he confided to our colleagues at Digital Spy: “I’m sure it will come as no surprise to you that I was both extremely excited and absolutely terrified!”

He continues: “I wondered what I was getting myself into, but it was exciting because I knew I was starting a whole new adventure.” So I recommend not to miss this first episode of the series Murders in Paradise Without Neville Parker will be broadcast on France 2 tonight.
