   A similar Australian made show under agreement is the "Death in   
   Paradise" spin-off series "Return to Paradise". Plus of course the quiz   
   and reality shows such as "The Chase Australia" and "The Chase New   
   Zealand" (which was made in the Australian studio with the Australian   
   chaser).
