Death in Paradise actor Kris Marshall has been spotted on the set of BBC drama Beyond Paradise with a familiar face, who starred in the crime series with him
Outlander star Colin McFarlane has been spotted on the Beyond Paradise set, sending fans into a frenzy of excitement.
A photograph was enthusiastically posted on a Facebook fan group devoted to the programme.
Beaming widely, the actor was photographed alongside a devoted fan, dressed in dark brown trousers and a white vest, topped with a checked shirt.
A microphone could be seen clipped to Colin’s vest, suggesting filming was underway.
In a second picture, Colin appears with Kris Marshall, who plays lead detective Humphrey Goodman. This time, he appears seemingly in full costume, wearing a green gilet over his checked shirt while clutching what appears to be gardening gloves.
Meanwhile, Kris was casually attired in a white vest, navy trousers, and brown shoes as they wandered about the filming location.
The fan who shared the snap cheekily observed: “Kris in his best togs,” according to the Express.
While the behind-the-scenes shots thrilled viewers, some eagle-eyed supporters quickly noticed a fascinating connection—Colin had previously appeared in Death in Paradise.
Colin starred in the sixth episode of Death in Paradise’s fourth series, playing the character Anton Burrage, where Kris’s DI Goodman and his colleagues were tasked with investigating a volleyball player’s murder.
Supporters on the page were quick to acknowledge the reunion, with one noting: “Looks like Selwyn’s volleyball friend from Death in Paradise with him.
“Mr Barrage,” another chimed in.
A different fan expressed their fondness for the actor accompanying Kris, saying, “Oh, I like the actor with him. He’s usually really posh or very bad.
“The guy with Kris was with him in DIP, too. In the volleyball episode,” pointed out another.
In other news, Colin has been bestowed with an honorary degree from Loughborough University.
The 63-year-old British thespian, scribe, and producer, famed for his portrayal of Gillian B. Loeb in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy, was honoured by his alma mater for his “outstanding contributions to the arts and his role in championing men’s health issues.”
Fans can catch episodes of Death in Paradise on BBC iPlayer.
