Don’t miss… [REACTION] [UPDATE]
In Death in Paradise, the actor took on the role of Artie O’Farrell – a pariah who accused home team captain Ted Haddon of cheating. The show follows DI Mackenzie Clarke (Anna Samson) and her sidekick Colin Cartwright (Lloyd Griffith) attempt to solve Dolphin Cove’s latest murder.
Friday’s episode saw the duo investigate the death of a man who was killed in broad daylight during a quiet afternoon of lawn bowls.
The seemingly quiet afternoon of lawn bowls soon turned into to chaos when shots rang out from an antique ornamental bushranger’s gun – resulting in a fatality. There are four people in the frame for the crime, including Ted, but all seem to have plausible alibis.
