Why are the two schoolgirls Welsh, and I think the debt collector sounded a bit Welsh as does Jones. I thought this was in Berkshire.

My god this bares no resemblence to the previous Midsomer Murders; dreadful acting, dreadful script, it cannot be the same production team can it. That scene in the interview room was just so bad!!
It's so dire it'll be a good book instead now I think. |

Aye i hadn't realised in my excitement that somebody else had pointed out who the dog was, and i went and posted without reading the rest of the thread. Sorry.
![]() Is he the same dog in the Peter Kaye advert, can't remember what it's flogging, but it shows a crufts type event and he's sent to get a newspaper? Other half's got bored, and switched over onto something else. My OH is still watching but as you can see I'm reading DS threads - much more entertaining. Have to say, I'm quite liking the new Barnaby, his dog and his relationship with Tough Guy Jones! |

Love it for all it's daftness and quirky thinking!
The dog is the Harvey one isn't he? |

Well I liked Dudgeon, but didn't like this story.
Hopefully the next will be better. |

Hopefully the next will be better. I also didn't like the change in Jones's character. I know he would have been trying to impress but I don't think it was plausible that he would turn physical like that. |

I know it's a minor complaint, but at the end why would they put someone who had murdered three people, and was about to add a fourth, unhandcuffed in the front passenger seat of the police van.
It sort of summed up the whole episode for me, had a lot of potential but everything just felt a little bit off. |

Not a great episode, but OK. I think the two main characters will work well together, now they've sussed each other out.
And it looks like we will see a more jokey Midsomer than previously. |

For those keeping count, I spotted one person of Asian ethnicity.

I thought the dog was the only creditable actor in this.

I really liked the new Barnaby - and loved his dog (made me smile when the Harvey ad appeared).
Bits of it were quite funny - all the neighbours coming round. I don't think the story was worse than other MMs have been. They are always a bit ropey imo. A bit of miscasting with the 30 year old schoolgirl. And I, too, wondered why the Welshness? But what on earth has happened to Jones? I like Jones, but I thought they were setting him up to get sacked he was so bad at his job in this. I hope he's not going to be set up as the klutz every week. |

Were we ever meant to take the stories seriously, especially some of the later ones? This was no dafter than usual and I like the new Barnaby. The dog is adorable. I wonder if the new Mrs Barnaby will be a jinx, like poor Joyce. Every time she joined something - a choir or an art society or somesuch - they'd start dropping like flies.

Loved the new Barnaby - Neil Dudgeon is rather dishy!! Also loved the dog - how cute! Okay so the story was a tad ropey but I can see only good things ahead

I enjoyed it. Especially as there was no Joyce or Cully - although I do miss Cully's husband!

I think the main focus of this episode was to cement the new Barnaby/Jones partnership more so than the murder mystery itself, I guess next episode will cement the new Mrs Barnaby and the family.

I enjoyed this new set-up although it has lost its "villagey" feel, which might not be a bad thing once we get used to it. The new Barnaby is fab - I love his droll sense of humour and lazy ways (eg no unpacking and the tin of beans sitting on the gas hob), the dog is a lovely touch and I had a giggle at all the touches of comedy dotted throughout.
I've never rated Samantha Bond's acting so I was disappointed to see her dragged out again for this episode, and I the schoolgirls were all a bit too St Trinians for my liking. But overall I warmed to it by the last half hour and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all pans out. I am still annoyed though that STV isn't showing this new series at the same time as the rest of the country, grrrrrr!!! ![]() P.S. does anybody know who is going to play the new Mrs Barnaby? |
