The 11th series of the BBC show wrapped up on February 25 earlier this year.

Fans saw DS Florence Cassell (Joséphine Jobert) leave the programme, as well as DI Neville Parker (Ralf Little) and his team get up to their usual antics.
Death in Paradise series 12 will finally hit our screens on January 6 2023.
However, before that viewers will be treated to the show’s second Christmas special.
DI Parker and the rest will star in the 90-minute special, which will premiere on Boxing day.
Bosses of the show have teased what fans can expect to see.
“A case of Selwyn’s comes back to haunt him following the murder of a true crime podcaster on the hunt for a missing child,” they said.
“Marlon is forced to spend the night in a haunted house and Darlene takes a hard look at her life choices.
“And after a chance encounter in an airport car park, could love finally be in the air for Neville Parker?”
Back in October the show confirmed it’s final series 12 guest stars – including favourites from other programmes.
Death in Paradise always features famous faces for one off episodes.
Joining the line up now is Corrie star John Michie and Downton Abbey‘s Cara Theobold.
Back in September the show posted a first look at series 12 as Ralf Little returns to the jaw-dropping BBC set.
The popular show is filmed on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, with cast and crew spending months at a time on location.
In a new post on the Death in Paradise Twitter page, fans were given their first glimpse of series 12, with Ralf once again back in the role of DI Neville Parker.
The caption read: “Just another day at the office! We’re back filming in paradise for series 12 and can’t wait for you to see what we’ve got in store! #DeathinParadise @RalfLittle.”
