Death in Paradise has become one of the BBC's most-loved programmes since it debuted in 2011, as proven by one American fan, who wrote: "The episodes trickle in on the PBS channel. I see no means of viewing this shows entire season and I don't know how to get this show!!!!! I have the BBC channel but they do not broadcast shows, only news. I am excited, but I will not be able to tune in."
Season 10 will consist of eight episodes, airing each Thursday on BBC One.
