Eddie

 

A crime drama/comedy based on the fictional Island of Saint-Marie. It features Ben Miller as straight-laced British policeman; Richard Poole, sent to the Island to solve the murder of a fellow British cop. After solving the case, he takes his place as the local police force's new detective.

 

Each episode features a new case to solve for Det. Inspector Poole and his team made up of Det. Sgt Camille Bordey, Dwayne Myers & Fidel Best.

 

Keith guest starred in episode 7 of 8 in the first series. His character, Eddie is the bass player of the newly reformed Venerators.

 

Venerators just happen to be policeman, Dwayne's favourite band and he persuades his colleagues to see their comeback gig with him. The first show reaches a premature end, however, with the shock of finding lead singer; Solly,  dead in his stage coffin. (His bizarre pre-show ritual involved him lying in the coffin for 15 minutes before being carried on stage for the performance)

 

All the group members become suspects as well as Solly's wife, and a female photographer who'd been hanging around backstage a lot. One person's alibi is discredited on photo evidence - The motive is money; the killer believing the band would achieve legend status with their focal member dead.
