Sounded to me that when he said "parting gift" or whatever it was, it meant he was retiring.
Only Jones left...... |

Sorry, I can't take Neil Dudgeon seriously in Midsomer. On tonights case I just didn't find him plausible when he suddenly came out with these leaps of deduction to solve the mystery. They should of killed the series when Bergerac retired!

Anyone would think your being forced too. |

Steady on! It was lacklustre, also any plot which requires 5 minutes of exposition is not a good one.
The ad breaks don't help any mystery thats chopped into 15 min chunks is going to suffer. |

According to this Barry Jackson was going to quit but changed his mind he got the hump on because he wasn't featured enough in the show. I find it amusing he thinks he's been moved upto third of course you third now there's no Joyce and Cully... he seems to think he's more than the show really needs. |

I would have said it was the other way round the atmosphere void of central heating being replaced by a roaring warm pub fire.

Hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The new Barnaby is like a breath of fresh air. We have watched MM sice the first episode and it was getting a bit tired in our opinion. Mind you, if they had got rid of Joyce and Cully, it would have improved the original no end. Can't say I'm sorry to see the back of George either

![]() Anyway....I enjoyed it tonight. Jones seemed more like his old self, the story was interesting. I like new Barnaby, but as a wife I preferred Joyce. Sorry, but I'm not taking to this new Mrs B. She has no interesting hobbies. ![]() And I felt so sorry for poor Sykes being left with ultra strict dog-minding woman! |

Judging by the 'BENTLEY LOC' and 'BENTLEY BASE' signs cable-tied to lamp posts that were in evidence around Beaconsfield area last week, there's a new episode being shot right now. Of course Bentley must do other things, but it's always been a good sign in the past.

In my opinion, Joyce and Cully were included in the old series to make Nettle's character less one dimensional.
I guess the dog and the wife are for the same purpose with this one. It's an enjoyable programme, though I've never thought they've handled a "new age" storyline without it looking a bit silly. One in the previous series had a character wearing an obvious long haired wig and a gaudy striped robe, ludicrous. I'm just wondering on what sort of course Jones had been. Was it a "Stupidity Consolidation Course?" as he's always unnecessarily portrayed as being a bit thick. |

Well...
I've tried but i'm afraid its simply not any good.
I admire them for trying to move on after Tom Left but the fact is this series is simply no good. Its had a good run, time for it to sleep now. |

![]() All this fuss about "the new Barnaby is rubbish" is just like what happens in the Doctor Who forums when he regenerates |

Overall I thought it was a pretty poor episode. I still prefer the old repeats on ITV in the afternoon.

Well I recorded it, partly because of The Apprentice and partly to skip the adverts.
After having watched the first ten minutes of this episode so far, I'm more and more inclined to skip the bits with Neil Dudgeon in. What did the lengthy, boring, scene of him walking the dog and meeting other dogs on the way (as you do) add to the plot? And then that business of meeting forensic chappie's sister. Perhaps I'll go back and watch the rest, even if only to find out what the initial scene was all about - that's if I don't expire first of terminal boredom. |
