Line 1: {{work\|wppage=Death in Paradise (TV series)}} ~~{{work}}~~ [[File:death_in_paradise_tree3_1316.jpg\|frame]] '''''Death in Paradise''''' is a crime drama premiering in 2011, a joint Anglo-French production between [[The BBC]] and France Télévisions. Created by Robert Thorogood, it stars Ben Miller of ''[[Armstrong And Miller]]'' as Richard Poole, a straitlaced London Met policeman who is assigned to a case on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie (played by French overseas département Guadaloupe). [[Status Quo Is God]] kicks in and Poole ends up sticking around for further cases and struggling to adapt to the different climate and working methods as a [[Fish Out of Water]]. His partner and rival is Camille Bordey, a detective sergeant on loan from the Guadaloupe police played by French actress Sara Martins. As of 2021, it has aired for ten series of eight episodes each. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== Contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Agent Scully]]: The Church of England, scientifically minded Poole in the second episode about the voodoo curse. * [[Always Murder]]: Well, it is in the title. * [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: Poole is adamant about rationalism in the third episode (which involves a voodoo curse) but relies heavily on gut feelings, especially in the fourth episode. * [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Poole. * [[The Butler Did It]]: [[Discussed Trope]] in the second episode. {{spoiler\|Turns out to be [[Right for ~~The~~the Wrong Reasons]]}}. * [[California Doubling]]: Guadaloupe for Saint Marie. Saint Marie is said to have formerly been French before being traded to Britain, explaining the mixed population (and actors). * [[Conspicuous CGI]]: The recurring lizard sometimes suffers from this. * [[Defective Detective]]: Thankfully, and unusally for BBC, averted; Poole is mildly uptight compared to the locals but otherwise is a reasonably nice, well balanced individual. * [[Discreet Dining Disposal]]: Poole pours the chicken soup into a plant pot in episode six. * [[Donut Mess ~~With~~with a Cop]]: [[Discussed Trope]] between [[Those Two Guys\|Fidel and Dwayne]] while on a stakeout in episode four. * [[Eureka Moment]]: Poole is prone to them. * [[Evil Brit]]: A few get involved in the investigations. Line 34 ⟶ 36: * [[Scenery Porn]]: Honore Island * [[Science Hero]]: Poole. * [[Sharp -Dressed Man]]: Played with; Poole is almost always seen wearing an impeccable black suit... which, in the tropical climate of the Caribbean, tends to make him look rather hot and sweaty. * [[Spot of Tea]]: Poole delivers a [[Character Filibuster]] on its importance in the fourth episode as a means to stall some suspects while Camille searches their house. He spends the second episode trying in vain across the island to find a decent cuppa (eventually, Camille's mother makes him some!) * [[Super OCD]]: Poole.▼ * [[The Summation]]: At the end of every episode, after Poole's [[Eureka Moment]]. * [[Those Two Guys]]: Fidel and Dwayne. * [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]]: Detective Sergeant Angela Young in episode six. ▲* [[Super OCD]]: Poole. {{reflist}} [[Category:British Series]] [[Category:Death Inin Paradise]] [[Category:TV Series]] [[Category:Live-Action TV of the 2010s]] [[Category:Live-Action TV of the 2020s]]
