Why isn't BBC's Beyond Paradise on tonight?
Fans of the popular drama series are wondering why the show is missing from TV schedules
Fans of BBC drama which is a spin-off from Death in Paradise are wondering why isn't Beyond Paradise on tonight?
The new series sees Kris Marshall reprise his role as detective Humphrey Goodman after leaving Death in Paradise and it is currently part way through its debut season after airing each Friday night on BBC One.
But fans who are looking to catch up on the latest instalment of the show that follows DI Humphrey and his fiancee Martha (Sally Bretton) embark on their new life in Shipton Abbott on the Devonshire coast with most filming in South East Cornwall, will be disappointed to discover that the show isn't on tonight [Friday, 17th March] as we look a why...
Why isn't BBC's Beyond Paradise on tonight?
BBC's Beyond Paradise isn't on tonight because the broadcaster has agreed to air its annual Comic Relief coverage from 7pm to 10pm therefore Beyond Paradise won't air at 8pm. The big fundraiser is being hosted by a variety of stars including Aj Odudu, David Tennant, Joel Dommett, Paddy McGuinness and Zoe Ball.
The official Twitter page for the show tweeted, "We won't be here next week - it's Comic Relief! - but don't worry, Beyond Paradise will be back on BBC One on Friday 24th."
One fan said, "Another great episode tonight. It will be a relief when it's back in two weeks and, hopefully, the BBC will commission more series."
Another viewer was understanding and added, "Aww, next episode looks really really good but Comic Relief is a great cause and we get to see more Tennant."
