Death in Paradise’s Ralf Little shocks fans with major update on popular co-star
DEATH in Paradise veteran Ralf Little has teased fans with an update to one character for this season.
Ralf has starred in the tropical show as DI Neville Parker since season nine, which aired in 2020.
The Royle Family actor regularly checks in online to share news on Death in Paradise and sometimes even conducts Q&As with fellow castmates to keep viewers at bay.
In his latest social media update on the show, he gave an update on his reptilian friend Harry.
In an Instagram video, Ralf spoke directly to the camera, selfie style, and said: “So get this, we used to do Harry with a silver ball that they used to use to reflect the lights, so they knew how to CGI him in.
“But that’s all changed now. We have more technology, they use a different type of camera, but this is now what I work with.”
He panned the camera to reveal a static lizard figurine modelled of course on Harry.
The little plastic Harry is now used for eye line and point of reference and the rest is done in post-production.
Figurine Harry was a hit with Ralf’s followers however.
A Death in Paradise fan account commented: “We really need some Death in Paradise merch because I would pay so much money for that Harry figurine.”
“I love Harry even more now….,” another chimed in.
Harry lovers united online with the comments flooding in.
A social media user said: “I love Harry he’s such a joy. I’m glad he is part of the cast,” with a second adding: “What an icon.”
One viewer joked: “Gutted I thought Harry was an A-list actor.”
Death in Paradise returns with a Christmas special later this year.
