Channel Seven’s Cringe-Worthy Farmer Wants a Wife Promo: ‘Who Are Those Girls?’
He was one of the farmer’s looking for love on the new season of Farmer Wants a Wife before he was axed from the show. But on Tuesday,…
Kris Marshall is in Australia promoting the new season of hit BBC series Beyond Paradise.
And the British actor, who stars in Beyond Paradise, says a familiar face is set to crop up on the murder mystery show.
Marshall, who rose to fame in the 2003 film Love Actually, says his co-star Abdul Salis, who played his best mate Tony in the comedy, will soon appear in Beyond Paradise.
‘I had only seen him once in 24 years’ the 52-year-old said on Sunday’s episode of The Project.
‘It’s a beautiful thing about being an actor. You pick up where you left off. It’s kind of symbiotic. I love it.

‘So, he came in and did a guest thing and we’re all a bit older and, you know, we’re not very much wiser. We’re all good.’
Marshall appeared to hint that Salis won’t be the killer in the episode, but stopped himself before giving a little too much away.
‘I don’t think he’s… I’m not going to give any spoilers!’ he said with a laugh.
Marshall also gave audiences for the mystery murder series, which streams on BritBox Down Under, a major clue on how to crack each case.
He joked that viewers tend to guess who the killer is each episode before his character, bumbling Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman, manages to do so – and there is a surefire way to work out whodunnit.
‘When I first started, I used this thing I called the Scooby Doo algorithm – it’s always the second person they meet’ he said, but conceded, ‘some are more complex.’
‘It taught me our audiences are better at solving the crimes than I am. That is weird. I literally have the scripts… I’m absolutely awful at it’ he said.
Marshall played Detective Goodman first in the hit BBC series Death in Paradise and then in its equally popular spin off Beyond Paradise , which has just returned for a third series.

At age 27 played the hopeless fop Colin Frissell in 2003’s Love Actually, which made him pretty huge.
His character heads for Wisconsin, where his English accent is enough to get him into bed with January Jones, Elisha Cuthbert, Denise Richards and Shannon Elizabeth.
Marshall took over solving murder mysteries on a Caribbean island in 2014 from Ben Miller, the show’s first star – and he proved such a ratings success they created Beyond Paradise specifically for him, in damp Devon.
Yet when he first auditioned for Death in Paradise in 2013 they turned him down flat.
‘I didn’t even make the final four,’ he says.
Newly married, with a three-month-old baby and his US sitcom Traffic Light recently ended, he needed a job.
Then, ‘Ten days later they phoned to say, ‘We’ve made a mistake’ and that changed ten years of my life.’
In an age of falling viewing figures, Death in Paradise banks more than seven million viewers an episode.
