Peep Show fans will no doubt be overjoyed to see the actor and comedian, who also took part in Strictly Come Dancing, appear in the cosy crime drama on Friday (January 13, 2023).
He guest stars alongside several other famous faces from the world of TV – including a rebel from Andor, and a loveable mum from After Life.
Here’s a rundown of the guest cast in series 12 episode 2 of Death in Paradise.
Death in Paradise preview
Ralf Little returns as DI Neville Parker, who is called to investigate when a member of a ‘Preppers commune’ (preparing for Doomsday) is found dead.
The lifeless body of Doomsday prepper Kit Martin is discovered poisoned inside a sealed underground bunker.
However, CCTV footage shows that no one went in or came out while he was in there…
So did he take his own life?
While the first indication is that he died by suicide, a video recording of Kit talking about the future is found on a mobile phone and foul play becomes apparent.
Meanwhile, Neville remains smitten by Sophie, as they enjoy a number of dates.
Robert Webb stars as Justin West
Peep Show star Robert Webb stars as commune resident Justin West, a fellow Doomsday prepper who lived alongside the murdered Kit Martin.
Lincolnshire-born Robert, 50, is best known for his role in Peep Show, which he created and starred in with David Mitchell.
The pair also created the sketch show That Mitchell and Webb Look and the sitcom Back.
