That's a guilty pleasure of mine even though the "Saint Marie" crime-rate would surely make any sane Brit visiting for a holiday/dive/archaeological-dig think twice about visiting since the chance they get bumped off is extraordinarily high.
It's always amusing to see a relatively decent cast of actors slumming it a bit for the series - no doubt enjoying the fact that they get to spend a couple of weeks in the Caribbean to shoot their episode. The series was originally a co-commission with a French TV network - and it's still shown there. The series benefits from French government production credits by filming in Guadalupe. I think it does well for BBC One because while it's always on in Jan/Feb when it's cold outside, it's set somewhere sunny and hot. And it's a rare British show with a significant black cast.
