Beyond Paradise continues this Friday, and Unforgotten fans will recognise one of the guest cast in episode 5.
In fact, there are several popular actors who join the cast of the BBC One series as it continues its first run.
There’s also a TV legend from The Crown, a very recognisable face from Endeavour, and someone with a famous stand-up comedian for a brother!
In the episode, panic spreads throughout Shipton Abbott when an arsonist targets three local businesses, scrawling the word PIG at the scene of each fire.
Humphrey and the team are baffled until they realise the fires follow an unusual pattern by invoking the Three Little Pigs fable…
