The "Beyond Paradise Christmas Special" might not be the Brink's-Mat heist but a break-in at the local church still has to be investigated and that's without possible paranormal activity - or malicious behavior masquerading as such - elsewhere taking up the precious time of DI Goodman Humphrey (played by Kris Marshall) and DS Esther Williams (Zahra Ahmadi).
Here's how to watch "Beyond Paradise Christmas Special" online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE.
