Kris Marshall has spoken about his future on the BBC crime drama Beyond Paradise, revealing that he continues to pitch a surfing-themed episode to producers. The actor, best known for playing Detective Humphrey Goodman, made the remarks during an appearance on Virgin Radio's The Chris Evans Show.
Marshall said he is happy with his current role and has no other projects lined up, stating he loves the show and its storylines. When asked if he could influence plotlines, he admitted he often requests a surfing episode, noting the show is set on the south coast while surfing is typically associated with the north coast. He confirmed he owns three surfboards.
The actor also teased potential drama for his character's marriage to Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton), asking humorously, 'How long can a marriage last?' before quickly dismissing it as a joke. However, the radio host suggested he was not joking, though Marshall refused to give away spoilers.
Addressing the show's international appeal, Marshall acknowledged complaints from Australian viewers about delayed releases. He noted that season three ended a few weeks behind the UK, but filming for the next season is about to begin.
Beyond Paradise returns for its fourth season on BBC One at 8pm tonight (April 24).
