The BBC will air Return to Paradise, a new Australia-set spin-off from one of the UK’s most watched dramas Death in Paradise. Filming next year, the six-part series will be produced by BBC Studios Productions Australia with Red Planet Pictures for the ABC, in association with the BBC.
Set in the idyllic, beachside hamlet of Dolphin Cove, Return to Paradise is six gripping, twisting and fiendishly clever murder mysteries – all against the spectacular backdrop of the Australian coastal landscape.
Australian ex-pat Mackenzie Clarke is the seemingly golden girl of the London Metropolitan police force – with an intuitive approach to detective work, she has built a reputation for being able to crack the most impossible of cases. However, she’s suddenly forced to up sticks and move back to her childhood home of Dolphin Cove, a beautiful, coastal paradise… and Mackenzie’s worst nightmare.
Having escaped her hometown at the earliest opportunity six years ago, Mack vowed she'd never come back, leaving a lot of unfinished business and unanswered questions. On her return she’s still no fan of the town, and the people of Dolphin Cove are certainly no fans of hers. In fact everyone would prefer her not to be there, including Mackenzie herself.
But when a murder takes place in Dolphin Cove, Mack can’t help but put her inspired detective brilliance to good use and determines, despite her reservations, that she needs to make the best of it, including tying up the loose ends with the man she left at the altar six years ago.

Australian television drama series

蒂姆·温顿的小说《云街》是澳大利亚的经典小说之一。有人曾做了这样的一个比较，《云街》在澳大利亚的地位犹如乔治·奥威尔的《1984》和哈珀·李的《杀死一只知更鸟》在英美的地位。在2003年的“澳大利亚作家民意调查”（ABC/Australian Society of Authors poll）中，《云街》居于澳大利亚人最喜爱的澳大利亚作品榜首。基于《云街》在澳大利亚的经典地位，澳大利亚影秀（Australia Showtime）发起了一项改编澳大利亚经典的活动，《云街》便是此次经典改编的对象，由此《云街》由小说走向了屏幕。早在2002年“澳大利亚影秀”就开始关注对于《云街》改编的演员物色，2008年与澳大利亚最为资深的影片制作公司“屏幕时间”联手真正开始到改编《云街》的制作当中，此项改编活动被命名为“澳大利亚经典作品的影视改编”。马修·沙维尔被任命为导演，基于此前他在执导影片中屡获大奖的精彩表现。
在《云街》影视化过程中，澳大利亚影秀调配了众多电影制作的专家，从演员试镜、人物服饰、影片布景、拍摄选址等方面做了科学详尽的论证。云街不仅仅是一个街道的名字，也是小说中那个象征着澳洲大陆这个大社区的房子的名字，兰姆一家和皮克斯一家合住的居所。这所房子将温顿小说的社区意识书写的淋漓尽致。因此，在电影改编当中，这所房子的“屏幕化”占据着及其重要的地位，也是影片从头至尾的一个重要背景场所。马里（Stuart Murry）认为“与影片中的神秘的建筑相反的是，云街里的世界更加完美的呈现了人们的个体以及社区身份”。（Murry， 2003：83）温顿在云街这所房子的屏幕形象设计上和制片人格雷格·汉瑞克（Greg Haddrick）密切合作，旨在让小说的屏幕化获得最佳的艺术表现效果，这个艺术效果是温顿小说艺术影响力的延伸。云街这所房子从选址到建设过程花费了八周时间，云街这条街道就坐落在小说中提到的真实西澳附近的地域，从而这种澳大利亚风貌在影片当中得以再现。
温顿本人也积极投身于其小说的改编当中，出任电影版《云街》的剧作者。温顿一丝不苟致力于《云街》剧本语言的改写之中，这在很多作家看来是不可思议之事。小说家同意将其小说改编成电影实属常见，但是在绝大多数情况下作家本人不会充当改编剧的剧作者，作家有警惕性地与其小说改编保持一种距离，从而保护其小说这个相对封闭而又独立的艺术体的艺术性。美籍印度裔女作家裘帕·拉希丽（Jhumpa Lahiri）就曾表示她的小说《同名人》与其电影版是相互独立的艺术体。在这一论点上，温顿以一个崭新且高昂的姿态拥抱其小说与电影版作品为一个有机统一的整体。温顿的先锋姿态引人关注的，更值得评论界来品评。其举动和意蕴包含着深刻的人文精神和社会责任意识。
