Death in Paradise would usually air at 9pm on BBC One, but has instead been moved to Monday 9 March at 9pm.
However, if you can’t wait that long, you can watch it this Friday at 8:45pm on BBC iPlayer (that’s 15 minutes earlier than normal), as confirmed on Instagram.

After making a disastrous first impression on his half-brother Mervin, Solomon decided to remove himself from the equation and headed to Antigua, where he had some business to deal with.
But while the DI's frustration with Solomon was valid, he also placed some of the blame for the breakdown of their brief relationship on himself.
So, with some encouragement from Naomi, Mervin decided to travel to the island to find him and smooth things over.
But that backfired spectacularly when he was seemingly taken hostage.
