The Key Ingredients to Death in Paradise's Success

A love of Death in Paradise makes a really good writer for the show. A bit of an all-rounder as a writer so that you have knowledge about how crime drama works but are not bad at turning your hand to comedy and also tackling more serious emotional stuff. Why do you think Death in Paradise has been so successful? Well I sort of have a rehearsed answer for this because I get asked it quite a lot. It's just a sort of perfect mix of lots of different elements that all come together to create something that doesn't ask the audience to do anything other than enjoy it.
