Death in Paradise spoilers

In the sixth episode tonight (February 13), a desert island survival course goes wrong when the leader Will Arnott (Daniel Caltagirone) – a trained survival expert and ex-SAS soldier – is found dead in the forest of a remote island near Saint Marie.

Having ventured off into the wilderness alone and with no other people on the island apart from the trip participants – Casey Booth (Chloe Harris), Dave Hammond (Robert Londsdale), Bethan Miller (Alexandra Roach) and Malcolm Simmons (Sam Troughton) – suspicion soon falls upon them.

But with all of the course members providing one another with an alibi, how could any of them have committed the murder?

With D.I. Neville Parker still unable to fly back to Manchester, his help is requested to solve this mysterious murder. Neville and the Commissioner follow a lead which takes them back to the remote island. However with a storm on the horizon, will they be caught upstream without a paddle?

Meanwhile, JP (Tobi Bakare) receives some life-changing news.

Death in Paradise airs tonight at 9PM on BBC One.
