Richard Signy’s “The Man with the Golden Gun”, from a teleplay penned by Jack Lothian, serves as the third season penultimate episode. The episode, first televised in the British Isles on Tuesday, 25 Feb. 2014, reached a little under eight and a half million viewers at the time of broadcast.

Signy’s “The Man with the Golden Gun”, not to be confused with the James Bond film of the same title, guest stars Jospeh Marcell, Chris Obi, Jimmy Akingbola, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Pippa Bennett-Warner, and Caroline Proust.

Marcell, Obi, Akingbola, Amuka-Bird, Bennett-Warner, and Proust, having joined the series regulars for this third season instalment, respectively portray Alexander Jackson, Joseph Jackson, Terrance Jackson, Anna Jackson, Rosie Curloo, and Emily Benoit.

One would have thought, given how being unpopular on Saint Marie has a tendency to lead to being murdered, certain people would make more of an effort to be sociably likeable. It’s obvious, noting how Alex Jackson was shot to death on his privately owned island, the unpopular land developer didn’t get that particular memo.
