I forgot to watch!
Saw a headline this morning which said that this show has reached 'hokum overload' or some such description.

Well it certainly kept the body count going throughout the episode!
Very silly, but enjoyable!

The lifeboat incident made me laugh out loud! Hilarious. I did think it missed a scene between the ending of the crime and Barnaby cleaning a cupboard (would you do that in your work suit?). A sort of rumination on what had gone on.

Must admit I’m glad it’s back but wasn’t impressed with this episode. Hope it improves for the next ones.

It was a bit daft. Even for Midsomer

It’s not on this weekend so I wonder when we will get the rest of the series?

And I'm guessing Betty is now at University?

She wasn’t in the episode at all!

Enjoyed watching it tonight instead of going to usual quiz. Thought it was bonkers, but it had me hooked. Betty. No sign at all of her. She can't be that old yet, can she? I'm out of touch with these episode being so few and far between. Great to see the doggy

Funny you both should bring up Betty as last night I watched episode that was shown on ITV3 last night. It was from series 16 and showed Barnaby rushing back from Denmark to attend Betty’s birth. That was from 2013, so she’d be nearly 11 by now ( I think the episode I saw was broadcast on Christmas Eve, according to Google).

It was the last series that got me. One episode she was about 5. Next episode she looked 10! . But that series took 2 years to make so ....

I never felt they played a convincing family at all. Perhaps they have decided that they will cut costs and not hire a young actor. I also read an article online (can’t remember where but no doubt unreliable) that the show is doing badly and might well be dropped! 😱 OH NO!

It's only doing badly as it's so sporadic and few and far between. I love Midsomer Murders, but I'd rather see it in proper series form.

Agreed, it’s not on this coming weekend and it’s very easy to lose track.
