Long Live DI Richard Poole!

A fansite for the most irritating, pedantic, funny YET the best and most brilliant detective in the BBC TV series Death in Paradise, Detective Inspector Richard Poole.

Happy Birthday, Sara Martins!

It's that time of the year again when this fansite gives homage to our most favourite and certainly most unforgettable detective sergeant in Death in Paradise. Je te souhaite plein de bonheur en cette journée spéciale, Sara Martins a.k.a. Detective Sergeant Camille Bordey! Song used: Unforgettable by Dinah Washington Clips and Screenshots used: DiP Seasons 1 and 2

Oh wow! Where do I begin? Y’all know we love Sara Martins on this fansite. We love her to bits and for us, she will always be the best detective sergeant in Death in Paradise. As her birthday song states, she’s truly unforgettable as DS Camille Bordey. 

I’m glad that she remains active as an actor in France and continues to hone her acting skills. I wish that some of the series she’s in would be shown here in the US. Sadly, I’ve only seen the first season of Detectives (which is as old as DiP). It would be awesome to see her in our tellies again (and no, American Odyssey doesn’t count…LOL).

Be that as it may, we still wish her more successes and happiness in both her career and personal life. Sara, je te souhaite beaucoup de santé, de bonheur, des jours ensoleillés et des moments inoubliables. Joyeux anniversaire!

You will always be unforgettable to me. Thank you for being the DS that I need. I still think you’re stroppy, messy and so very French, not to mention...um, yes, I do remember you said you can beat me in a fistfight so I’ll stop. Yes, if I continue on you might forget you’re a police officer...

Um, right. Like I said our time together will always be memorable to me. Happy Birthday, Sara!

It’s that time of the year again and @dirichardpooleforever pays tribute to the actor who brought Death in Paradise to life the first time it aired five years or so ago. The show has gone through a lot of changes (as television shows are wont to do) but DI Richard Poole’s Death in Paradise will always be closest to my heart. And it’s because of how brilliantly Ben Miller portrayed him: a sort of genius misanthrope with an awkward endearing heart. So I will always be grateful that he took on the role (albeit short and bittersweet) and gave us the best detective inspector in paradise. A long life and fruitful career to you, Mr. Miller! <3

Look, don't get me wrong. I'm sure the Caribbean's great, beach holidays and snorkeling. But I can't work here, let alone live here. I don't know if anybody's noticed but there's a tree growing through my front room.

Happy Birthday, Sara Martins!

Thank you for being Detective Sergeant Camille Bordey to Detective Inspector Richard Poole. <3

[dirichardpooleforever]

Of course, DI Poole will not be left out of the celebration. DS Bordey is the yin to his yang, the peanut butter to his jelly, the cheese to his macaroni...oh you get the picture. LOL. But most of all, she is his most capable DS who infuriates him, questions him, challenges him and makes his see another perspective. She’s the one who always reminds him that he is no longer alone in solving his puzzles. He has her. He has the team. And that, folks, is why they have such a great partnership.

‘He was the life and soul of the party, everybody’s mate. Except mine. He sort of singled me out. Started calling me Dick. Before I knew it, the whole station was calling me Dick. That’s sort of who I became really. Dick the freak in the corner. Dick the jobsworth. Dick who always does it by the book. Dick who never gets asked to the pub at lunchtime. That’s just what bullies do, isn’t it? They turn the pack against you by setting you apart from the group. Simple, stupid name-calling, isn’t it, really? But very effective.’
