Earlier this year, BBC audiences witnessed the launch of Death in Paradise’s 15th series as cherished character Selwyn Patterson (Don Warrington) made his comeback.
Meanwhile, viewers have also watched DI Mervin Wilson (Don Gilet) reconcile with his estranged sibling Solomon Clarke (Daniel Ward).
Their bond has been far from smooth, with Solomon having robbed his brother and participated in his abduction.
Whilst the sibling has now departed the programme, there remains one final instalment in the series for audiences to anticipate.
Yet, with Comic Relief commandeering its usual Friday evening time slot on 20 March, the concluding episode won’t broadcast until 27 March.
