Death in Paradise may have wrapped up recently, but one Beyond Paradise is in full swing, with one star sharing details of a sweet cast reunion.
Felicity Montagu, who plays Margo Martins on the BBC show, discussed her time on Beyond Paradise on live TV today.
The 65-year-old actress appeared as a guest on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, which is hosted by Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer.
Speaking about the Death in Paradise spin-off, which she has starred in since 2023, Felicity reflected: “I think the acting’s very good in it.
“I’ve acted for 43 years and I know when I’m acting with someone when I think it’s vacuous and nothing’s happening, and everyone’s really doing their job.
“It’s brilliantly directed and produced, and with Tony Jordan at the helm I just feel very, very safe.”
Tim and Simon then showed a clip of Felicity acting opposite Derry Girls star Dylan Llewellyn, who plays Constable Kelby Hartford on the BBC mystery show.
After the scene ended, the host praised Dylan as “such a lovely bloke”, prompting Felicity to reveal that a cast reunion is happening very soon.
“Yes, he is,” she agreed, “We’re all meeting up in a couple of weeks’ time, which is very nice.”
Asked where the show is based, Felicity confirmed: “In Devon. Shipton Abbott, it’s called in the programme.”
However, she then confirmed that the show is really filmed in Looe, which is located in Cornwall.
“It’s great,” she continued, “The fish mongers have gone really upmarket since we’ve been there…
“And I was going to talk to them because I thought their prices had gone up, but then I thought I’d better not start,” she quipped.
Beyond Paradise is set to return this Friday at 8pm, which is good news for fans missing Death in Paradise, which concluded its latest season two weeks ago.
Elsewhere on Sunday Brunch, Simon and Tim interviewed Keith Lemon comedian Leigh Francis and his wife Jill Carter, who admitted she was “nervous” about making her on-screen debut.
Trainspotter and social media star Francis Bourgeois was also included in today’s line-up, while Marvel actor Fra Fee and singer Jordan Rakei also appeared as guests.
Sunday Brunch airs every Sunday at 10am on Channel 4.
