The Making of Death in Paradise (behind the scenes)

Amazing look behind the scenes during Series 5, covering so many aspects of filming with interviews from producers, a director, wide range of crew members and several cast members. Absolute must-watch if you're a fan of DIP.

As soon as I hear the opening music, I find myself smiling

The title theme song is “You’re Wandering Now.” You hear the complete vocal version on KZbin.

This is the best show on television, hands down. The characters, the plots, and the scenery, are superb. This insight into how the show is produced was, also excellent. I really appreciate the hard work of all the folks who work to make this series so good. I wish that Hollywood could learn from the writers, producers, actors and supporting people. Thank you for your genuinely excellent production.

[@andrewa.mcnamee8530]

Hear hear! I was amazed to learn that the shack is dismantled at the end of every shooting season, so as not to be destroyed by hurricanes! The one downside of living by a Caribbean beach!

[@gramav7958]

I LOVE THIS SHOW..I hope they keep this series going. I feel like I'm on vacation when I watch this.

[@andrewa.mcnamee8530]

And it's good that they put it on in January: it cheers us up and helps us look forward to summer.

[@anonymousmoose8037]

The one thing me and my dad always joke about is that one minute theres this scene of a person being murdered or found dead and then 1 second after its just a happy layed back theme tune. I swear its the best thing ever🤣

[@bobgreaves1716]

Me too :) There's a murder, then the jolly theme tune sparks up, and we both sing cheerfully "he's dead, he's dead, he's dead, heeeee's deadddddd....." lol :)

[@aldorfc220]

Or someone screaming traumatise seeing a body then the next is this happy tune 😂🎶

That's brilliant! It's a great show, I only started watching a year ago - from S1E1 all through to S10 as they were all on BBC iPlayer. Have you seen all the series? :)

[@wingnutofcoolness]

@@kelsiaramaple I've watched all of them, but I only saw The Christmas show on KZbin and the quality was not good. I am looking forward to season 11.

@@wingnutofcoolness Aww, not sure if you can access BBC iPlayer, but it's now on there too.

[@VE7QRZ]

Thanks for the behind the scenes peek of the actors and crew. Each episode brings a smile to my face. Oh yes, one more thing, the music, it makes me smile also.

[@kelsiaramaple]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. Speaking of the music, what do you think about the theme music change in S10? Many of us prefer the original version from S1, it just seems to have the feisty punch compared with S10. The music during the episodes is nice.

[@jenniferlawrenceisthebest7972]

@@kelsiaramaple I hate the new theme tune

[@cannyexplorer5357]

Watched since day one. The best that the BBC has produced for ages. No poor sound quality or over dark pictures unlike all other programmes they have produced over the last few years. Hope they keep producing this series.

[@millomweb]

"over-dark pictures" But for a paradise, there's certainly a lack of sunshine ! They're always filming in the shadows. They really go out of their way to show how cold and miserable it is. No one is seen sweating, they all wear too much clothing. Compare with "It ain't half Hot Mum" :)

[@keithnichols7926]

I didn't realize the physical demands of shooting this show. Now I know why the major actors change every season.

[@SuperBeachbum74]

Josephine Jobert is the show, started watching when recovering from surgery ! When Sarah and Ben left , wasn’t sure if I’d continue watching , but Josephine Jobert made me love the show and bought every season she’s was in !

[@Hulalulatallulahoop2]

Me too...when Ben Miller left I thought I wouldn't enjoy the show but I grew to love Kris Marshall and now I'm loving the Irish guy and I'm sure I'll love Ralf Little when I get up to season 10. Josephine Jobert is sooooo pretty...she makes me want to diet and exercise more ha ha!

[@redd605]

I agree I've watched it from the start ,but didn't like the script for the Christmas episode because she was was hardly in it when it was shown 2021 , good to see Fidel back for this one off

[@richiesimons4403]

This is an excellent programme. One of the best there has ever been on British TV. Having watched this, you can understand the rotating door of actors. The long days , heat and travelling. It must be genuinely exhausting and draining, regardless of how much fun it is. Plus time away from family. Thank you to all of you connected with Death in Paradise, past and present for making such a fabulous show and your hard work and commitment. Absolutely superb.

[@dominikrodler8010]

Just came back from Guadeloupe (where I went because I loved Death in Paradise so much) 😃

[@hakuna8374]

Did you like it? Would you recommend this destination?

[@pauledwards4333]

Would like that too

[@SuperBeachbum74]

True story, I had severe back surgery, drs thought I may never walk again, 7 months in and out therapy til I could walk and even sit up without pain. Went thru some devastating depression. Sleep aids, herbs, nothing worked in able to rest. Not being misleading but as I watched this show and particularly Josephine Jobert, it helped me relax and smile again ! Bought the dvds with her in them ! So whenever trouble relaxing to sleep I put on dvds and she makes me smile . I’m an artist and find drawing her is therapy ! Not being weird but sharing my story. I’m deeply Christian and when I see her, I see the beauty of Gods creation, cause only He could make someone that beautiful ! Also French like her !

Love this behind the scenes look at Death in Paradise. Another fresh unexpected story just like every episode. Never an inkling it was so hot there. Characters always so cool calm and collected.

[@millomweb]

Yes, they completely spoil it for that. I bet the cast are the only ones wearing clothes !

[@JulieWallis1963]

My husband and I went to the Caribbean purely because we live thus show. Unfortunately we missed Guadeloupe because Covid… but such a special place in the world. Terrific show, stunning casting *always* and I love an Agetha Christie style Murder mystery.

This is THE BEST SHOW on British TV right now, and the best thing the BBC have made in years! Just wish they hadn't killed off Richard Poole. The writers are clearly clever enough to have written him out in better ways, and wouldn't have had to bring him back as a ghost when Ben Miller wanted to make a guest appearance! Now if I can just find where to get those jackets that Humphrey Goodman wore...

I am from Canada and I love your show. I love the theme music. I once sang in Carican Choir. Caribbean Canadian. Most of the people were from the Caribbean.

[@kelsiaramaple]

That's brilliant! Hopefully the choir ensures the singing and music is passed onto new generations in the community too. The DIP theme music is so catchy and punchy, puts me in a good mood. Prefer the S1 version though, not so keen on the new arrangement in S10.
