A first look at the Beyond Paradise Christmas Special gives us a clear idea of what to expect when the show returns this December.
The episode brings new guest stars to the seaside town of Shipton Abbott, with Adrian Edmondson, James Lance and Jonny Weldon joining the core cast led by Kris Marshall and Sally Bretton.
The story starts when Esther finds a man sitting on the steps of the police station with no memory.
All he has is a photo of Humphrey in his hand, which sends the team into a new case filled with questions.
As they try to work out who he is, they also deal with a long list of holiday problems that hit the town at the same time.
Martha works on a secret plan with help from Anne, Zoe and a special guest, while Kelby tries to help a man stuck inside a snowman suit.
The town also sees a sudden wave of surprise visitors, and each one brings new trouble for the team to handle.
With holiday crimes to solve, busy streets to manage and a warm reunion on the line, the group tries to keep the peace as a major reveal draws near.
Beyond Paradise airs on BBC One and iPlayer in the UK and BritBox internationally.
