Down on St Marie, there isn’t much tension, because the storyline is so ropey.
-
It's a fruity cocktail of all the things we're missing: sun, sea, sand and frivolity.
-
It’s still an easy watch and the returning characters feel like old friends, from Don Warrington as the Commissioner to Tobi Bakare as the enthusiastic JP. There was a welcome return for Joséphine Jobert as DS Florence Cassell.

It is a steady hand, sometimes silly, vaguely taxing and utterly dependable. In the nicest possible way, the cast is irrelevant: you get the sense that it would thrive, no matter which familiar TV face was at the front of it. It is a crime show wrapped up in a dad joke, with lovely scenery, and it offers up all the satisfaction of finishing a crossword.
