Death In Paradise spin-off Return To Paradise is now filming on location in Australia. Here are the details.
The thirteenth series of Robert Thorogood’s long-running crime drama Death In Paradise recently concluded, with Ralf Little leaving the show. His replacement has not yet been announced, but what is being dubbed ‘The Paraverse’ is expanding once again.
The first spin-off, Beyond Paradise, is in the midst of its second series. Developed by Thorogood and Hustle creator Tony Jordan, Kris Marshall reprises the role of Humphrey Goodman, who solves crimes in the fictional town of Shipton Abbott, near Devon.
The second is Return To Paradise. It was announced last year, but now the BBC have revealed details of the plot and characters. The synopsis reads as follows:
Return to Paradise follows Di Mackenzie Clarke (Anna Samson), an Australian ex-pat who’s made a name for herself in London’s Metropolitan Police for cracking uncrackable murder cases.

Marta Dusseldorp in ‘Wentworth’ (Photo credit: Sarah Enticknap).
In a world away from A Place to Call Home, Marta Dusseldorp has donned the prison track suit with a guest role in Foxtel’s Wentworth, which resumes shooting this week.
Her character Sheila Bausch, a senior figure in the True Path cult, is on remand, charged with the murder of nine people at the cult’s retreat.
Described as highly intelligent, charismatic and manipulative, Sheila worked as the personal secretary for True Path’s founder Dr Mendel (Brian Vriends).
The Fremantle production re-starts after shutting down on March 23, just before a planned hiatus. The show has the advantage of being shot in its own large building in Melbourne, which has the flexibility of moving scenes set in a small cell to a bigger cell.

Kate Box and Zoe Terakes on the ‘Wentworth’ set.
The time when cis-gender people could play transgender characters on screen is fast disappearing, according to Zoe Terakes.
“I’ve never seen a cis-gender person tell a transgender story 100 per cent believably,” the young actor, who identifies as non-binary, tells If.
“There is a level of authenticity in representation that comes when you have somebody who gets it, feels it in their bones and they have lived it.”
Terakes has joined the cast of season eight and nine of Fremantle/Foxtel’s Wentworth playing Rebel ‘Reb’ Keane, who is terrified after being sentenced to prison.
Reb was born female, came to feel she was trapped in a man’s body and now identifies as a female-to-trans man.
Reb’s parents send Reb to a cult-like “rehabilitation” clinic in an effort to “cure” their “daughter,” which has echoes of Joel Edgerton’s feature Boy Erased.

‘My Life is Murder.’
Cjz’s private investigator series My Life is Murder and Closer Productions’ four-part drama The Hunting have been acquired by UK broadcasters.
Multi-channel operator UKTV will screen the 10-part Cjz production, which follows Lucy Lawless as former homicide cop Alexa Crowe as she investigates baffling and bizarre murders, on its crime drama channel Alibi.
Directed by Leah Purcell, Mat King and Jovita O’Shaugnessy and produced by Elisa Argenzio and Cjz head of development Claire Tonkin, the series premiered on Network 10 on Wednesday night.
The first episode drew 482,000 viewers in the mainland capitals, trailing Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell’s 495,000, despite the fact the ABC mistakenly put to air the previous week’s episode of Micallef.
However the 7-day and 28-day figures for 10’s murder-mystery are bound to be a lot higher. The consolidated total for Five Bedrooms, for example, was 642,000 in the five metros,...

(L-r): Nadine Garner, Sophie Wright, Nick Russell, Stephen Curry and Paul Denny in ‘Mr Black’.
Cjz MD Nick Murray and CEO Matt Campbell are grappling with three major issues facing the screen industry as the company ramps up its production and development slates.
They identify the challenges as the rising cost of drama budgets; a shortage of top-class writers given the talent drain to the Us and UK; and finding original concepts for factual and factual entertainment shows.
Murray questions why drama is more expensive to produce than comedy, observing: “I don’t know that the additional money that goes into drama is necessarily visible on screen to the audience.
“The costs of drama are going up and we need to be making it cheaper. There are work practices which make it impossible to make drama at the price it should be made at. We should be employing people differently or with more flexibility,...

