Beyond Paradise detectives face devilish mystery in exclusive season 3 finale clip
Beyond Paradise will delight viewers with its most intense mystery yet, as Kris Marshall's Humphrey Goodman and the team at Shipton Abbott are faced with a strange case when a woman goes missing.
In an exclusive clip from the show's season 3 finale, Kelby (Dylan Llewellyn) is left exasperated by a man called Josh Woods who he says will be "the death of" him before the man himself appears, running into the officer and trying desperately get the team's help. His partner Lucy has gone missing but not before she left him an ominous voice message that appears to indicate something bad has happened to her.
As Kelby tries to chase Josh around the table it's Humphrey who forces the pair to stop and play nice so that they can discuss the case. Josh reveals he tried to call Lucy but her phone is switched off and she didn't turn up at work at the local hospital, and he shares his concern that her disappearance is linked to the Devil's Hump — a local folktale and legend along the Devon coast.
Josh wonders whether the Devil's Hump could be a part of the mystery, saying that Lucy "always cycles over it". Kelby and Humphrey question whether they should be believing in a folk tale, but Margo (Felicity Montagu) says: 'It's said to be put there by the devil himself, if you have bad thoughts when you go over it..." with Josh finishing the quote by saying: "The devil can take your soul."
It teases a compelling mystery with a supernatural twist to end the series, with the BBC sharing in their summary of the episode that the Devil's Hump could "hold a vital clue" to the case. Marshall previously told Yahoo UK and other publications that it is his favourite case of the show thus far.
"I think the puzzle in episode 6, and the solving of the puzzle, is probably the most incredible —and incredibly intricate— puzzle I've ever witnessed in TV," the actor said. "It's insane, it's so clever. I don't know how they wrote it, it's brilliant."
Marshall added that what he enjoys best about the BBC crime drama is how innovative it is when it comes to its cases: "I think what's good about Beyond Paradise is that it has become more representative of this environment, and the sort of rural wild beauty of the place.
"I think that's great because it makes you realise there's only a certain amount of ways you can murder someone on a TV series but there are myriad ways that you can rustle sheep or steal art, or commit arson in a show. We've got all those kinds of crimes going on."
The Beyond Paradise season 3 finale airs at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Simon Wiesenthal Center Slams Glastonbury's 'Bland Response' To Bob Vylan's 'Death To The IDF' Chant
Although Glastonbury and the BBC have condemned Bob Vylan's onstage comments at the England music festival, at least one Jewish human rights organization is not satisfied with the response. Jim Berk, CEO of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, called out both the festival and the network for providing a platform for the 'disgraceful' performance, in which Vylan led the crowd in chants of 'death to the IDF' and 'free Palestine.' More from Deadline Glastonbury Officials 'Appalled' By Bob Vylan's Anti-Israel 'Hate Speech' Chant From Stage BBC Slams 'Deeply Offensive' Glastonbury Set: 'We Have No Plans To Make It Available On Demand' BBC Avoids Kneecap But Live Streams Another Act Leading Crowd Chants Of "Death To The IDF" & "Free Palestine" 'It was sickening, dangerous and chillingly reminiscent of a modern-day Nazi rally,' said Berk, adding: 'It was public incitement, not performance. The explicit calls for violence against Jews, broadcast live by the BBC without interruption, literally gave hate a stage, a microphone, and the stamp of legitimacy of one of Britain's most respected public institutions.' Berk continued, 'And Glastonbury's bland response? Saying the chants merely 'crossed a line' and offering vague 'reminders' to artists is not accountability—it's cowardice. When confronted with explicit calls for violence against Jews, anything short of absolute condemnation and corrective action is complicity.' Referencing Hamas' October 2023 invasion of Israel's Nova music festival, where 378 were killed and 44 hostages were taken, Berk called the chants 'deeply re-traumatizing and terrifying.' 'This is a moment of reckoning. Festival organizers, media outlets, and artists must choose: will they be platforms for peace, or enablers of hate? Because silence is not neutrality, it is a green light for bigotry,' added Berk. 'Festivals must be prepared to halt performances that invoke hate; broadcasters must air festivals on deferred live and use their kill switch to take hate speech immediately off the air. Never again is not a slogan: It's a responsibility. And it's being betrayed on the world's biggest stages.' Following the performance, the BBC has decried the 'deeply offensive' set, which a spokesperson said they have 'no plans to make the performance available on demand.' A Glastonbury rep has said that organizers are 'appalled' by the chants, which 'very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the Festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.'

Rap duo's anti-Israel chants prompt UK police to review Glastonbury acts
Irish-language rap group Kneecap also performed Saturday despite a terror charge for one of its members over allegedly supporting Hezbollah, leading a huge crowd in chants of 'Free Palestine.' The Israeli Embassy to the UK said on social media that it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival.' Health Secretary Wes Streeting on Sunday condemned Bob Vylan's actions as 'appalling.' He told Sky News that the BBC and festival organizers had to answer questions about how the comments were broadcast live to millions. Advertisement However, he also urged Israel to 'take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously' when asked about the Israeli embassy's condemnation of the band's actions. The minister referred to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and 'the fact that Israeli settler terrorists attacked a Christian village this week, setting it on fire,' and urged Israel to 'get your own house in order.' The government said its culture secretary has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance. Advertisement The BBC said it issued a warning on screen about 'very strong and discriminatory language' during the livestream. Glastonbury is Britain's biggest summer music festival and draws some 200,000 music fans each year to Worthy Farm in southwest England. Almost 4,000 acts perform on 120 stages. Festival organizers said on Instagram that Vylan's chants 'very much crossed a line.' 'We are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the Festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.' 'With almost 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share, and a performer's presence here should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs,' it said. Bob Vylan's two members both keep their real names secret for privacy reasons. Founded in 2017, the band has released four albums. Kneecap, which has drawn criticism over its comments on Middle East politics, also gave an impassioned performance for tens of thousands of fans. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, has been charged under the Terrorism Act with supporting a proscribed organization for allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag at a concert in London in November. The rapper, who was charged under the anglicized version of his name, Liam O'Hanna, is on unconditional bail before a further court hearing in August. The group has been under scrutiny since videos emerged allegedly showing the band shouting 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' and calling on people to kill lawmakers. On Saturday band members led the audience in chants of 'Free Palestine' and 'Free Mo Chara.' They also aimed an expletive-laden chant at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has said he didn't think it was 'appropriate' for Kneecap to play Glastonbury. Advertisement Rod Stewart, Olivia Rodrigo, and the Prodigy were among acts playing Sunday for Glastonbury's final day.
