Catherine Tyldesley and Shayne Ward's dream cameos for The Good Ship Murder

Catherine Tyldesley and Shayne Ward want Jane McDonald and David Tennant to star in 'The Good Ship Murder'.

The former 'Coronation Street' actors co-star as First Officer Kate Woods and cabaret singer Jack Grayling in the new Channel 5 mystery drama and have high hopes for some celebrity cameos in season two.

Catherine, 40, told RadioTimes.com: "I've already got a lot of my friends who are like, 'Oh my God, I can’t believe you went filming in Malta on a cruise ship! Is there a second series? I need to get on to my agent!'

"Like, a lot of actors all want to do' Death in Paradise' because of the location. And I've already got people asking me if we’re going again.

"It would be sacrilegious to not give Jane McDonald some kind of cameo – [even] walking past in the background, she's got to get in there at some point."

And Shane, 38, added: "I’ve already got a lovely rapport with [Jane]. So, I mean, she has to come onto the ship and do something. There's no two ways about it.

"[It would be] an absolute dream to even be in a scene with someone like David Tennant. He can steal the scene a thousand times over, I’d just be grateful."
