Inside Beyond Paradise locations and the place crying out to be in BBC crime drama
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info As one of the most beloved crime dramas on BBC, it's only fitting that Beyond Paradise's sets are as impressive and detailed as the show itself. The programme reinvents the successful premise of Death In Paradise, set in a fictional coastal village in Devon. With fan-favourite Humphrey Goodman (portrayed by Kris Marshall) now partnered with DS Esther Williams (Zara Ahmadi), the series follows their adventures in a new precinct, maintaining all the classic elements of a crime drama. As an avid viewer, I was thrilled to spend a day exploring some of the most scenic towns featured in the series. After a six-hour journey to sunny Buckfastleigh, I immediately took a leisurely walk around the charming village, often shown on screen under the fictional name Shipton Abbott. (Image: Express) It was a surreal experience walking through the streets so frequently depicted on television and reminiscing about some of my favourite scenes. The town was adorned with summer bunting strung up between the shops and cafes along the main street. The high street was bustling with people making the most of the glorious heatwave, enjoying a weekend stroll through the thriving independent shops, reports the Express. The locals were brimming with tales of their encounters with the show's stars and proudly exhibited photos taken with the stellar cast in their shops. Devoted fans may be surprised to learn that many of the high street shops were entirely transformed for the series. A local wine bar, Dough, was repurposed as a quaint chocolate shop for the show, a coffee bar was turned into a fudge shop, and a hair salon typically known as Plum was rebranded 'Snip and Style' for filming. We also took the opportunity to visit the South Devon Railway station in the village, which served as the setting for a chilling murder in the show back in 2024. (Image: BBC) Die-hard fans might recall how the Devon railway became the focal point in the opening episode of the second series, featuring an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery play rehearsal that took a fatal twist. TV detectives can even tap into their inner sleuth as the railway has launched a new murder mystery experience following the episode's broadcast. Presented by Murder by Appointment, the Train to Nowhere experience is a 1950s themed evening filled with suspense and intrigue. Guests are invited to a party on a train hosted by a flamboyant and successful film director, where he plans to remake the iconic 1945 film Brief Encounter. However, jealousy and corruption soon split the cast, leading to an unforeseen murder which attendees will need to solve before the train journey concludes. (Image: Express) Another treat that fans can savour during a day trip to Buckfastleigh is a tour around the town's magnificent abbey - a location that seems destined to feature in a future episode. The grand abbey fell into disrepair following the dissolution of the monasteries during the reign of King Henry VII. However, in 1882, a group of French monks took up residence and meticulously restored the magnificent building brick by brick. After a quarter-century of hard graft, the Abbey church was consecrated and is now a bustling monastery, with monks regularly seen going about their religious practices across the site. The building itself is a marvel to behold, nestled amidst beautifully adorned yet functional gardens and ancient oak trees that have stood for millennia. (Image: Express) It also boasts a medicinal garden brimming with plants and fruit trees used to treat a variety of ailments, as well as a decorative garden teeming with a plethora of flowers and water features. But one unexpected feature the monastery possesses is a dramatic stained-glass installation of Jesus Christ at the rear of the church, casting a rainbow of colours throughout the room. This artistic feature was installed by artist Charles Norris back in 1968, alongside a stained-glass studio on site where he completed his eight-metre wide window before dedicating his life to the church as a monk. The abbey is open to tourists free of charge and also features a delightful cafe overlooking the grounds and a gift shop stocked with handmade items and herbs and plants grown in-house. The breathtaking architecture is simply begging to be a future set for the BBC crime drama, and with filming for the fourth series poised to kick off any week now, it could very well be. Fans will need to stay alert for their favourite Devon and Cornwall spots appearing in the evening programme, which is slated to premiere in Spring 2026. Beyond Paradise is available to watch on BBC iPlayer

I visited Beyond Paradise's locations and found a place begging to be featured in BBC drama
I visited Beyond Paradise's locations and found a place begging to be featured in BBC drama The BBC crime drama is set in a fictional town in Devon and its filming locations are equally impressive, as Bethany Whittingham discovered As one of the most beloved crime dramas on BBC, it's only fitting that Beyond Paradise's sets are as captivating and intricate as the show itself.

