Ooh, an ex detective in an exotic location helping the local police on murder investigations? With silly hats? Be still our crime drama hearts!

But is is this on the "Death in Paradise" scale of delight, or "The Good Ship Murder" level of horror?

Tune in to find out! You can also enjoy our air fryer chat, elevator pitch for "Ready, Steady, Murder", and Lily's hot take on "The Great Gatsby."

At time of recording, "Benidorm is Murder" is available on My5 in the UK. VPN needed elsewhere - sorry!

This episode contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, and, of course, is full of SPOILERS.

Thanks to Reelmockery.com for help with the recap.

Our next episode is on "Wire in the Blood," episode(s) tbc. Any suggestions?

It's the shark tank episode!

And, quite frankly, there's just not enough shark tank. We never learn our lesson.

We do discuss badgers, coconut shies, and the architectural complexities of shark tanks.

This episode contains descriptions of fictionalised violence and, of course, is full of SPOILERS.

Our next episode will be on "Benidorm is Murder," season one, episode five! This is available on Channel 5 in the UK but requires a VPN elsewhere in the world... sorry!

It's the clash of the Marples! But who is better? Joan Hickson or Julia McKenzie? There's only one way to find out....

We will discuss it and come to a considered conclusion!

Poisoning, stabbing, drowning, and lots of gossiping about high blood pressure; there's so much to love here. Even Lex didn't miss the maggots too much!

We still manage to bring in references to "A Good Ship Murder", "The Marlow Murder Club", "Prime Suspect", "Cracker", "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", and "McDonald and Dodds." Because, of course we do.

For further reading on the world of Miss Marple we recommend Dr Mark Aldridge's books, especially "Agatha Christie on Screen" and "Agatha Christie's Marple: Expert on wickedness." Lily has them both. Signed by the author.

This episode contails descriptions of fictionalised violence, and, of course, is full of SPOILERS!

Despite what we say at the end of this episode, we will NOT be doing Benidorm is Murder for our next episode! Instead, as Annika is temporarily back on BBC Iplayer we will be looking at season two, episode three - the shark tank episode! Gosh we hope it's a good one! You can find it on PBS Masterpiece and Britbox elsewhere in the world. Exciting!
