Death in Paradise: An Unhelpful Aid (2011)
Avoid this episode of an otherwise great show! Terrible terrible acting
I am writing this review as love this series, which is generally well acted and written.
However, avoid this episode at all costs!! The acting by Shirley H appearing as Guest star is appalling,very amateur dramatic and her accent seems to change all the time. I don't understand why the shows producers would risk an episode of an otherwise good series by removing the two main characters and then introducing an annoying unprofessional shrill guest "star" . The plot premise is also poor, surely we are watching the show for the two main characters to have them both "missing" from the main action is a little odd so early in the series development.
I know the replacement character is meant to be annoying - that uncertainly achieved! Unfortunately through bad acting and unintelligible speech, rather than any design of screen writing. Very poor indeed!!!! I cannot understand who thought this actor would add to the show in episode 7. BBC who agreed to this casting!!!!
