《女作家与谋杀案》是一部非常著名且持续时间很久的美国经典侦探剧集。这部剧集共12季264集，从1984年开始在美国CBS电视台一直播放至1996年，之后又于1997年至2003年间陆续推出四部电视电影。Angela Lansbury扮演主角推理小说家兼业余侦探Jessica Flectcher，她在50岁左右失去了丈夫， 却成为了一名非常成功的推理小说作家，并且没有让成功冲昏头脑，拒绝了声望和金钱的诱惑，住在缅因州一个叫Cabot Cove的安逸的沿海小镇，和自己的老朋友们保持来往。在大部分剧集里，Jessica总能卷入一些离奇谋杀案的调查。警察们总是把表面上看来嫌疑很大的人抓走，而Jessica却觉得凶手另有其人。通过向每个嫌疑人询问一些其他人都想不到的问题，她总能找到真正的凶手，并在每集最后五分钟与之对峙，通过自己的推理指出对方的罪行。一部分凶手能够在Jessica的劝解下主动坦白罪行并向警方自首，也有一部分凶手会试图杀人灭口，而这时埋伏在暗处的警方人员便会及时赶到，将凶手当场逮捕。

　　现在美国最流行的一句话是什么？——你被解雇了！（You　are　fired！）这句美国人最怕听到的话，现在是风靡全美的电视热门语。也许就是因为最怕听到，所以乐意在电视上看它发生在别人身上。
　　其实就算美国人说话直接，公司解雇人也不会说“你被解雇了”，而是委婉的“我们很遗憾让你走”之类，但是说白了当然就是一个“你被解雇了”的意思。基本上在美国生活几乎人人都有被解雇或裁员或失去工作的经验，据说平均每人得摊上三次。所以，当CBS真实电视节目《幸存者》的构想者又想出一个以美国商业运作为主题的新真实电视节目的时候，这句直接了当的台词成了每集节目的落幕词，而该节目一出，就风靡一时，本来都以为真实电视热快退潮了，却又被该剧推向另一个高潮。一时间，美国办公室的闲话全是围绕该节目的内容，节目中的人物也一夜之间迎来他们的“十五分钟名气”。
　　这台正火爆的节目叫《学徒》（The　Apprentice），其构思是，在全美招十二位年轻人，到纽约跟地产大亨唐普（Trump）学徒，分成两组，每集由唐普安排一个经营项目，两队伍中输了的一方由唐普裁决谁负主要责任，然后解雇之———“你被解雇了”就由唐普说出。最后获胜者赢得担任唐普集团一个公司经理一年的机会。
　　每集从事的工作五花八门，比如推销瓶装水，用三轮车载客，经营餐厅，卖画，推销慈善活动，装修公寓并将之租出，等等，盈利高的队伍赢，盈利低的当然就是输。在商业发达的美国，这种揭商业运作内幕的节目，再以比赛的方式，而且用唐普这样本来在公众中就脸熟的大亨来主持，肯定是一炮而红，倒令人奇怪怎么没人早想出这样的点子。一时间，公司白领们集集不漏，而很多商学院的企管系也都把电视中的案例留成作业题要学生写报告。
　　恰恰是在美国经济低潮，人们对企业信任度也大打折扣的时候，这样一台节目的风行当然会让评论家有话说。该剧风靡之时电视上另一经常出现的新闻是很多公司总裁因涉及各种欺骗行为在受审，比如家政女王玛莎·斯图瓦特就因为买卖股票的问题刚被定罪，也因此不得不辞去自己创办的公司的总裁职务，“你被解雇了！”正发生在好多这样的大头目身上，也许几年前因华尔街泡沫危机深受其害的公众颇有些幸灾乐祸，这句台词可是说到点子上了！甚至有评论说，正值总统大选，布什都应该注意这个现象，因为美国人有被解雇的经验，但是在选举中则有解雇各级政府领导人的决定权，所以，“你被解雇了！”之所以流行，就是因为不光是小人物可能遭遇到，而且人人都可能遭遇到，总统也不例外。
　　而且意味深长的是，前几年假大空商业现象令人们在商业上趋于传统，所以由传统行业地产业大亨主持，案例也多是传统买卖的《学徒》的受欢迎，也暗示着对于膨胀经济的反弹。事实上，剧中最早被解雇的学徒就是一个开互联网公司的，而最受欢迎的学徒之一却是来自爱达荷州一个大学都没念过的房地产代理人，这些都是让人觉得有趣的巧合。抛弃假大空，回到实实在在，似乎是该剧传达的一个信息。
　　菲兹杰拉尔德说在美国生活中没有第二次机会，其实不对，因为美国人喜欢给落后者加油，也喜欢给摔倒后能爬起来的人加油。唐普就是这样一位曾经不可一世，面临破产，现在又卷土重来的人物。本来他在媒体上的形象不怎么样，他做房地产的张扬，跟老婆的离婚官司的好戏，都是小报冷嘲热讽的题材。可是，他现在不但在商业上卷土重来，而且《学徒》节目还重塑了他的公关形象，出现在节目中的他竟然让人觉得不那么令人讨厌，所以可谓是唐普的又一胜利。而这个节目也成为他的又一商业成功，因为他可不光是出演一个角色，而是对该节目有投资及发言权的。因为首季的成功，这节目已经成了正苦于《老友记》即将落幕没有热门节目跟上的NBC电视台的最新杀手锏，第二季的准备工作已经开始，申请当学徒的报名者成千上万，招募点队伍蜿蜒望不见尽头。Bloomingdale百货商店推出写着“你被解雇了”的T恤衫，一个钟头就卖出了300件！
　　这台剧的确在一定程度上真实反映了美国的办公室政治，因为没人想被解雇，人人要向上爬，所以也是充满了明争暗斗，再加上些男女同事的异性吸引力，性格不协调的人的格格不入以至口角，所有人都烦的某个同事，总之充满戏剧性，而这些在节目中都出现了，所以上班族们看得乐此不疲。如果想了解美国人的商业心理与游戏规则，怎么与之在商业上打交道等等，这节目绝对是部好教材。

　　Cameras are rolling on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe for the tenth anniversary series of BBC One’s hugely popular Death In Paradise, making it one of the first BBC single camera dramas to start filming since lockdown.
