Death in Paradise series 15 came to a close this week, and eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed that BBC One shared a touching tribute to a much-loved member of the show’s team, Lionel Lepage.
As the latest run wrapped up, the hit crime drama paused to honour someone who had played an important role behind the scenes.
Just after the end credits of episode 8 (Friday, March 27, 2027), the show displayed a tribute on screen. It read: “En la mémoire de notre ami Lionel Lepage 27 January 1986 – 25 June 2025.”
