Death in Paradise fans floored as 'favourite' star is in another crime series
Death in Paradise fans have been left floored after discovering that former detective, DI Jack Mooney, is also in another detective series, as they branded him their "favourite" Fans of Death in Paradise have just clocked that their "favourite" sleuth, Ardal O'Hanlon, stars in another detective drama. Ardal was the much-loved DI Jack Mooney on the hit BBC show before he departed Saint Marie to join his daughter in London. Since leaving, he's returned to our screens in the Death in Paradise spin-off, Return to Paradise, featuring the series' first female detective. Yet, it turns out Ardal has also been spotted in a different detective series, Sherlock & Daughter, playing Mr Halligan, the butler. On a Facebook fan page for Death in Paradise, one viewer posted: "I see Ardal O'Hanlon is in Sherlock & Daughter as Holmes' butler." This sparked reactions from other fans, with one saying: "I love Ardal O'Hanlon," and another declaring: "Jack was my favourite detective," reports the Express. A fellow fan agreed: "Mine too." Another excitedly commented: "OMG, I need to watch this now." Sherlock & Daughter's plot summary reveals: "Sherlock & Daughter follows Amelia, a young woman who travels to London seeking her father, Sherlock Holmes, after her mother's murder. "She joins forces with the renowned detective to crack a global conspiracy and uncover the truth behind her mother's killing and her own origins. "Initially, Sherlock doubts Amelia's story, suspecting deceit. The series delves into their complicated dynamic as they collaborate to solve the enigma." Ardal joined Death in Paradise in its sixth series, embodying DI Jack Mooney as a man grappling with his wife's recent passing. He saw his character through to the ninth season, ultimately deciding to leave the show as he came to terms with his loss and chose to return to London with his daughter. Discussing his departure with OK!, Ardal O'Hanlon said, "I suppose I didn't think I'd be doing anything for a fourth series. I really thought three series would be the max, you know." He elaborated on the challenges of the role: "Because it's quite a demanding show... It's a tough old show in terms of being away from home for so long and in terms of the conditions that you film in the heat and the humidity." Ardal also touched on the impact on his family life: "I think [Melanie - his wife] found it very tough because we've got three big grown-up kids living in the house and she's got a lot on her plate, so I think she was finding it tougher as the years went on. And I was missing them all hugely as well, so I think it made sense."

Death in Paradise fans think they've spotted crucial crossover clue in new show
Ben Miller has teamed up with Sally Phillips for a brand new BBC series called Austin but the programme has certainly got fans of much-loved series Death in Paradise talking Eagle-eyed Death in Paradise fans think they have stumbled upon a crossover between Ben Miller's latest BBC show Austin and a spin off of the beloved series. As Austin hit screens fans have seen Ben Miller embodies Julian Hartwood, a celebrated British children's author whose empire crumbles when he retweets a message from a white supremacist. Complicating matters further, Julian encounters Austin - played by Michael Theo - at a Canberra book signing, a neurodivergent young man who insists he's Julian's son. This claim is confirmed after some digging and turns out to be the result of a past relationship with Ingrid, Julian's current wife and professional partner of 28 years. Julian dismisses Austin at first, wishing he would disappear . Yet later, swayed by his scheming agent, he contemplates exploiting his newfound relationship with his autistic son to rescue his faltering career, reports Wales Online. But watchers who are fans of Death in Paradise were quick to notice a connection between Austin and Return to Paradise, the show's Australian spin-off. The link comes via Tai Hara, who acts as bartender Luke in Austin, while also portraying Glenn Strong, an ex-fiancé of Detective Sergeant Mackenzie Clarke, played by Anna Samson in Return to Paradise. A fan took to a Facebook group dedicated to the shows, and put across their point: "I'm watching the new Ben Miller show Austin. There is a character called Barman Luke. The character is played by Tai Hara, who also plays Glenn Strong in Paradise. Glenn is Mac's ex-fiance." Ben Miller, who famously portrayed the original detective Richard Poole in Death in Paradise, was killed by an ice pick. His latest project has fans buzzing about a potential crossover with the beloved series. Death in Paradise enthusiasts quickly drew parallels between Ben's new series and the show when Return to Paradise premiered last year, particularly noting resemblances to the show's first female detective and Richard Poole. Social media was abuzz with reactions, as one viewer remarked: "I liked it! The lead character seems to be like a female Richard Poole or Neville Parker." Another fan posted: "Yes, you're right, very Richard Poole-ish." Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: "Just when I thought DI Richard Poole was not a people-friendly person, up pops DI Mackenzie Clarke." Discussing his involvement with the new series, Ben revealed: "Darren Ashton, the director, is an old friend of mine. We worked on a film in Australia called Razzle Dazzle in 2007, and we'd been looking for something to do ever since." He continued, sharing his inspiration: "A few years ago, he was staying with me in the UK, and he showed me Love on the Spectrum, which I absolutely loved, and I was completely blown away by Michael Theo in it. "I thought he was extraordinary and such a fascinating person in the show and on screen. After bingeing the entire series, I asked Darren, 'Do you think Michael could act? I get the feeling he could,' and Darren agreed. We said, 'Do you think we could try and come up with some kind of show where Michael was the central character?' and that was the beginning of it."
