Beyond Paradise's Kris Marshall and Sally Bretton on their 'heartwarming' Christmas special

A still from the Beyond Paradise Christmas special showing Humphrey (Kris Marshall) and Martha (Sally Bretton) standing in a crowd at the Shipton Abbott Christmas market. To the left of Humphrey in the crowd are Esther (Zahra Ahmadi) and her daughter Zoe (Melina Sinadinou). There is a Christmas tree at the back of the crowd and large decorations hanging overhead.

Beyond Paradise became an instant favorite with viewers this year when it launched back in February. And it was quickly confirmed that Beyond Paradise season 2 was on the way and a Beyond Paradise Christmas special!

The first series of the Death in Paradise spin-off saw DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton) move to her (fictional) hometown of Shipton Abbott in Devon, where Martha opened her own café and Humphrey took charge of the local police station. The pair were hoping to conceive a child via IVF, but when the treatment failed to result in a pregnancy, they briefly split up when Martha feared Humphrey would resent her for the fact that they couldn't be parents — but the series ended with the couple reconciled after agreeing that the two of them could be a family by themselves, and looking forward to the future together.
