A familiar face is back in Beyond Paradise and he becomes a suspect in the latest missing person case.
Humphrey Goodman and Esther Williams are on a new case
Beyond Paradise returns to BBC One for its final episode of season three and it sees Josh Woods make a comeback. When nurse Lucy vanishes on her way to work, suspicion immediately falls on Josh.
However, after Josh receives a worrying voicemail, the team suspects something more sinister has happened. In the recording, Lucy is heard shouting "devil" and there is a beastly growl.
Familiar with the legend of the Devil's Hump, there are fears it could hold a clue. As the investigation continues, Humphrey Goodman (played by Kris Marshall) finds himself torn between his personal and professional life.
He and Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton) are preparing to throw Rosie (Bella Rei Blue Stevenson) the perfect party for her birthday. The finale welcomes back all the main cast, including DS Esther Williams (Zahra Ahmadi) and PC Kelby Hartford (Dylan Llewellyn).

I swapped a freezing burger van for sunkissed beach on the trail of gold robbers, says director
Team uncovered a new angle in the case while filming GOLDEN SANDS I swapped a freezing burger van for sunkissed beach on the trail of gold robbers, says director Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WRITER Neil Forsyth has revealed how he flipped his life around after swapping a burger van in Dundee for filming with an all-star cast in Tenerife. The Scot's second series of The Gold, with Hugh Bonneville portraying real-life detective Brian Boyce on the trail of the Brink's-Mat robbers, returns to BBC One tonight. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 The team headed for Tenerife for season two 2 Neil Forsyth and Hugh Bonneville attended a preview screening of the new series And this time it was filmed mostly on the sun-kissed Canary Isle - in stark contrast to Neil's first TV series in 2013, Bob Servant Independent, which saw Brian Cox star as a self-styled burger van mogul. Neil says: 'I remember filming a scene with Bob Servant where it was set on the beach and it was supposed to be a summer's day but it was actually p***ing down in Dundee. 'I felt so sorry for these poor extras pretending to build sandcastles as they could barely get their spades into the sand because it was so frozen. 'So, yeah, to go from there to filming on a Tenerife beach has been a bit of a journey.' The first series of The Gold in 2023 saw DCI Boyce pursue violent criminal Kenneth Noye (Jack Lowden) - the mastermind behind the biggest gold robbery of all-time, when a gang stole three tonnes of the precious metal from a security depot near Heathrow Airport in 1983. Meanwhile, the second instalment centres on real-life criminal John Palmer (Tom Cullen) - nicknamed Goldfinger - who was tried and acquitted of the Brink's-Mat robbery in 1987. And that sees Boyce follow the loot around the world, leading the cast to relocate to the Canaries. Neil explains: 'Tenerife is an interesting place. There's lots of nooks and crannies that look very different. So we managed to eke out five countries from one location. 'So we spent half the shoot out there as we had it doubling as the British Virgin Islands, mainland Spain, Burma, Costa Rica and Tenerife itself.' But while so much of the action from the first series was well documented through Old Bailey trials and police investigations, Neil and his team had to delve deep to find leads for the new series. Trailer for The Gold series inspired by the iconic true story of the Brink's-Mat robbery Neil explains: 'A lot of the criminals we feature in this series didn't actually get caught for their crimes. 'So there weren't any court proceedings to work off. We call one of the key criminals in this series Logan Campbell, who is played by Tom Hughes. 'But he was inspired by a guy we discovered who ended up going into American witness protection. Again none of this ever came out publicly.' And Neil, 47, even found out that the bounty may have been hidden in an abandoned tin mine. He says: 'We came across a tiny news clipping in the archives that one of the gang hid the gold down a Cornish tin mine. Cornish police even looked into it at the time. 'I am still in touch with Brian Boyce, the real-life cop Hugh Bonneville plays, and I mentioned the mine to him. 'He said he had never heard that theory before but then said one of the robbers had close links to that area so it was entirely possible. 'It was really quite exciting. It's almost like you're making breakthroughs in the case 40 years later.' The married dad-of-one was raised in Broughty Ferry, near Dundee, where he began his writing career in his early teens, contributing articles to the Dundee Utd fanzine. His big break came in 2010 with the publication of his first Bob Servant comedy novel featuring hilarious responses to real internet scamsters. Succession actor Brian Cox then agreed to provide the voice of Bob for radio, before it was made into a BBC series with Jonathan Watson starring as his long-suffering pal Frank. Neil then wrote three seasons of the award-winning Beeb crime drama Guilt before going onto the big-budget series The Gold. He says: 'I feel very fortunate as I am kind of going from a production to a production, which is an amazing thing. 