Ben Miller hails Caribbean paradise
Comedian and actor Ben Miller is loving filming a new BBC detective series in the Caribbean.
The Primeval star is currently filming in Guadeloupe for the new show, to be shown on BBC1 later this year.
The new series, called Death in Paradise, sees Ben play the role of a British detective who is posted to the Caribbean island of Sainte Marie despite hating sun, sea and sand.
But Ben has been loving the location, having already visited a few of the surrounding islands.
He said: “It’s amazing. Guadeloupe where we’re filming, there’s quite a few different islands but the two main ones are Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre.
“Basse-Terre is very flat and touristy and where they grow loads of sugar cane and Grande-Terre is volcanic, very wild and basically just rainforest and beaches, very little tourism. Completely unlike any other place I’ve ever been.”
The show could encourage people to visit the region on holiday, and may even tempt the more adventurous to consider sailing in the Caribbean to experience the different islands like Ben.
However those looking for a family holiday may also want to consider the region as Ben said his children loved the beaches.
He said: “They’ve come out (to visit me). My son loves it out there absolutely loves it. The last time he was out there he was just running about on the beach going ‘I love it here I love it here.’”