Glen Dolman has drawn on a painful personal experience in scripting I Met a Girl, an uplifting romantic comedy-drama to be directed by Luke Eve.
Co-funded by Screen Australia, Screenwest, Create Nsw and Soundfirm, the plot will follow Devon, an aspiring musician with schizophrenia who is in love with the mysterious Lucy. When she vanishes, he takes off across the country to find her, forcing his brother to try to rescue him.
“I started writing this more than 10 years ago when I was struggling to process the death of a close friend who had suffered from a serious mental illness,” Dolman tells If.
“In doing research for another project, I met a beautiful couple who both suffered from schizophrenia but were coping and thriving despite their illnesses. They joked about only having one psychotic breakdown at a time.

Ryan Corr and Rachael Taylor in ‘Ladies in Black.’ (Photo: Ben King)
Ryan Corr played a lot of comedic roles earlier in his career before telling his agent, “I don’t want to play the clown all the time.”
Bruce Beresford’s Ladies in Black enabled the actor to show his comedy chops after a raft of dramatic roles in such movies as Stephen McCallum’s upcoming 1%, Mary Magdalene, Hacksaw Ridge, Holding the Man and TV shows Cleverman, Wanted and Love Child.
He plays Rudi, a debonair, cultured immigrant with a dark past from Hungary who is keen to date Australian women and sets his sights on department store worker Fay (Rachael Taylor) in the 1959-set comedy/drama which opens on Thursday.
Rudi has a lot of amusing lines but there is an edge to the character: Beresford wants audiences to question Rudi’s intentions and whether he is trustworthy until late in the narrative.

Australia’s two-time Oscar-nominated actress Jacki Weaver heads the cast of sci-fi series “Bloom.” An original commission for Australian streaming platform Stan, the six-part series is produced by Sony Pictures Television’s Playmaker.
The story takes place a year after a devastating flood has killed five locals in an idyllic country town, and when a mysterious new plant appears. The plant’s phenomenal ability to restore youth is so formidable that attempting to harness it means re-evaluating values. It is a miracle some will kill to keep secret.
With finance from Stan and federal funding body Screen Australia, production is now under way in Victoria state. Sony Pictures Television will distribute outside Australia.
The series is created by Glen Dolman. Production is by Sue Seeary and shot by Aacta-winning cinematographer Geoff Hall. The series is directed by John Curran and Mat King.

The Tardis. On the surface, just a rickety old police box. On the inside, an enormous, magnificent machine that can take you anywhere you want in time and space. The Tardis is shorthand for Doctor Who, along with Daleks, Cybermen, scarves and bow ties.
So it's nice to see another tale that explores the potential of this awesome icon. Journey To The Centre Of The Tardis was a Doctor Who fan's paradise, with scores of past references and continuity nods. There are soundbites from An Unearthly Child, Colony In Space, The Robots of Death and Rose. We get to see the swimming pool and the workshop again (as seen in The Invasion Of Time), not to mention an observatory and a brand new library the size of Mexico. The Eye Of Harmony is seen in all its glory, a product of Time Lord engineering. And don't forget the many, many corridors.

She’s the only character on the show to appear in almost every episode. She’s the Tardis and she’s as important to the series as The Doctor himself. So it’s nice when we get a story that features her in a major way.

The Tardis is a wonderful creation. It’s the second best invention of the series, after regeneration, which is just too handy not to have at number one. It’s a living, sentient, ever changing space/time ship that, as explored in season six’s fantastic “The Doctor’s Wife”, has been the most constant and perfectly matched Companion for the Doctor since the series premiered in 1963. Given the constraints of television however, particularly on the tight budget this series has almost always struggled with, for most of the series’ history, the camera has stayed out of the interior of the Tardis,...

We were promised, back at the launch for the second half of Doctor Who series 7, that Journey To The Centre Of The Tardis would deliver on its title. That it would take us deep into the throes of the Doctor's vessel, and wouldn't cheat us by quickly building some stuff in a warehouse and passing it off as the Tardis. You'd be hard pushed to say, on that count at least, that we'd been let down.

The next episode of Doctor Who, Journey to the Centre of the Tardis is a geek oasis. Prepare to squeal...
Journey To The Centre Of The Tardis. Just the name of it suggests geek gold, and inevitably, it's wise to approach such potential treasure with just a hint of restraint. The true professional, therefore, would keep their own excitement in check, and try and put across a rounded flavour of what to expect in a grown-up, mature way. That's the least you should reasonably expect.
Sadly, you got me, and thus you've got no chance.
Therefore, it's best to declare from the outset that I've got a natural leaning towards Tardis episodes. Especially Tardis episodes that, you sense, are set to be referenced by Who a good decade or two into the future. Journey To The Centre Of The Tardis is the big rummage...
