DS Camille Bordey: Don't you have chickens in London?
DI Richard Poole: Yes, we do... wrapped in cellophane...
Featured review
Nuns always add that little something to a mystery.
An Unholy Death is another excellent early episode of Death in Paradise. As I watch these early episodes I'm struck by the sheer quality, yes there was humour, but the more serious side was darker, harder edged. It's definitely amusing, but they're not sending the show up at any point, this is very, very good drama. The story is great, it sees young Therese killed by leaving a cigarette lit in her bedroom, it's a great story line, with a surprising outcome. Fabulous performances from the British stalwarts, Gemma Jones and Kenneth Cranham lead the way, but the main players are great also. I had forgotten just how good Ben Miller was in them.
A great watch. 9/10
