DEATH In Paradise fans have flagged a ‘missed opportunity’ and taken aim at spin-off series Beyond Paradise.
The offshoot series follows DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and fiancee Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton) as they move to Martha’s hometown of Shipton Abbott, Devon.
From there, former Death In Paradise lead Humphrey joins the small local police force.
The cast also includes Martha’s mother Anne (Barbara Flynn), DS Esther Williams (Zahra Ahmadi), office support Margo Martins (Felicity Montagu) and PC Kelby Hartford (Derry Girls star Dylan Lllewelyn).
However, according to some fans, another name ought to be fronting the line-up.

Viewers have highlighted the ‘missed opportunity’ of not having DI Jack Mooney as part of the Beyond Paradise cast.
Played by Father Ted star Ardal O’Hanlon, Jack was Humphrey's successor on Saint Marie.
The Irish-born detective stayed on the island for three years until he was replaced by Ralf Little's Neville Parker, who has now also left.
Unusually for Death In Paradise, Humphrey and Jack crossed paths before Humphrey left the BBC hit show.
Humphrey, DS Florence Cassell (Josephine Jobert) and Officer Dwayne Myers (Danny John-Jules) met Jack when they came to London during a case.
In fact, Humphrey and Jack's past on-screen dynamic is among the reasons fans are eager for the pair to reunite, or wish that Jack had been part of Beyond Paradise from the get-go.
Taking to the Beyond Paradise subreddit, one fan posted: “Everytime I get to the end of season 6 of [Death In Paradise] I think that it was a missed opportunity we didn't get Humphrey and Mooney together in the spin off.”
Other viewers were quick to share their agreement, with one writing: “I still wonder if they'll bring Jack to guest star in Beyond Paradise. They had great chemistry together.”
A fellow viewer shared: “It would be fun if they brought Mooney on for some cases.”
Another commented: “I still wonder if they'll bring Jack to guest star in Beyond Paradise. They had great chemistry together.”
