BBC Beyond Paradise fans spot touching Death in Paradise tribute in Neville scene
Beyond Paradise enthusiasts have detected a clever homage to Death in Paradise's detective Neville Parker, Ralf Little's character, in the spin-off's latest episode.
As the series gears up for its finale this Friday, fans are eager to see how the storyline surrounding characters Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) and Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton) will play out.
The most recent instalment saw Detective Goodman embroiled in a challenging predicament during a skydiving episode. Initially, he was set to join Martha's mother, Anne (Barbara Flynn), who had to bow out last second due to a previous injury.

Never one to follow a straightforward path, Humphrey ended up not just diverging from his intended landing zone but also inadvertently incapacitating his skydiving instructor before dangling from a bridge by his parachute.
This mishap isn't new territory for Humphrey - in Beyond Paradise's first episode, he similarly found himself aloft, albeit from a tree that time, reports Devon Live.
During this sequence, a sharp-eyed fan cited by the Express noticed a nod to former sleuth Neville Parker.
A member of a Facebook fan group remarked, "Was it me or was there a little nod to Neville Parker and his utter fear of skydiving with Humphrey taking on the task?".
Supporting this observation, another fan added, "Yes, partly that and partly just Humphrey being Humphrey. Remember the first time he met Esther? Stuck up that tree."
One fan quipped: "Hanging off Tamar Bridge."
Ralf Little, known for his role as Neville Parker in Death in Paradise, exited the show last year. His character was replaced by Don Gilet, who took on the role of the new DI, Mervin Wilson.
Viewers will remember that Neville was a character plagued by fears and peculiar eating habits, only consuming chicken and chips.
The fate of Beyond Paradise's third series is still up in the air, but the summary for the upcoming Friday episode reads: "When nurse Lucy vanishes on her way to work, suspicion falls on Josh Woods - Kelby's rival.
"However, after Josh receives a chilling voicemail, the team starts to suspect that something far more sinister is at play. In the recording, Lucy can be heard shouting 'devil'' followed by a beastly growl.
"Could the legend of the Devil's Hump hold a vital clue to solving her disappearance? As the case intensifies, Humphrey finds himself torn between the personal and professional. With Rosie's birthday fast approaching, he and Martha are determined to throw her the perfect party."

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Rahaman Ali has sadly passed away Credit: Getty 2 His brother Muhammad Ali is regarded as one of the greatest boxer's of all-time Credit: Getty Rahaman spent his final weeks in a hospice in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Muhammad's daughter Hana said in a touching tribute: "In Loving Memory of My Uncle Rock. "Today, the last living member of my father's immediate family returned to heaven. "My Uncle, lovingly known as Rock, was a sweet, gentle soul with a heart as big as the world. "He had that same sparkle in his eye that my father had… that same light, that same mischief, that same love. "They were close their entire lives, brothers by blood, but friends by choice. "Even as children, their bond was extraordinary. My father loved his brother like he was his own child. "I can just picture them now, reunited in heaven… playing Cowboys and Indians with the broomsticks they used to find in Mama Bird and Papa Cash's closet. Daddy always insisted on being the Cowboy, and Rock the Indian. "Or maybe they're back to one of their favourite games, Daddy convincing Rock to throw actual rocks at him so he could prove how fast he was by dodging them. "Whatever they're doing up there, I know it's full of joy, laughter, and the kind of brotherly love that helped shape our family. "Uncle Rock had a heart of gold. He never needed a spotlight to shine, and I believe that now, from above, he and Daddy are part of something bigger… something beautiful… something meant to help heal this broken world. "God bless you, Uncle Rock. You will be missed. You will be forever loved. "And when my time comes, I hope you and Daddy will both be there, waiting to welcome me home." DeVone Holt, who is the president of the Muhammad Ali Center, added: "You can't tell Muhammad's story without mentioning Rahaman. "He was one of the most constant sources of support for Muhammad during his career and their relationship was a true example of what it means to be my brother's keeper." Rahaman, who was born Rudolph Arnett Clay, was also a professional boxer from 1964 to 1972. He ended his heavyweight career with 14 bouts won, three lost and one draw. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..

