I think their programmes are normally only available for 7 days - would be nice if they were there longer like the BBC iPlayer.

I've got next week's ep set to record already - don't want to watch live as it clashes with Wolf Hall at the moment.

Amanda Burton really can't act she just looks smug all the time.
Also when Nelson arrested the killer didn't he give her the old arrest speech. Another thing that grates on my OH. What has happened to the researchers, don't tell me they have been killed off by the MM team. |

I agree with that, she always has a smug look in all her characters. My OH has always disliked her since her days in Brookside when she played Heather and was awful to her husband, I think his name was Rob. She was a real bitch in that and then when she joined Silent Witness he refused to watch it. Anything she is on we have the same discussion about her playing a bitch.

Tonight's episode was the best of the new series by far! I thought it was great. And I correctly guessed the murderer's identity.

And with a bowl of eggs and a beer garden umbrella continuing the pioneering work in unusual murder weapons.
My tip for next week is a frozen leg of lamb. |

Well it wasn't that hard the murderer was about the only one left.

It was also hard to believe that London would have been the slightest bit interested in having the Lower Crosby Musical Festival in the city. All it was were a few locals singing in the pub. |

Painfully slow episode. As for the camerawork, first hour was OK but then, for no reason, they decided to go all shaky. Switched off soon after.

I'm afraid this is past its sell by date for me.
I watched about five minutes of my recording, then deleted it and took it off "series record." The main characters are poor. The new "Barney Bee," should go back to doing what he was best at.................chauffeuring Miss Bradley. |

Agreed! Looking increasingly tired in content and production. Since the change of EP the quality has declined |

I mean I guessed in the first half, when there were still a number of suspects in the frame.

Tried my best with the 'new bloke' but seriously
find Neil Dudgeon's style (in this at any rate) to be lethargic , bordering on comatose. And his new sidekick looks like a Worzel Gummidge stand in. Plus 'New Barnaby's' wife is playing the same sort of wooden 'educated woman' that she did in the 'Heartbeat' series, only a bit older. I still like the ones that get repeated with John Nettles though, no matter how ludicrous the plots! |

Cully played by Laura Howard, was presented as an out-of-work actress, who drifted in and out of episodes for most of the time. I guess "life imitated art," in the end, as she was eventually written out. Maybe to spend more time doing actual theatre work. |

Last episode was spoiled by the ridiculous speaker murder, those speakers you could see were no more than balsa wood or even inflated they were literally bouncing on him, I actually thought the murderer was going to kill him I never thought they would make out they were heavy enough to crush him.
When he put the things in his mouth it reminded me of the Inkpen-Thomas murder. |

![]() Hopefully one where the mangy cur gets run over by his owner who, in an uncharacteristic burst of action, drives his car over him on the way to another poorly acted finale. Sadly, this series is slowly but surely sinking into oblivion. Looking at the endless repeats of the original is a reminder that, even with some bizarre story-lines, it could still be entertaining. Certainly not the current bore-a-thon. |