'But you know I worked for a long time to get to this point and there were lots of years of failure and rejection and worries about money and everything else.' One of those failures was in 2003 when he blew his life savings buying tartan bunnets in bulk to sell at Edinburgh's Hogmanay street party - only for the celebrations to be cancelled at the last minute due to high winds. He recalls: 'I woke up on New Year's Day in 2004 with 5,000 tartan bunnets in the flat that had cost me £3,000, which was all the money I had at that time. 'What did I do with them? I sold them to a tourist shop on the Royal Mile for a third of what I paid for them a week before.' LEGENDS NEIL is currently working on his latest big-budget series - about a bunch of true-life British customs crime-busters. The Scot is the creator of Legends, which stars Steve Coogan and which will be screened on Netflix next year. And he hopes his story about customs employees sent undercover will be a winner with viewers after he had a clandestine meeting with one of the real-life officers. He says: 'It's a true story set in the 90s about these customs officers who are given minimal training but are then sent undercover into the international drugs world. 'The false identities they came up with were called their legend. So that's why the show's called Legends. 'I met one of the main guys who'd done the undercover work. He wouldn't give us his real name and I went to meet him for a kind of clandestine lunch - it all came from there.' And Neil was delighted to work with his 'hero' Coogan, 59, filming up to 16 hours-a-day on a London council estate. He adds: 'I am the writer and also the showrunner so it's full on. 'But I'm certainly not moaning about it because it's taken me a long time to get here and now I get to work with heroes of mine like Steve Coogan, who is an absolute acting powerhouse.' However, Neil used that costly experience for a scene in Guilt when Jake McCall (Jamie Sives) buys two thousand Fez hats as part of a get-rich-quick scheme. He adds: 'The thing about being a writer is that everything goes into the work. So many things in my life - good and bad - ends up in there.' But now he's a top showrunner his biggest concern was trying to secure the services of The Gold's lead actor Bonneville. That was in-between the 61-year-old starring as Mr Brown in Paddington in Peru and returning to his role as aristo Robert Crawley in Downton Abbey: The Finale. Neil jokes: 'His schedule was a constant battle between his big stately home and that bloody bear, but somehow we managed to fit him in.' But the Dundee Utd die-hard insists he will never turn his back on his home city no matter where his soaring career takes him. He says: 'I did the half-time draw at Tannedice last year which was absolutely terrifying. I was more nervous doing that than speaking to some of the big Brink's-Mat robbers for sure.'

Netflix fans urged to watch 'incredible' new movie with shock twist
Fans of Netflix have been urged to watch the thriller Straw following its recent addition to the streaming service. Written, directed and produced by Alex Cross star Tyler Perry, the film stars Taraji P. Henson as a single mother who becomes embroiled in a sequence of terrible and violent events as she struggles to care for her ill daughter. The film also stars Jingle All the Way actor and comedian Sinbad, and Precious actress Sherri Shepherd. Released on the streaming service on June 6, the film has already picked up traction among viewers, swiftly moving up the charts to become the platform's most streamed movie in the UK this weekend. Emerging to strong word of mouth from audiences, it has already been described as one of the director's best films to date (admittedly, this mixed-bag of a catalogue does include his Madea and Mrs. Brown's Boys crossover). Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Viewers were particularly vocal about its 'heartbreaking' ending – which featured a twist to the tale which will ensure Straw won't be forgotten in a hurry. After watching, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on what they had just witnessed. 'Straw is such a humbling movie. The rawness was so real and the plot twist was crazy,' wrote she_mego on X. 'What a walk through emotions @tylerperry's STRAW. The plot twist at the end wallowed me up. A good watch indeed!' exclaimed sandra_buma. 'After watching Straw, I no longer know how my heart is feeling. When what gave you purpose is suddenly gone. It speaks to a pain that's hard to name. Raw, emotional, and deeply human. Kudos to the writer… truly outdone🖤' said david_harris_r. 'Tyler Perrys STRAW absolutely incredible i literally cried blown away!' said MelisaWhiskey. From its reviews, critics heaped praise upon star Taraji, with Screen Rant describing her performance as 'an acting masterclass.' 'Straw has a cultural pulse-taking urgency that lifts it above [Tyler Perry's] usual run of comedies and melodramatic potboilers, flawed as it is,' wrote Dennis Harvey of Variety. Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly described the film's emotions as 'so raw and the performances are so earnest that you've really got to have a heart of stone not to care for these people.' Award-winning Taraji – nominated Best Supporting Actress for her performance in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button at 2008's Oscars – previously starred in hit movies The Color Purple and Hidden Figures. Her performance in the film comes two years after she spoke out on the issue of inequality in pay for Hollywood's women of colour. 