TV DRAMABEYOND PARADISE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL21 December, 9pm, BBC1The Paradise murder-mystery empire is huge again this Christmas. Jean is plunged into her most perilous adventure yet when, at a Christmas Eve museum event where she's meant to be authenticating a treasure that once belonged to Marie Antoinette, she discovers a ticking time bomb. A double dose of Christmas midwifery is delivered in this last festive special before the team take a break. Christine (the magnificent Elaine C Smith) won't shut up about her special Christmas trip, while Cathy (Doon Mackichan) spews venom and vape fumes. But the show must go on, and this Christmas special will see Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly hosting together for the last time before waltzing off to pastures new.
