Humphrey and Martha had a nail-biting will-they-won’t-they romance which reached its emotional finale in Saint Marie in 2017

Viewers were delighted when Humphrey took control of his destiny and followed Martha back to London to declare his undying love for her.

Now the couple embark on a new adventure as they arrive in Shipton Abbott, Martha’s hometown near the beautiful Devonshire coast, having left London.

As they embark on their new life whilst temporarily living with Martha’s mum Anne Lloyd (Barbara), the couple are quickly thrown in at the deep end as Martha sets out to pursue her dream of running her own restaurant and Humphrey joins the local police force.

Quickly making an impression on the somewhat eclectic team; DS Esther Williams, PC Kelby Hartford and Margo Martins, Humphrey sets out to help crack a host of baffling cases.

His arrival soon sees the Shipton Abbott squad witnessing a whole new approach to police work.

Each week the team will face a new crime with a unique puzzle at its heart.

The not-so-sleepy town of Shipton Abbott will be rocked by an entire family disappearing without a trace, a woman claiming she was attacked by a suspect from the seventeenth century, the robbery of a highly prized painting, a body bizarrely discovered in a crop circle and a serial arsonist with a seeming distaste for local businesses.

As Humphrey gets stuck into his new job, he and Martha must also navigate life’s ups and downs, as faces from the past, the decisions they make and challenges of setting up life in a new town put their relationship to the ultimate test.

Beyond Paradise begins on Friday February 24 on BBC One.
