Don Gilet Embraces 'Enjoyable' Pressure as Death In Paradise Previews Christmas Special

The actor frames his first year as an 'enjoyable pressure' to meet fan expectations.

Overview

  • Gilet discussed his first year as DI Mervin Wilson on BBC's The One Show, appearing alongside Ricky Gervais and Alex Scott to promote the festive episode.
  • He likened following previous leads to a 'second album' and a 'replacement Doctor Who', adding that viewers have not 'switched off'.
  • A preview clip teases a baffling case: a body found in a Saint Marie pool while the suspected murder weapon was locked in a drawer in England.
  • Gilet said Mervin now has a familial reason to remain on the island, reflecting a deepening personal arc.
  • The Christmas special is scheduled to air on BBC One on Sunday, December 28, at 8:30pm.
