[@marysisak2359]

How refreshing to hear a dignified actor who is grateful for his opportunities. He sets a good example for aspiring younger actors.

[@sarahblake1737]

An absolute gentleman. Polite, well spoken and humble.

[@halehsh8694]

Commissioner moments are absolutely priceless

The scene where the new dude checks himself into a 5 star hotel 😂😂 and his reaction. Is my fave

He’s definitely the best character on the show.

Hell yes, he MAKES that show.

Yes. I think that he's the character that they couldn't replace if he left.

This character has the art of having tremendous authority without saying a whole lot. Very reassuring to me.

[@bollyBob1980]

Death in Paradise is a wonderful show and in addition to the sun, sea, light and vistas, there is a superb nostalgically slow-paced 1970's vibe, albeit positive, even charming, like chicken in a basket: It celebrates rather than laments. All those Caribbean influences that have left an indelible mark on British culture are obvious, including its use of superb ska classics. There are other 1970's references, such as the looks boasted by beautiful ladies like Sara Martins and Fola Evans Akingbola which are no longer fashionable, but are timeless for their charming desirability and do strike me as more a throwback to "blaxploitation" film, rather than anything Caribbean. Don Warrington is so distinguished and is wonderful as Selwyn Patterson; he does remind me of Geoffrey Palmer in West Indian form but paradoxically also perfectly embodies the "stiff upper lip"and is just as comical; he would be perfect as a prospective father-in-law which is the aura he gives the Commissioner, namely he seems very intense, but always seems to be smiling innately which makes the character all the more amusing. The show boasts many wonderful characters and cleverly manages to be escapist, while capturing the realities of these beautiful islands that can be tourist traps and the subsequent dangers that can ensue. Death in Paradise is great and does not take itself too seriously and has many fans in my island, Australia. Thank you kindly for a great post.

[@Ladida386]

I really like his character.

[@valobrien3281]

Ladida386 He's so lovely, and is modest about himself, nothing false or pretentious. He's retained his integrety, and fame hasn't gone to his head. That is so rare today ! Beautiful man.

[@richardjones4080]

and as for his one lines they are absolutely fantastic and many times hilarious even if not meant to be

[@sharit7970]

Love the show! As I'm in the US, I was not familiar with Don Warrington until I started watching Death in Paradise. To hear him with a British accent is a real kick, as he's so convincing with his 'island accent'. Very nice interview!

[@MsGrandunion]

Try and find a programme called Rising Damp, its a comedy from the 1970s, with a very young Don Warrington as the student tenant!

[@sharit7970]

@@MsGrandunion Thanks for the suggestion!

[@EGRJ]

I'm from the Caribbean. The accents fooled me too, and not just the Commissioner's.

[@judithnelson1228]

He was a good addition to "Rising Damp" as well...also with more hair🤣

[@TheRuddster95]

It's great! He may have been born in somewhere like Trinidad so great that he's tapping into that 👌🏼

[@angemaidment5640]

I love that he’s so grounded. The focus in life, whatever you do, should be what’s in front of you.

[@royleon3525]

A great guy, if he's in a show you just know it's going to be good.

[@neilmarkell1414]

Don Warrington is class. Shame the same cannot be said about the hopeless interviewers.

[@Rudolf.Aigner]

He's a very unique character.

[@warrengwonka2479]

You are either unique or not unique. There is no ‘very’. Half Dome in Yosemite is unique. Rush Limbaugh was unique.

[@pfridell8424]

I came for Danny and stayed for them all. I really like this actor and the character he plays. He's dignified, polite, intelligent and quiet.

[@nevermindmyage]

Wonderful character, great actor.

[@danielfotheringhamproducti7368]

I honestly still like the commissioner, he’s still in my good books. 👍

[@janyceparks8326]

He's my favorite on the show.

[@marywood8794]

Being from the U.S., I like that this show can be watched by the whole family. It reminds me of American shows from the 1980s, that aired at 8pm, which used to be the family hour on American TV. There isn't a realistic autopsy with an overload of clinical facts and gross corpses that kids couldn't watch. This show is quirky and fun with it's regular cast of characters. I really love that there are 4 regular cast members of color. Sadly, I don't see enough shows like that here. I also like the mixed culture aspects of the show: island life and the French and British mixture. It reminds me of Murder She Wrote, except with a more diverse cast in a tropical climate, with well known British actors as the guest stars. I used to be able to view this here on Netflix, but now borrow the dvds from my local library. Thank God for libraries during Covid-19...don't worry it's all done no contact. We place a hold for an item online, get an email when it's ready, and they leave it in the entryway of the library to pick it up when we call from the parking lot. See, technology isn't all bad!

[@VDash-Slesinski]

He plays a wonderful part in this show.

Death in Paradise is the most enjoyable show I have ever watched. Thank you much.

His timing and wit in the show is spot on. I really loved the first two detectives but the last few seem a tad boring.

Why did Florence stop wearing a uniform? She did in the begining,

[@DaveSmith-fh4nb]

shes a detective now

[@jkillgrove]

When Camille Bordaise left for France, Florence was promoted to Detective Sergeant which means she can wear street clothes.

[@pault1964]

I have no problem with her not wearing a uniform,less would be better

[@judithnelson1228]

A gentle suggestion to the lass doing the interview that she not talk over her guest when he is trying to answer the question.

[@pault1964]

Her habit talking over people

[@tenby3826]

If you think she is bad, watch a Piers Morgan interview.

@@tenby3826 we don't see him much in Australia. Only see him a bit on Britain Has Talent.

[@Sxchiko]

What he is wearing is the traditional wear for long time officers.

[@Jago2010]

Hay it’s Humphrey and Jp

[@abbysands9510]

For me, one of the reasons why the show is so popular is because you get to solve the crimes as well. Everything thing that happens in an episode no matter how trivial, every clue, every word said by the criminal is part of the large picture and when you gather all those clues you can use them to solve the crime. In most police shows you do have sub-plots that are also happening along with the main story but unlike Death in paradise the sub-plots can be used to solve or related to the main plot. For example, remember the episode with the beggar lady where a man dresses up as an old beggar woman and use that to rob people, well all that story was not linked to the main story but it was the means that Ben used to solve the case because it was all about misdirection. Like I said do not dismiss anything you hear or see because I guarantee you those clues are part of the larger plot story.

[@ballysboots6937]

I think he’s great but then he always has been.

[@susie9893]

Wow! Now that's a superb actor! In person he's HOT but you get none of that AT ALL as the Commissioner

[@bekkishanklin3824]

how hard to develop the accent?

So weird without his Saint Marie accent 😂

[@albertgainsworth]

The show is a bit patronizing. Why would they have to send for a white police officer? I enjoy it but I am a bit embarrased.

[@digitig]

I enjoy the show, but I do always wonder about that.

[@tenby3826]

I don't think they have to, but it's a really nice dynamic to have a British detective trying to get used to island life. I mean look at Richard, the fact he was British added so much to the show.

[@albertgainsworth]

@@tenby3826 Yes. That was an interesting take on the first series.

[@swaldron5558]

I personally hate these stupid waste BBC’s money to boring whodunnit series. It’s too costly to filming at Caribbean with too many actors & crews enjoying climate weather.

[@007jerkins]

I think you'll find that the BBC will sell these programmes on to other broadcasters at some considerable profit (I believe it's a co-production as well, so the BBC isn't paying the whole cost up-front).
