Wasn't the house where the girl lived the same house that was in an episode of Lewis last year?
I'm sure that entrance to the house via a bridge over a river was familiar. |

The dog is ace, the whole point of his wife and the the dog is to provide a light hearted moment between the main story. If you don't like the dog, woof woof.
The actual story/characters etc was crap this week though. Chess moves left on victims, you couldn't make it up. |

This is a real opportunity to dispel the accusations of racism that have dogged the show - wonder if we'll have a hyper-intelligent Asian woman as the next sergeant with parents that were disappointed she never became a doctor or a burly black man with an eye for the ladies (anyone notice that two shows in a row the young black guy was known for his exploits with women?).

They've always used him to various degrees as the "thicko" policeman to make both Barney Bees look more intelligent.

I'll miss Jones. I thought his character if better written had some potential - maybe even to carry the series on like Lewis.
The sidekicks in MM have never had their own "life" outside the job, it's always been about the main man. I know some writers gave Jones a girl friend (the fit fire fighting one, what happened to her?) I do hope they don't just drop him like DS Scott. |

The appeal of this show is the "rose tinted glasses effect" as it mostly reflects the country as we'd like to see it.

In "The House in the Woods", Barnaby describes Scott as having called him to say he was ill and thus unable to come to work. Barnaby invites Ben Jones to assist him on that case. After this incident, no more is heard from Scott, and Jones becomes the new deputy. On the subject of exits, what happened to Constable Gail Stephens? |
