BBC's Death in Paradise is seemingly on the hunt for a new detective after Ralf Little was confirmed to be leaving the show after five years.
DI Neville Parker, who has been leading the team in Saint Marie for several seasons now, is the longest running detective since the BBC drama launched over a decade ago.
The leading role was first played by Ben Miller, who played DI Richard Poole, and then was taken over by Kris Marshall, who starred as DI Humphrey Goodman.
When he left, Ardal O'Hanlon took over the lead detective role as DI Jack Mooney and finally, Ralf Little, who currently holds the role of DI Neville Parker.

There has been a lot of speculation about who will replace the actor with some viewers convinced that Florence Cassell, played by Josephine Jobert, could be the stand in as the detective for the upcoming new series.
However, that possibility is looking unlikely and a series of famous faces have now had their names thrown into the ring for who could be replacing Neville.
Betfred have revealed the odds of who may be next to take on the role, with Inbetweeners star Simon Bird at odds of 5/4, and a probability of 44.4 per cent.
Diane Morgan, who has starred in After Life and Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, is also one of the names in the mix, with the odds at 7/1 for her.
Gavin and Stacey star, Matthew Horne, is at odds of 5/1 whilst other names include comedian Romesh Ranganathan, former Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker and The Bill's Jaye Griffiths.
