With Ralf Little having said goodbye to Death in Paradise, one of the show’s former stars has spoken about who would be good to step into his shoes.
Ben Miller, who played DI Richard Poole in the hit BBC series, has reacted to Ralf Little’s departure as DI Neville Parker in the finale episode of series 13, and given a couple of picks to replace him.
Neville finally got his happy ending at the conclusion of the latest series, when he sailed off into the sunset with Joséphine Jobert's DS Florence Cassell. Actor Ralf then shared a heartfelt statement confirming that his stint on Death in Paradise is done. “My time on Saint Marie has come to an end – what an end!” he said.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com about who might take over, Professor T and Bridgerton star Ben Miller said: “There are so many people who’d be brilliant. Toby Jones, that’s who I’d like to see."
And regarding whether then next DI could be female, Ben said: “Yeah, that could definitely work. I could see that, 100 percent. I think that'd be good too. If we’re playing fantasy detectives, Miranda Hart.”
Regarding joining the Saint Marie police team back in 2020, taking over from Ardal O’Hanlon’s DI Jack Mooney, Royle Family star Rald said in his statement: “I want to say an enormous thank you to everyone who watched and supported the show when I arrived four-and-a-half years ago. Coming into a series beloved by millions was a huge responsibility and I had no idea whether viewers would take to my interpretation of Neville’s character, and indeed to me. It was quite a relief that the response has been overwhelming, and it’s been an absolute privilege and a pleasure to bring Neville Parker to all of you and to share his quite profound journey with you."
He added: “I can’t thank you all enough for the support over the last four and a half years. It’s been one of the most magical and profound experiences of my entire life. The team that makes Death in Paradise - the producers, writers, directors, crew, guest cast, and my magnificent co-stars - they know what they’re doing, and the future is in good hands. I can’t wait to see what happens next. It’s been the ride of a lifetime.”
All series of Death in Paradise are currently available on BBC iPlayer.