Brit tourist, 38, dies after £1,500 hair transplant op in Turkey as heartbreaking tributes pour in
The Brit is said to have suffered complications while undergoing the hair transplant procedure OP TRAGEDY Brit tourist, 38, dies after £1,500 hair transplant op in Turkey as heartbreaking tributes pour in Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BRIT tourist has tragically died after undergoing a £1,500 hair transplant operation in Turkey. Martyn Latchman, 38, flew to Istanbul to have a five-hour operation on Monday at Dr. Cinik's clinic in the city's Besiktas district. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 First pictures of Brit Martyn Latchman, 38, who died following a £1500 hair transplant operation in Turkey Credit: Enterprise 5 Mr Latchman suffered complications after undergoing hair replacement surgery at the Cinik clinic in Besikitas Credit: Enterprise 5 He was rushed to the hospital but tragically died Credit: Enterprise But shortly after the surgery, he became seriously unwell and was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment, according to Turkish outlet OdaTV. He is said to have suffered complications while undergoing the hair transplant procedure. His body was later taken to the Forensic Medicine Institute for an autopsy before being repatriated to the UK. Police have launched a probe, treating the case as a possible 'reckless homicide'. Staff at the clinic — including the surgeon who performed the hair transplant, the anaesthesiologist and nurses — have already been quizzed by officers, it is understood. An FCDO spokesperson told The Sun: "We are supporting the family of a British man who died in Turkey and are in contact with the local authorities." Tributes are now pouring in from friends and family for Mr Latchman, whose body has since been flown home. Yashley Latchman posted a picture of keen athlete Mr Latchman on Facebook with the pair working out in a gym. The caption read: "Rest in peace my brother. You will forever be my source of inspiration and motivation. "Thanks for everything. We will miss you loads." Love Island's Ben reveals hair transplant at just 22 years old with before and after video Other family members turned their profiles black in a sign of mourning for Mr Latchman, who was originally from Bridgend but lived in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. According to Dr Cinik Clinic's website, it has treated "more than 50,000 patients" since setting up almost 20 years ago. The website says the clinic has "cutting-edge technology" and is a "centre of excellence in this specialised field". It adds: "Every patient gets personalised care in English, plus access to cutting-edge techniques. "The combination of surgical experience and patient support has made him the go-to specialist for people worldwide." 5 Brit underwent a five-hour operation at the Dr Clinik's clinic (pictured) The tragedy comes amid a boom in 'medical tourism' to Turkey, which now accounts for nearly 60 per cent of the global hair transplant market thanks to its cheaper, high-quality procedures. Turkish Healthcare Travel Council says more than one million people travel to the country each year for hair restoration treatments. According to Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic, numbers are expected to climb to 1.1 million in 2025, the Daily Mail reports. It follows the shocking death of 58-year-old British mum Anne Towlson, who passed away last year after a botched cosmetic surgery trip to Istanbul. Mrs Towlson, from Leicestershire, had flown to Turkey in April 2024 for a pre-planned tummy tuck and liposuction at Green Park Hospital in Pendik. When she arrived, doctors persuaded her to also undergo an arm tuck in a 'last-minute decision', her inquest heard. But she quickly developed alarming complications. BOTCHED OP Meanwhile, a British man was left scarred and with bald patches after a botched hair transplant in Istanbul. Luke Horsfield, then 26, paid £1,250 for the surgery at the Clinic Centre — around half the cost of a UK procedure — but said the results were disastrous. 'I did everything they told me to do as aftercare once I had the operation. But after four months, I saw literally no growth,' the IT technician from Bradford said. 'I was left with scars and bald patches.' Luke claimed the surgeons barely spoke English and had removed too many follicles from the back of his head, leaving him worse off than before. Despite the clinic's promise of 'transplant after care', he said he struggled to get hold of anyone once the operation was over. After months of disappointment, the clinic eventually offered him a £400 refund — barely a third of what he had paid — and a second procedure at half price. Luke later had the damage repaired at a Yorkshire clinic.

BBC Gavin and Stacey's Mathew Horne choked up as he announces colleague death
Mathew Horne, who played Gavin Shipman in the hit BBC comedy series Gavin and Stacey, was giving an In Conversation With performance when he received the sad news Mathew Horne was visibly emotional as he revealed to audiences that he'd just learned of a Gavin and Stacey crew member's death. The 46 year old actor, is well known for his role as Gavin Shipman in the beloved BBC sitcom alongside Joanna Page, James Corden, and Ruth Jones since its 2007 debut. While recently being interviewed on stage for an In Conversation With session in Taunton, Somerset, when he suddenly became overcome with emotion. The television star explained to the crowd that he'd only just received the devastating news through the cast's WhatsApp group. Horne revealed, via The Sun: "Sorry. I got distracted. Earlier on... we had a driver on the finale called Rob and he was in his early 40s... and I found out via the WhatsApp group earlier that he has passed away and I got slightly distracted there." He added: "It's really, really sad. I got distracted by losing Rob. He was a really lovely guy and he's left a four-year-old behind and that is really, really, really sad." Horne went on to explain how the entire cast and crew had formed strong bonds after nearly two decades of working together, reports the Express. He shared: "In 2019 before the Christmas special - part one of the finale if you like - aired, I lost my mother and Alison [Stedman, who played his onscreen mother Pam], really stepped up and she became my surrogate mother off screen as well. "Whenever she texts me even now she signs it 'Mum'. And that is cool. That is so beautiful. And she says 'How are you, my little prince?' It means the world to me.'" The final episode of Gavin and Stacey, which aired on Christmas Day last year, attracted a whopping 19.1 million viewers. The series, first introduced in 2007 by creators James Corden and Ruth Jones, ended with the long-awaited confession of love between Smithy and Nessa, who finally tied the knot despite several obstacles along the way. There has, however, been talk of potential spin-offs with other characters such as Dawn and Pete, played by Julia Davis and Adrian Scarborough respectively, keeping the spirit of Gavin and Stacey alive.
