BBC Beyond Paradise fans spot Neville Parker nod after show exit
BBC Beyond Paradise fans spot Neville Parker nod after show exit
A Death in Paradise fan has spotted a nod to former detective Neville Parker in the latest episode of the spin-off series, Beyond Paradise
In the latest episode of Beyond Paradise, fans noticed a subtle reference to Death in Paradise detective Neville Parker, portrayed by Ralf Little.
The spin-off series is set to conclude on Friday, leaving viewers eager to see how the narrative involving Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton) will unfold.
The recent episode saw the detective embroiled in a skydiving mishap. Initially, he was supposed to accompany Martha's mother, Anne (Barbara Flynn), but due to a prior injury, she could not participate at the last moment.
True to his character, Humphrey didn't land as planned. Instead, he accidentally knocked out his skydiving instructor and found himself hanging from a bridge, caught by his parachute.

This isn't the first time Humphrey has found himself in such a predicament. In the inaugural episode of Beyond Paradise, he ended up in a similar situation, except that time he was suspended from a tree.

During this scene, an observant fan spotted a reference to former detective Neville Parker, reports the Express.
On a Facebook fan page, one viewer asked, "Was it me, or was there a little nod to Neville Parker and his utter fear of skydiving with Humphrey taking on the task?"
Another fan concurred: "Yes, partly that and partly just Humphrey being Humphrey. Remember the first time he met Esther? Stuck up that tree."

A third chimed in humorously: "Hanging off Tamar Bridge."
Ralf Little bid farewell to Death in Paradise last year, with his character Neville Parker making way for Don Gilet's new DI, Mervin Wilson.
Viewers will recall how Neville was terrified of virtually everything on the island and had a very limited diet, sticking mainly to chicken and chips.
The conclusion of series three of Beyond Paradise remains to be seen, but the preview for Friday's episode suggests intrigue: "When nurse Lucy vanishes on her way to work, suspicion falls on Josh Woods - Kelby's rival."
The plot thickens as the narrative continues, "However, after Josh receives a chilling voicemail, the team starts to suspect that something far more sinister is at play. In the recording, Lucy can be heard shouting 'devil'' followed by a beastly growl."

The mystery deepens with the question, "Could the legend of the Devil's Hump hold a vital clue to solving her disappearance? As the case intensifies, Humphrey finds himself torn between the personal and professional. With Rosie's birthday fast approaching, he and Martha are determined to throw her the perfect party."
Beyond Paradise airs on Friday at 8pm on BBC One.

Emotional Daisy May Cooper breaks down in floods of tears live on Loose Women "It felt the natural step for them both, and their friends and family are made up for them." Best BBC comedies A BBC boss called on the industry to "save our sitcoms", but the corporation has a history of fantastic shows. We look back at some of the best to ever grace the screen. Fawlty Towers (1975-1979) - Only two series were made of the beloved institution. However, the cultural impact of the series starring John Cleese and Connie Booth spans decades. It follows rude and intolerant Basil Fawlty (Cleese) as he attempts to improve the reputation of his hotel. Only Fools and Horses (1981-2003) - The show was crowned by some as the best British sitcom of all time by a TV poll in 2004. Seven series were broadcast on BBC until 1991 with additional sporadic Christmas specials airing until 2003. Sir David Jason starred as ambitious market trader Derek "Del Boy" Trotter whilst Nicholas Lyndhurst played his younger half-brother Rodney. Set in working-class Peckham in south-east London, it follows the highs and lows of the lives of the Trotters', in particular their brazen attempts to get rich. Blackadder (1983 - 1989) - Four series were made of the iconic show, created by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson. Each series spans a different historical period as anti-hero Edmund Blackadder (Atkinson) tries to better himself in each society. Accompanied by his dogsbody Baldrick (Tony Robinson), trouble always ensues. A TV poll in 2004 found that Blackadder was voted the second-best British sitcom of all time Absolutely Fabulous (1992 - 2012) - Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley star as failing PR guru Edina 'Eddie' Monsoon and alcoholic fashionista Patsy Stone. The pair embark on heavy-drinking sessions and abuse drugs in a desperate attempt to stay 'hip'. Eddie constantly chases bizarre fads and fails to lose weight whilst her disappointed and neglected daughter Saffy (Julia Sawalha) looks on. Little Britain (2003 - 2006) - The premise is simple. A sketch show which features different British people from all walks of life that are engaged in all sorts of comical scenarios. Starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams, the pair created iconic pop culture characters. Viewers loved obnoxious council estate teenager Vicky Pollard, morbidly obese scrounger Bubbles Devere, slimming coach Marjorie Dawes, despondent office worker Carol Beer, disgraced politician Sir Norman Fry, of course the iconic Lou and Andy! The Catherine Tate Show (2004-2015) - A sketch show starring the likes of Catherine Tate. She made iconic characters such as rowdy schoolgirl Lauren Cooper with her line 'Am I bovvered?'. Other characters featured Bernie the nurse, the aga saga woman, complaining couple Janice and Ray, and of course her infamous 'Nan', Joannie Taylor. The last character herself spawned multiple specials and even a movie. Gavin and Stacey (2007 - Present) The series tells the story of Gavin (Matthew Horne) and Stacey (Joanna Page). The pair embarked on an online and telephone romance for six months. But when they finally decide to be together properly, their friends and family get in the way. Ruth Jones and James Corden created the beloved show, which has been going for over a decade. The 2019 Christmas special was the most-watched comedy in 17 years and the most-viewed non-sporting event in a decade. 6 Daisy with first husband Will on their wedding day in 2019 Credit: Instagram 6 Daisy has become a comedy legend Credit: Getty
