Thank you!

I've been going mad trying to work out why the voice seemed so familiar but the face didn't.
Oddly, I had the same experience with her face. There was something about it that I thought I knew, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Never thought about the voice!

Really enjoyed this series, disappointed it's finished already! That said, I am a complete newbie to MM, literally only started watching in this series! So I'll have to invest in some dvd's and indulge myself. I am no use at guessing the killer in crime dramas but I thought I had it cracked last week when I picked the nurse/health visitor woman. I was almost there!

I've seen her in something else years ago but can't remember what. I remember at the time not knowing that she was Annette Crosbie's daughter but thinking 'Wow she sounds so much like Annette Crosbie' - then Googled her and indeed she was Crosbie's daughter! I've never in my life heard of a mother and daughter who sound so similar - not just the accent but the whole pitch and timbre of their voices.
Janet Ellis & Sophie Ellis-Baxter!!!

Saw John Nettle's last episode on ITV3 the other night. I do miss him and Jones. There was a woman copper who got promoted to detective who was in the last few Nettles' ones and was there at Tom's leaving do. It looked like they were building her role up and then she just disappeared when the Dudgeon episodes began. Very strange. It might have helped the dynamic to keep her.
Maybe she went to the same place that Stuart Fraser from Taggart disappeared to or came down with s tummy bug the same as the DS Scott did when Jones took over!

Oh but I don't know Janet Ellis really - before my time - so I was obviously talking about from my own experience. I can only call Sophie Ellis-Bexter's voice to mind.

If you mean Stevens she injured herself and had to call a injury lawyer company "when will this pain ever go away"

Janet E was interviewed countless times when Sophie was in Strictly, and is a regular on the Wright Stuff panel. I can't say I know her for anything prior to that.

I wonder why they're getting rid of the old one. She had a repore with the other characters. Though hopefully the new doctor is an interesting character.

Ooh! Just looked her up and she's currently in Ordinary Lies (the woman who was obsessed with Jo Joyner's missing husband).

That would, at least, make up for the boring, one-dimensional Barnaby!

I like the new Barnaby - at least is an improvement on John Nettles who huffed and puffed and wheezed his way through the last couple of series he was in. And as for his boring, 'oh so perfect' wife and daughter! 'New' Barnaby's wife is 100% better! And I love his dog!!!

Good news it's 6 instead of usual 4 stories. They did 5 a couple of years ago to include 100th in Denmark. Always nice to get more.

Yes she's quite good in it, hopefully a good casting.

6 will be good. 4 always feels a little bit blink and you'll miss it

A very good question - I was wondering that myself. Not happy about this development because Kate had a strong enough bond with Nelson and the Barnabys to keep her character going for a good while. If it was the actress's decision to leave, then fair enough, but I hope she wasn't axed.

If they've got rid of a good character for the sake of a love triangle (the press release says the new pathologist "will cause DS Nelson trouble in more ways than one"), then that's a poor decision in my opinion.

Oh and why does it have to be a 2016 premiere? I'm just saying, if they're doing 6 and have already started filming, they don't have to wait 'til all 6 are ready and show them all in 6 consecutive weeks. Why not spread them out a bit like most of the previous series'?

Maybe they want to increase the ethnic quota.

White is an ethnicity too. Midsomer Murders though has been at the centre of a racism storm in the past.

Looks like Kate Wilding will have an exit after all (unlike Jones) because apparently she's going to appear in the first episode of the next series. http://www.midsomermurders.org/habeascorpus.htm

If this is true, it's good news! I was worried that we'd seen the last of her without any explanation as to her departure.

Had exactly the same thought myself at the time and think that it could have revitalised the series. Just been watching the episode where WPC Stevens got her promotion to DC and it made me realise how much I miss John Nettles in the role. Extremely disappointed when Neil Dudgeon appeared and can't take to him, his wife or dog so don't watch any more though my wife does sadly!.
