It will be repeated, eventually, but not yet! They repeat all the episodes at some stage - ad infinitum! Today they are repeating the very first one!
Shame, I missed that!:mad: It was the best ep imo. The plots get ever more bizarre.......
I loved Neil Dudgeon in it - the relationship between him and Barnaby was good. Pity they won't both be in it together in future!
Personally, I think it's long long past its sell-by date.
I loved the new Barnaby - I can really see that working.
I will suspend quite a lot of belief for this wonderful show but even I thought the leap Barnaby made to understand about the 'heir pact' was just impossible to make. There was nothing that he learnt that really justified him coming up with that idea!
I can understand him pin pointing the carer because there really wasn't anyone else it could be - but how he 'guessed' the heir thing - well it came out of nowhere!
The funniest parts where when the mayor (bloke off corrie) was in his office being interviewed and you could see the official photo of him on the wall behind. He was preening like a right berk in the photo and it contrasted brilliantly with his seedy shenanigans. Brilliant acting by the corrie bloke. Played the part perfectly.
It did look like the whole cast had a real blast in this episode! - even if it was a bit more far fetched than normal!
If John Nettles is currently filming his last series I would hazard a guess there will be a Christmas special in 2011 which is when Neil Dudgeon will take over permanently in a similar way to the Doctor Who switchover last Christmas
I meant in the sense of the changeover perhaps being an integral part of the story. Something along the lines of Tom Barnaby being badly injured by the murderer part way through and John Barnaby coming up to investigate and then at the end Tom decides to retire and John decides to stay on in Midsommer
How did they make it look like the head was on the table for that woman! The head made me jump when he flashed his torch.
If it wasn't a lifelike plastercine head, the actress would have knelt beneath what looked like the dressing table top and stuck her head through a hole.

imagine being the actress and trying not to pull a face when they filmed it
I've just noticed that in these little 'Midsomer 'villages when you call to report an intruder you get a CID inspector, sergeant and loads of uniforms straight away.
Down our way your lucky to get a plastic policeman calling round the next day!!!
Wasn't it just? That woman Connie was dippy and annoying, in the old days she'd have been one of the first murdered.
It didn't gel at all, and two hours was far too long.
connie has survived several murders in badgers drift ,the murder capital of midsommer i think including the first ever one , the killing at badgers drift with the undertakers :DOo hang on im confusing her with the woman who babysat connies dog:o
Did Barnaby tell us at the end how the "Handy Mann", was it Laurence, new who the killer was which resulted in his death? Or was he killed simply because he had a key to Connie's cottage?
Same, the plots were more simple as well when Troy was in it, so we could actually keep up almost. It's such a shame Barnaby won't be in it much longer, he'll be missed. I do hope it will still be quite good though.

Has anyone any knowledge of a repeat, please?
Wife had missed start of adverts and thought it was part of the plot!

Aye, I know. Just sometimes you get a current repeat three days later at 2 a.m., that sort of thing. Eheu.
:eek::rolleyes::rolleyes:
..........but without the regeneration:D
Well obviously

Why don't they have an actual regeneration as Mark Gatiss who played the vicar does write Doctor Who and has appeared in it!
I always think of the 'Barnaby the Bear' song from the old children's programme when I watch the show.

They are showing older episodes on a Saturday now - not sure what time, it's either 1.05 or 3.05.
The Saturday episodes are at about 1PM (1:10 this coming Saturday).
Hasn't Barnaby now taken over from Frost in being the oldest copper in the country!
nah gene hunt must be older than both of them he was middle aged in the 70s

I used to love Troy
