First look at Don Gilet as DI Mervin Wilson

I am delighted to have returned to the wonderful island of Guadeloupe and this time to be stepping into the well-worn shoes of the Detective Inspector. It’s been a real pleasure filming such a beloved series alongside the hardworking cast and crew. I can’t wait for the fans to see how DI Mervin Wilson fares on the island, how he fits within the Saint Marie police team and what secrets may unfold... - Don Gilet

Don Gilet revealed as new DI in Death in Paradise

While none of my random guesses was even close, at least I can stop checking the BBC website every day for news! Here’s what we know so far: Making his debut in a feature-length Christmas special later this year, before a brand-new…

The Beekeeper (2024) Review

When Adam Clay heads on a brutal campaign for revenage he wants to take down the people responsible for the death of a close friend, what wasn’t banked on was that he had been an operative in an organisation known as “Beekeepers”. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Continue reading The Beekeeper (2024) Review

The Beekeeper (15): Ludicrous Statham Action Flick... Which Actually Gave Me a Buzz.

#OneMannsMovies #FIlmReview of "The Beekeeper". #TheBeekeeper. Mindless action nonsense with Jason Statham... but actually quite fun! 3.5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies Film Review of “The Beekeeper” (2023). In terms of ‘leave your brain at the door’ cinema, “The Beekeeper” is high up there on the list. Sometimes this type of film can leave you weeping into your popcorn. Amazingly, this one felt like a fun ride. (But, I mean, it’s still not bloody Shakespeare).

Also, let's look at the men Donna finds attractive - hint, it's not skinny white twinks.

I saw a post earlier where the OP went on at length about how TenDonna is the true ship, how they 'won', how they are the proper love story, and not platonic. And lots of people agreed! I was dumbfounded. Don't get me wrong I get that she was his best friend but love interest? Nah GTFO. Going on about how they were keeping their relationship quiet to protect her.. clearly never heard of show don't tell.

I also can't help but feel there's a bit of retconning going on as well by RTD. Fourteen saying losing Donna killed him, over and over again. Erm, did it? Yes it clearly made him very sad there's no disputing that. But Ten going mad after JE was a result of losing everyone - Donna AND Rose yet again. I just.. don't get some people

I agree! While I don't think that RTD did us too wrong, I understand that he was trying to wrap up a story from his last era in a way that made sense to his viewers, if you know what I mean? He couldn't do much with the intervening showrunners' work without stepping on their toes, so going back to Donna - a person who was literally out of action for the past 15 years - makes perfect sense.

RTD loves his ending with Tentoo/Rose because it was the Doctor's romantic arc. Donna has always been more like the Doctor's sister, from start to finish. There is - in my opinion - less than zero romantic chemistry between them, and it's blatantly shown and told within canon. If you look back, he almost denied her traveling with him because he was worried she fancied him (like Martha did). He only wanted to travel with Donna because she could be his friend! Why people change that to mean "that he's keeping their relationship a secret" is the same kind of delusional crack-ship thinking as people believing Ten and Martha were a thing. It's just silly and so not intended.

In some ways, though, the 60th specials were absolutely DoctorDonna fanservice, and that's not so bad if it's interpreted correctly. I would have lost my mind if it had been Tentoo fanservice instead, so I can't begrudge them their happiness. It's the misinterpretation of their very obviously platonic relationship that feels icky and kinda disrespectful. I mean, Donna's actually married? Fourteen is (likely) gay? It's all lined up to express their relationship as familial and still people think they've got some secret romance going on.

"It killed me, it killed me, it killed me" is a beautiful line that expresses how vulnerable Fourteen is in this body, but it doesn't actually mean it killed him three times. It's an exaggeration, like how Fourteen seems to express lots of things. If people want to think that it somehow means that the Doctor regenerated three times thinking of Donna every time, well, they can go right on ahead with that little fantasy headcanon because there's very little we can do to change their minds at this point.

Summary

A gripping, full-cast science-fiction drama for fans of time travel, conspiracy theories, and unexplained phenomena.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes.

Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

But is Earth safe? Could the Vanishing happen again?

To get answers, two teams are launched back in time–one to New York City before the Vanishing; another to follow a bizarre trail of clues through history, from Area 51 to the lost Roanoke colony, and beyond.

There are forces, though, that don’t want the Temporal mission to succeed. And a mysterious being whose own agenda might destroy them all.

The BBC and Red Planet Pictures have revealed that Don Gilet (Sherwood, EastEnders, The Beekeeper, Shetland) will be the new lead detective in ratings-smash crime drama Death in Paradise.

Making his debut in a feature-length Christmas special later this year, before a brand-new series in 2025, Gilet will play Detective Inspector Mervin Wilson - who arrives on the idyllic island of Saint Marie from London, and isn’t overly pleased with his new surroundings…

Gilet has recently begun filming in Guadeloupe, alongside returning Death in Paradise regulars Don Warrington, Shantol Jackson, Ginny Holder, Élizabeth Bourgine and Danny John-Jules.

Don Gilet says: “Being offered the new lead role in Death in Paradise feels like a deeply loved and incredibly precious jewel has been placed in my hands. This is a big show, with a big heart and the love continually grows for it. It is my intention to never lose sight of that and to remain grateful, humbled and dedicated. Even during those testing times when every sinew is screaming at me to run off the set and dive into the sea, swimming pool or an ice-cold beer – whichever happens to be closer at the time!

Tim Key, Executive Producer for Red Planet Pictures, says: “Don is an amazing actor and we’re delighted that he’s joining us as the show enters another exciting new era. We’ve got huge plans for

the new series and beyond, and I can’t wait for the audience to meet Mervin and to see what we’ve got in store...”

Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, says: “We could not be happier to welcome Don to the series. Already known to BBC viewers from the likes of Sherwood, EastEnders, and Doctor Who, he’s long been one of the UK’s most exciting actors. Death in Paradise is in brilliant hands - roll on Christmas!”

Offering the perfect cocktail of sun-soaked escapism, shimmering seas and clear blue skies, the detective drama enters its fourteenth year on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with its much-loved combination of magnificent murder mysteries and plot twists which leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

BBC Studios, who distribute the series, have now licensed Death in Paradise to over 230 territories across the globe. It was recently announced that following the successful launch of spin-off series Beyond Paradise last year, the Death in Paradise franchise will build on its international success with new Australia-set spin-off series Return to Paradise, airing later this year on the BBC and on ABC in Australia. Death in Paradise is a Red Planet Pictures production for the BBC made with the support of the region of Guadeloupe and internationally distributed by BBC Studios. The feature-length Christmas special and 2025 series will be executive produced by Tim Key and Amy Rodriguez for Red Planet Pictures and Danielle Scott-Haughton for BBC, and series produced by Sue Howells. All series of Death in Paradise are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Il faut que je crée un manuel pour avaler une étoile filante

.

Aujourd’hui, je n'ai pas pu avaler une olive, comme une peste sans sucre, une vérité bloquée dans ma gorge… L’eau est un symbole de rébellion... Et comment être sauvage ?...

L’escalier qui descend est glissant… Pour y survivre, il faut enlever une peau et mettre un gilet jaune… La respiration est un handicap, il n’y a pas d’associations pour faire des dons… L’air est un directeur général qui règle le climatiseur à fond pour que la chaleur prenne congé, comme une démission forcée… Dans la salle de repos, la neige organise des conférences, parlant de rêves à des statues sourdes qui n’écoutent que pendant dix minutes avant de retourner à leurs salaires…

Il fait beau, aujourd’hui… J’ai réussi à me faire sourire… La solitude n’existe pas… Quand mes yeux ne trichent pas, je vois des couleurs… Et les élèves du gris finissent toujours recalés ; ils doivent échouer pour s’améliorer…

Et puis, une idée me traverse l’esprit : je veux offrir une fleur à une femme plus âgée que moi, juste pour voir son sourire… Peut-être, dans cette confession au-dessus d’une table dressée, je vais trouver une utilité à ma sainteté qui me perturbe… Parfois, j’hésite à former des fusées avec des ordonnances que je trouve dans ma poubelle à la place des additions…

Aujourd’hui, je suis prêt à être un clown, mais sans maquillage, parce que j’ai une réunion dans cinq minutes… Je suis prêt à offrir des fleurs, juste pour que ma face trouve son miroir, juste pour que la farce ose enfin me croire…

i can't deal with the people saying they won't be watching death in paradise anymore because they cast another man as the lead instead of a woman like, they didn't just cast another man ffs. they cast a black man as the new lead. death in paradise, a show that's been going for 13 years, is set in the caribbean with a 90% black cast as well as an ever changing cast and don gilet is the very FIRST black lead like, do you know how big this casting decision is? it shouldn't be but given past comments by the showrunner, it is and you're upset because it wasn't a woman who, let's be honest, most of the people who wanted a woman as the lead specifically wanted it to be a white woman which would have just continued the same problem the show already had.

Death in Paradise has revealed that former EastEnders actor Don Gilet is taking over from Ralf Little as the show's lead detective.

The news will come as a huge surprise to fans, with Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint, Friday Night Dinner star Simon Bird and Gavin & Stacey's Mathew Horne all thought to be at the top of the shortlist for the part.

However, no one had linked Don Gilet's name to the top cop role and bosses will be thrilled they've managed to keep his name under wraps! The makers shared a snap of 57-year-old Don, below, preparing to shoot his first scenes in Guadeloupe, which doubles for Saint Marie. He's been filming alongside co-stars Don Warrington, Shantol Jackson, Ginny Holder, Élizabeth Bourgine and Danny John-Jules.

He will play Detective Inspector Mervin WiIson — who arrives on the idyllic island of Saint Marie from London, and isn't overly pleased with his new surroundings…

Don will first be seen in the upcoming Christmas special, before appearing in the Death in Paradise season 14, which will go out in 2025.

Don, who's also enjoyed parts in Sherwood, Shetland and Doctor Who, says: "Being offered the new lead role in Death in Paradise feels like a deeply loved and incredibly precious jewel has been placed in my hands. This is a big show, with a big heart and the love continually grows for it. It is my intention to never lose sight of that and to remain grateful, humbled and dedicated. Even during those testing times when every sinew is screaming at me to run off the set and dive into the sea, swimming pool or an ice-cold beer — whichever happens to be closer at the time!"

Tim Key, Executive Producer for Red Planet Pictures, says: "Don is an amazing actor and we're delighted that he’s joining us as the show enters another exciting new era. We've got huge plans for the new series and beyond, and I can't wait for the audience to meet Mervin and to see what we’ve got in store…"

Death in Paradise swats will note that like Ralf Little before him, Don has actually been in the show before. He popped up in "Stab in the Dark", an episode that went out in 2015 back when Kris Marshall was on detecting duties on Saint Marie as DI Humphrey Goodman. 

Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, adds: "We could not be happier to welcome Don to the series. Already known to BBC viewers from the likes of Sherwood, EastEnders, and Doctor Who, he’s long been one of the UK's most exciting actors. Death in Paradise is in brilliant hands — roll on Christmas!"

Meanwhile, fans can also look forward to Death in Paradise spin off Return to Paradise, which is set in Australia.
