The Good Ship Murder docks in Valletta, Malta, with brothers Christopher and Dominic onboard – but who plays who in the guest cast of series 3 episode 6?
This week, the successful and charismatic Dominic is accompanied by his wife Rosie. But Dominic’s alpha- male tendencies grate constantly with his younger sibling. Lacking in confidence, Christopher feels excluded from the family business.
Dominic suggests that the brothers go on a scavenger hunt around Valletta – but really it’s just an excuse to be competitive. But, guess what? Things don’t go the way Dominic planned when he ends up dead. And various suspects emerge, not least his little bro.
Here’s everything you need to know about the guest cast of The Good Ship Murder series 3 episode 6.

Good Ship Murder series 3 episode 6 cast: Nitin Ganatra is Dominic Monkford
Nitin Ganatra, who was actually born in Kenya, stars as Dominic Monkford in The Good Ship Murder this week. Dominic is the rather grating cruiser, who meets a sticky end during his sunny family holiday. And there’s quite the array of suspects – his brother Christopher, his wife Rosie, and hunt operator Mirko.
Soap fans will know Nitin best for playing Masood Ahmed in EastEnders. He portrayed the extremely popular character between 2007 and 2019. His character was known for his often troubled marriage to Zainab Masood, affair with Jane Beale, eventually bankruptcy, and his struggle to accept his son Syed’s homosexuality.
Nitin Ganatra, 58, has a 35-year career, with early roles in TV series such as Extremely Dangerous, The Jury, Rescue Me, and Being April. Before his famous role in Easties, he portrayed Sami Sattar in Holby City in 2003 until 2004.
Other notable roles include Nitin (himself basically) in Meet the Magoons, Sid Gokahani in Jane Hall, Dev Raja in Mumbai Calling, Mr Daisy in The Worst Witch, and Charles Ambrose in The Essex Serpent.
More recently, Nitin has been a very busy boy. He’s appeared in Breeders, Bodies, 3 Body Problem, Sexy Beast, Mr Bigstuff, and Sweetpea – just in the past three years. He also plays Mr Robertson in Alan Carr comedy Changing Ends.