　　Red Planet Pictures have worked closely with industry bodies, other production companies and the BBC to develop a detailed Covid-19 protocol policy, implementing various safety measures including social distancing, face coverings and temperature and Covid-19 testing to minimise any risk of infection. There is also a full-time Covid-19 Supervisor on set to make sure the protocols are being implemented correctly and the latest guidance is incorporated into the policy. The health and safety of our cast and crew is paramount and production is working in line with the Guadeloupe advice as well as the industry guidelines.
　　Returning to the sun-soaked island to reprise their roles are Ralf Little as D.I. Neville Parker, Don Warrington as Commissioner Selwyn Patterson, Tobi Bakare as D.S. JP Hooper and Elizabeth Bourgine as Mayor Catherine Bordey.
　　As well as the usual baffling murders, intriguing puzzles and famous guest stars, viewers can expect some huge surprises as the show celebrates a decade as one of the most loved British dramas - and these surprises begin with the return of D.S. Florence Cassell, played by audience favourite Josephine Jobert. Florence thinks she’s ready to get back to work after her fiancé’s death two years ago - but she hasn’t banked on her new boss, Neville. As she tries to understand his peculiarities, sparks are bound to fly…
　　Neville soon realises he is existing in the Caribbean, rather than embracing life there. With Florence’s help, he determines to seize the day and finds himself starting to reveal some of his secrets - including of a romantic nature. But is Neville really built for a life in the tropics? And is a romantic relationship ever going to be possible for him?
　　After two series bringing law, order, and joy to the streets of Saint Marie, we’re sad to say goodbye to Ruby Patterson who made such a massive impact in such a short time! DS Madeleine Dumas will also be departing Saint Marie’s sunny shores and we would like to thank Shyko Amos and Aude Legastelois-Bidé for bringing Ruby and Madeleine to life and wish them all the very best for the future.
　　We are excited to welcome a brand-new face to the team, in the shape of Tahj Miles. His character, 18-year-old petty criminal Marlon Pryce, is a ball of energy and thinks he knows it all. But when he runs into JP, his life takes an unexpected turn and he finds himself looking at a very different future to the one he expected.
　　The arrival of twins is the least of JP’s challenges as he finds Marlon - and some shocking developments at work - testing him to his limits. Selwyn’s frustrations with his new detective take a back seat when he finds himself in the firing line and Catherine’s life is turned upside down when the death of a friend pulls her into grave danger.
　　Executive Producer, Tim Key, says: “We are delighted to be able to start filming and can’t wait to celebrate our tenth series with our audience. It’s a joy to be working with Josephine Jobert again and we think the viewers will love watching her trying to get to grips with Neville. And we are very happy to welcome Tahj Miles to the show. Marlon is going to make real waves once he arrives in Saint Marie. We’ve got some real treats for our long-term viewers as the series progresses - including some major surprises and the possibility of another returning face or two. We are determined to make this our biggest and best series yet and can’t wait to take our viewers back to Saint Marie in 2021.”
　　Red Planet Pictures' Joint Managing Director, Alex Jones, says: “Like every other production company, we have faced huge challenges to get to this point, so we are delighted to be up and running again and extremely grateful to everyone who has helped us get this far, not least the people of Deshaies and the region of Guadeloupe for their assistance. The safety of our cast and crew - as well as our friends in Guadeloupe - is the most important thing to us and our policies have been designed to protect everybody whilst still delivering an amazing series for our tenth year.”
　　BBC Commissioning Editor, Tommy Bulfin, says: “We are so pleased that filming has started on this special tenth anniversary series of Death In Paradise. This series is packed-full of captivating cases and unexpected twists, as well as some really great surprises for fans of the show. Thanks so much to Red Planet Pictures for working so hard to make it happen.”
　　Death In Paradise is a Red Planet Pictures production for BBC One made with the support of the region of Guadeloupe and internationally distributed by BBC Studios. Series ten is produced by Jim Poyser.
