Death in Paradise opens with us seeing Officer Lily Thomson (Lenora Crichlow) for the first time. She's billed as "the long-suffering rock at the heart of the Royal Saint-Marie Police force". She interrupts a man playing basketball. The man in question is Officer Dwayne Myers (Danny John-Jules) who then speaks the first-ever line in Death in Paradise which is "Oh, man!". We head to Saint Marie police station where Fidel Best (Gary Carr) is there with a man and a goat. "I'm sorry sir time's up. If she was your goat she'd have gone to you. This goat remains unclaimed," he says. Also in the station is DI Charlie Hulme (Hugo Speer).