'I'm just tired of working so hard, being gracious at what I do, getting paid a fraction of the cost,' she told Gayle King on SiriusXM Radio. 'I'm tired of hearing my sisters saying the same thing over and over. You get tired. I hear people go, 'You work a lot.' I have to – the math ain't mathing. 'And when you start working a lot, you have a team. Big bills come with what we do. We don't do this alone. The fact that we're up here, there's a whole entire team behind us. They have to get paid. 'When you hear people saying, 'Oh, such and such made $10million.' That didn't make it to their account. Know that off the top, Uncle Sam is getting 50%. Do the math. 'Now we have $5million – your team is getting 30% off of what you gross, not after what Uncle Sam took. Now do the math.' As the interview went viral, fans and peers in the acting community shared messages of support. 'Not a damn lie told. Not. A. Damn. Lie. We go TO BAT for the next generation and hell even our own generation and above,' wrote Gabrielle Union in response. More Trending 'We don't hesitate to be the change that we all need to see AND it takes a toll on your mind, health, soul, and career if we're keepn it [100]. [Love] u @tarajiphenson. [sic]' 'We feel you, @tarajiphenson and we love you. It's a fight we ALL are waging,' agreed Community star Yvette Nicole Brown. 'For ourselves and for the ones coming up after us. This mess sucks!'

Grieving family of Race Across The World's Sam Gardiner ‘overwhelmed' by support
Sam and his adopted mum Jo delighted fans with their unbreakable bond as they competed in season two of BBC's Race Across The World, in which they ventured across South America together The family of Race Across The World contestant Sam Gardiner have given a heartfelt 'thank you' for the outpouring of love and support they received, after his tragic death last month. As they grieve for their son, his parents have told fans how grateful they are, after more than £10,000 was donated to a fundraising campaign set up in his memory. The 24-year-old, who competed in the BBC One series alongside his mother Jo, died in a horror car crash last month. A JustGiving page launched by his family, in aid of National FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder), has so far raised more than £10,000. His devastated mum Jo said: 'We have been overwhelmed by the tens of thousands of messages of love and support on social media and in comments to press reporting. We would like to thank the BBC, Studio Lambert and everyone at Race Across The World production, fellow contestants and fans of the show for all their support at this terrible time. "It has been very comforting to know that Sam touched so many people. I have been particularly moved by all the messages that Sam was an inspiration to many who have been impacted by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. "We adopted Sam and he was diagnosed with FASD. As viewers of season two will recall, this was a big challenge both for Sam and for us as his parents. "National FASD helped us on that journey. If some good comes of this tragedy, it will be that FASD is better understood." Sam was involved in the devastating road accident last week when his vehicle dramatically careered off the A34 on Monday, 26 May, rolling and ending up on its side, confirmed Greater Manchester Police. He sadly died on May 29 from his injuries. Broadcast in March 2020, Sam and Jo ventured across Mexico and Argentina as part of the second series of the BBC show. Mr Gardiner's father Andrew described Sam as a "beloved son, a cherished brother, and a truly unforgettable soul". He said: 'When the news broke last week, friends asked how they could help. After some thought, I decided to set up a JustGiving page to raise money for National FASD in memory of Sam. The page is called Sam Gardiner; Super Human. 'I set the target at £500 thinking a few friends might be generous enough to make a donation. So far it's raised 20 times that. It's very humbling to see the RATW family rally to this worthy cause.' The National Organisation for FASD says on its official website that it 'provides support to people with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, their families and communities, campaigns to raise public awareness, and promotes relevant policies and practices'. The website also describes FASD as resulting 'when prenatal alcohol exposure affects the developing brain and body." It says: 'FASD is a spectrum. Each person with FASD is affected differently. 'While more than 400 conditions can co-occur, FASD is at its core a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition. All people with FASD have many strengths. Early diagnosis and appropriate support are essential, especially for executive functioning.' A message on the official National FASD Instagram account said: 'Sam lived his life full of love, exuberance and adventure as seen on BBC's Race Across the World. National FASD is both humbled and honoured to help carry on his legacy via donations coming from hundreds.' A private funeral will be held later this month.
