BBC Beyond Paradise Christmas special: What time it's on, cast and is there a second series?

Beyond Paradise will return to our television screens for a special this Christmas. The Death In Paradise spin-off aired earlier this year and saw Kris Marshall return as DI Humphrey Goodman.

The first episodes of Beyond Paradise followed DI Goodman, who returned after feating in the first series of Death In Paradise, as he attempted to adjust to life with his fiancee Martha Lloyd on the Devonshire coast.

The first series of Beyond Paradise saw Goodman start his new life away from Saint Marie – the fictional Caribbean island on which the original series is set - in the sleepy town of Shipton Abbott.
