![]() ![]() And if you ever see her walking, it’s a wide shot, and it’s a double.” Sara Martins’ character DS Camille Bordey also suddenly discovered a passion for wide-legged cargo trousers, as can be seen in some of the promo pics for the series. So in episodes six through eight of series one, you only ever see Sara lift herself up or down into or out of a chair. “Then for the rest of the series, we could write her, as long as she never walked or moved in any way. We’d also written out Richard Poole in that episode so that Ben could come home and have a bit of a break. Thorogood recalls getting a phone call with the bad news: “For starters, she couldn’t be in episode five at all, because she’d broken her leg and was in hospital. Sara Martins broke her leg during filming for series one, although it was successfully kept hidden on screen. I think if he’d been in an episode the year before, that might have been trickier.”Ħ. If you believe that the person is right for the role, the fact he was in one episode in series two didn’t seem that big an impediment. But the longer the show goes on, the more you have to look at your rules and interrogate them. We never reuse the same location, and we never reuse the same guest actors, and all that sort of thing. The show’s current lead actor appeared in a 2013 episode as a character called “Will Teague”, but enough time was judged to have passed so that it wouldn’t be jarring for viewers. DI Neville Parker actor Ralf Little guest starred as someone else in in series two – but that didn’t matter. We were like, ‘We have to secure this a little bit more now.'”ĥ. Key explains: “We’ve had years where we’ve left it to the elements, and then people were having parties in it at weekends, like tourists having parties. But in recent years they’ve had to go further and fence the whole thing off. The DI’s rustic home on the beach gets put up and taken down for each season, and packed away into storage until Death in Paradise returns. The shack on the beach now has to be protected from partygoers. ![]() And then when we did get on it to take the stuff off, somewhere in transit, someone had broken into it and stolen all the cabling. You could literally see the ship but you couldn’t get to it to take the stuff off. “And when it finally arrived – which was, I think, a week into the shoot, and we’d had to busk it for the first week – there was then a strike at the port in Guadeloupe, so the shipping container arrived, but we weren’t allowed to get on it to take anything off. I think there might have been a costume truck on it. There was a tracker where you could see where the boat was, this huge shipping container, and it wasn’t moving. Key recalls: “The boat broke down in the middle of the Atlantic, and it sat still in the middle of the Atlantic for about three weeks. And before filming for series two, everything went wrong. All the equipment used to make the show once got stuck at sea on the way to Guadeloupe. In the early years of Death in Paradise, there was very little filming infrastructure on the island, so everything had to be shipped out there for the production to use – including an electrical generator. Instead of the Death in Paradise theme song most of us associate so strongly with the show (a cover of You’re Wondering Now, arranged by Magnus Fiennes), the first few seasons of the French version of Death in Paradise had Sunday Shining by Finlay Quaye as the theme tune.ģ. Death in Paradise originally had a different theme tune in France. ![]()
