For over ten years and more than 100 episodes, Death in Paradise has delivered fans an irresistible cocktail of sun, sea and sin - demonstrating through a succession of murder mysteries that the ugly side of human nature is ever present, even in the beautiful setting of the Caribbean. Watching over events from the very start and overseeing the activities of the show’s changing cast of leading detective inspectors has been Police Commissioner Selwyn Patterson, played by the much-loved actor Don Warrington. Here, Don joins forces with acclaimed TV writer and producer of Death in Paradise Tony Jordan to look back on the show’s origins, share some stories from behind the scenes and discuss what it is - beside the beaches and blue skies - that has made the series such an enduring hit.