Woman Leaves Birthday Cake With Dog Unattended—Then Comes the Surprise
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A pup named Dough, from the United Kingdom, has captivated internet users after showing incredible discipline, in a situation where many other dogs would have probably tried to break the rules. In a viral TikTok video shared in April under the username @ the pup can be seen sitting by the kitchen, waving his tail around in excitement as he spots his birthday cake unattended on the counter. Instead of trying to sneak a bite while nobody is watching him, Dough the XL bully keeps his cool and controls his instincts, defeating any possible temptation. "My dog spotted his birthday cake the night before his birthday, look at him waiting like the good boy he is," the poster says in the clip. A caption adds: "11/10 good boy." While a small taste of plain vanilla cake is not likely to hurt your pup, dogs should not be eating cake that is meant for human consumption. Not only does it lack nutrients, but it can also often contain ingredients that are toxic to them. Some of these ingredients, Dr. Jamie Clanin, a veterinary adviser for PetLab Co, told Rover, include coffee, raisins, nutmeg, chocolate, alcohol, macadamia nuts, and sugar substitutes such as xylitol. Even plain cake should be avoided. However, nowadays there are plenty of dog-friendly cakes that can make your pup's birthday special without potentially harming them. Dog-friendly birthday cakes can include flavors such as peanut butter, apple sauce, pumpkin, and carrots. If you are planning on baking your pup a birthday cake, then make sure you are using only dog-safe ingredients. You can find a list of human foods that dogs love eating, and that are completely safe for your pups to have, here. Stock image: A dog looks up at a kitchen counter.

Kayla Doe771 posted: "Meanwhile, our chaos gremlin found 2 pounds of cubed butter on the counter, ate it, then threw up, he's okay! didn't think he could get to it, ran out for missing baking ingredients. lesson learned!" KrystalsCustomCreations added: "That tail is like the second hand on the clock, just counting down until he gets to eat it!" Newsweek reached out to @ for comment via email.

'Customer is not always right': Bukit Timah bakery denies bullying 86-year-old customer
SINGAPORE: The 'Dough' bakery at the interim Bukit Timah Wet Market & Food Centre has denied bullying allegations after a netizen claimed that the stallholders disrespected his elderly uncle and denied him service. The netizen, Jimmy, told citizen journalism portal Stomp that his elderly uncle, who was a bit slow, had difficulty placing an order and was ultimately turned away in an unpleasant manner. Jimmy recounted, 'Don't visit this pastry stall, which is run by two rude youngsters. My uncle, who is a bit slow, ordered plain croissants from the stall by pointing at the picture, but the counter staff insisted that he pronounce the words aloud. When I read out the words to him, the staff still wasn't happy. 'Then, just as we thought everything was over, and even after packing the food, the hawker took the food back and said to my uncle, 'I am not selling to you!' Such hawkers are bullying seniors.' However, the staff at Dough pushed back strongly against the allegation, saying the customer and his companion had been the ones who behaved rudely. Speaking to Stomp on Thursday (May 8), one of the stallholders said: 'Yes, I remember this customer. If they don't know how to respect others, then I feel they don't deserve to get respect, despite what age they are.' The staff explained that the request for the order to be spoken aloud was not intended to shame or inconvenience anyone, but to ensure accuracy. 'We've had too many customers who just point at pictures or trays and then blame us for giving the wrong item. Especially with pastries that have fillings, once they're packed in plastic, we can't put them back on display if the customer changes their mind—we have to throw them away,' the stallholder said. They maintained that the elderly man's companion had read out the order, and that they had proceeded to pack the croissants, but what followed was, according to the stall, a hostile attitude from the elderly customer. 'They're saying we were not happy, but why didn't they mention how his uncle reacted? He kept giving us this very annoyed face, like we owed him something,' the stallholder added, 'If you feel so annoyed by us, then you can just visit other bakeries.' The staff rejected the accusation that they were 'bullying' a senior citizen. 'We serve many older customers—some even older than 86—and there are never any issues. It's not about age. It's about attitude. Respect goes both ways.' Rebutting the commonly held belief that 'the customer is always right,' the stallholder said: 'Customers always make it seem like they are right because they are the ones making the complaint, while those of us in the service line are expected to stay quiet.' The incident has since drawn mixed reactions online, with some defending the elderly customer and others sympathising with the young stallholders.
