The 51-year-old actor, who plays DI Humphrey Goodman on the popular programme, dreamed of doing his own stunts and was set to skydive for the upcoming series.
However, bosses shot this idea down, telling the actor that this would pose a major insurance issue.
BBC bosses issue stern warning to Beyond Paradise star Kris Marshall over stunts
The Beyond Paradise actor told The Mirror: “I was really up for it, though there was a small matter of insurance.
“They said, ‘no chance.’ If it was the last day of filming, they would probably let me do it. But there’s an adage that says to never do a dangerous stunt on your last day of filming.”
Beyond his character’s many stunts, the show has been full of ups and downs.
BBC fans were left reeling last season when Humphrey and Martha decided against marrying.
Despite this, their relationship is stronger than ever with the pair being “in a really good spot together”.
The show is set to make a triumphant return later this month with fans across the UK eager to sink their teeth into another gripping storyline.
