This week, BBC viewers will see DI Humphrey and the Shipton Abbot team solve more bizarre crimes as the third series of Beyond Paradise kicks off.
The wait is almost over for BBC fans as DI Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and his team from Shipton Abbott are making their long-awaited return in the third series of Beyond Paradise. At the end of March, viewers will see the team solve complex and unusual crimes, all while navigating different personal situations away from work. One of which involves Humphrey and Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton) continuing their journey into the world of fostering.
Speaking about what people can expect to see this series, actress Sally Bretton revealed there’s a new arrival in their home. She said: “Martha and Humphrey continue to navigate their new life together, adjusting to the addition of a new family member. It’s not always graceful but there’s always love at the core of everything they do. The beautiful settings remain a highlight and the stories will take viewers on a journey – one that is both captivating and emotionally fulfilling.”

This series, the duo will look after an emergency placement of a nine-year-old called Rosie (Bella Rei Blue Stevenson). Although actor Kris Marshall teased, the child has her own challenges they hadn’t anticipated.
When asked how Martha and Humphrey adapt to becoming foster parents, Sally confessed her character is finding it a lot to handle. She said: “The balancing act is challenging.
“On paper, Martha was supposed to be the primary carer, especially with Humphrey’s work commitments, but she ends up taking on a lot more than expected.

“She is managing her business, looking after Rosie, and trying to keep everything in order – it’s a lot. But despite the struggles, they both fall in love with Rosie, and it becomes a deeply rewarding experience for them.
“They go through a whole range of emotions, but in the end, it’s something they’ll always look back on as a very special chapter in their lives.”

A teaser reads: “Things take a darker turn in the next case when Kelby’s friend receives threatening messages from an unknown source.
“With further mysteries including a puzzling chocolate box poisoning, a historic farming feud, a spiking at sea, and a devilish kidnapping, there’s plenty to keep the Shipton Abbott detectives on their toes.”
Beyond Paradise airs on Friday, 28th March, on BBC One from 8pm.
