'''''Death in Paradise''''' is a BBC detective drama series aired since January 2011. The show is set on the small fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie, where a power-sharing agreement between the British and French governments leads to a British Detective Inspector being appointed to run the police station in the island's capital of Honore. The show takes on a more light-hearted tone compared to typical gritty BBC detective dramas, using the "locked room" format of classic murder mystery detective stories. It is aired at the beginning of the year so as to help relieve the January blues.

In the pilot episode, "Arriving in Paradise" (S01E01) Police Inspector Charlie Hulme ([[Hugo Speer]]) is found shot to death with a [[Walther PPK]] inside a house's panic room. Later his replacement, Inspector Richard Poole ([[Ben Miller]]) test-fires the same pistol inside the panic room to see whether the shot could have been heard outside.
A [[Colt Defender]] clone, described as being a .22 calibre pistol, is used as a murder weapon in S01E01 "Arriving in Paradise." In it, Detective Inspector Chris Hulme ([[Hugo Speer]]) is shot to death in the panic room of a mansion during a party. This gun then appears to be used by DI Richard Poole ([[Ben Miller]]) to test whether guests at the party would have heard the gunshot. It is somewhat similar in appearance to the Umarex Colt Defender air pistol, although it doesn't appear to be an air pistol. The muzzle is clearly shown in one shot, revealing that the barrel is much too wide to actually be a .22 pistol. The gun is fitted with a suppressor when both fatal shots are fired.


Later, in "The Complex Murder" (S05E01), the murder victim is shot to death with a suppressed PPK. In both cases, the gun is described as being in .22 calibre.
This model is then used as the murder weapon in "Missing a Body?" (S01E04).

This article is about the television series. For the film, see Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise.

Death in Paradise is a BBC detective drama series aired since 2011. The show is set on the small fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie, where a power-sharing agreement between the British and French governments leads to a British Detective Inspector being appointed to run the police station in the island's capital of Honore. The show takes on a more light-hearted tone compared to typical gritty BBC detective dramas, using the "locked room" format of classic murder mystery detective stories. It is aired at the beginning of the year so as to help relieve the January blues.

The following weapons were used in the television series Death in Paradise (TV series):



Handguns

Colt Defender clone

A Colt Defender clone, described as being a .22 calibre pistol, is used as a murder weapon in S01E01 "Arriving in Paradise." In it, Detective Inspector Chris Hulme (Hugo Speer) is shot to death in the panic room of a mansion during a party. This gun then appears to be used by DI Richard Poole (Ben Miller) to test whether guests at the party would have heard the gunshot. It is somewhat similar in appearance to the Umarex Colt Defender air pistol, although it doesn't appear to be an air pistol. The muzzle is clearly shown in one shot, revealing that the barrel is much too wide to actually be a .22 pistol. The gun is fitted with a suppressor when both fatal shots are fired.

This model is then used as the murder weapon in "Missing a Body?" (S01E04).
