Gavin & Stacey fans stunned as two beloved stars 'reunite' in new BBC murder mystery - gasping 'how am I supposed to take this seriously?!'
Gavin & Stacey fans were left stunned as two beloved stars 'reunited' in a new BBC murder mystery. The six-part series, titled Death Valley, premiered last month and sees DS Janine Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth) join up with TV detective John Chapel (Timothy Spall). It airs every Sunday, and the most recent instalment caught the attention of some viewers. During the episode, DS Janine received a call from her mother, Yvonne, who revealed a member of her walking group had been found dead on a trail. Yvonne was played by Gavin & Stacey star Melanie Walters and her appearance in the new murder series came as a pleasant surprise to fans. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Melanie portrayed Gwen West in Gavin & Stacey, a widowed mother with two children. But she wasn't the only star from the popular sitcom to feature in Death Valley. DS Janine's manager, DCI Barry Clarke, is played by Steffan Rhodri who starred as bus driver Dave Coaches in the BBC comedy. Fans recognised the pair and took to social media to share their surprise. One posted on X: 'Not sure I can take #DeathValley seriously what with Dave coaches as a copper & now Gwen… All we need next is Ness appearing.' Another added: 'Dave coaches and Gwen?! When is Nessa going to make an appearance?! #deathvalley.' While according to the Express, someone else penned: 'OMG Gwen and Dave Coaches!' One fan spotted Steffan in the first episode and posted: 'Lol Dave coaches #deathvalley.' Others praised the new series and gushed: 'Absolutely loving #DeathValley on BBC One. So much fun and comedy, Timothy Spall and Gwyneth Keyworth are just brilliant! Series 2 please!' Fans recognised the pair and took to social media to share their surprise, while others praised the new series However, the first instalment was hit with some backlash from viewers who last week switched off the broadcaster's new crime drama 'after five minutes' and complained 'this is absolute rubbish'. One posted on X: '#deathvalley #BBC is so dreadful on every level. The woman detective is beyond irritating and embarrassing.' 'The problems with comedy police programs like this is how they suddenly come up with such a long winded explanation of the murder without actually showing us during the program how they would come to it. #deathvalley,' another penned.

Kris Marshall reveals which Love Actually co-star is joining the cast of his hit BBC series Beyond Paradise - and shares how viewers can guess the killer in every episode
Kris Marshall is in Australia promoting the new season of hit BBC series Beyond Paradise. And the British actor, who stars in Beyond Paradise, says a familiar face is set to crop up on the murder mystery show. Marshall, who rose to fame in the 2003 film Love Actually, says his co-star Abdul Salis, who played his best mate Tony in the comedy, will soon appear in Beyond Paradise. 'I had only seen him once in 24 years' the 52-year-old said on Sunday's episode of The Project. 'It's a beautiful thing about being an actor. You pick up where you left off. It's kind of symbiotic. I love it. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'So, he came in and did a guest thing and we're all a bit older and, you know, we're not very much wiser. We're all good.' Marshall appeared to hint that Salis won't be the killer in the episode, but stopped himself before giving a little too much away. 'I don't think he's... I'm not going to give any spoilers!' he said with a laugh. Marshall also gave audiences for the mystery murder series, which streams on BritBox Down Under, a major clue on how to crack each case. He joked that viewers tend to guess who the killer is each episode before his character, bumbling Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman, manages to do so - and there is a surefire way to work out whodunnit. 'When I first started, I used this thing I called the Scooby Doo algorithm - it's always the second person they meet' he said, but conceded, 'some are more complex.' 'It taught me our audiences are better at solving the crimes than I am. That is weird. I literally have the scripts... I'm absolutely awful at it' he said. Marshall played Detective Goodman first in the hit BBC series Death in Paradise and then in its equally popular spin off Beyond Paradise , which has just returned for a third series. At age 27 played the hopeless fop Colin Frissell in 2003's Love Actually, which made him pretty huge. His character heads for Wisconsin, where his English accent is enough to get him into bed with January Jones, Elisha Cuthbert, Denise Richards and Shannon Elizabeth. Marshall took over solving murder mysteries on a Caribbean island in 2014 from Ben Miller, the show's first star – and he proved such a ratings success they created Beyond Paradise specifically for him, in damp Devon. Yet when he first auditioned for Death in Paradise in 2013 they turned him down flat. 'I didn't even make the final four,' he says. Newly married, with a three-month-old baby and his US sitcom Traffic Light recently ended, he needed a job. Then, 'Ten days later they phoned to say, 'We've made a mistake' and that changed ten years of my life.' In an age of falling viewing figures, Death in Paradise
