I thought Bryn admitted to smashing up the sculpture?
I agree about her husband - he didn't look nearly squashed enough. |

[quote=Verence;81380812]Not as much fun as Martine McCutcheon being killed by a massive wheel of cheese.
For years I had been warning of a potential death from a killer cheese in Midsummer, nobody believed me until it was too late. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Reading previous posts, I realise I must be easily pleased as I thought it was a great episode, and this series much improved on previous series. The stories are quite a bit grittier - it actually took me quite a while to guess who-dunnit in last nights show!
Yes, there are "holes" in the plots, but it's only meant to be sort of light-hearted detective drama along the lines of Agatha Christie. |

Unfortunately the camerawork is much worse than it was during Nettles' time. Constant soap-style panning backwards and forwards, far too much cutting, and ridiculous, extreme closeups, and about an hour or so into last night's episode we get a shaky cam scene for no reason at all.

Dire episode and really rather easy to work out whodunnit, on the basis of the killer the very last person in the cast you would suspect.
When anyone does an autopsy on MM don't they take note the potential height or build of the assailant? I mean if anyone had noticed this it would have cut down the list of suspects PDQ. It does seem to be something that gets ignored on MM a little too much for my taste. Or is it they purposely don't tell the perpetrator was a particular height so as to keep the suspect pool for the audience as large as possible to keep them guessing. Maybe it's time to try a new format for ITV murder light drama series. |

What stuff I managed to see was essentially just another box-ticking episode. I can't really put my finger on it but it seems to have lost the essence of what I enjoyed about MM. I'm sure a big part of it is because I don't like the current cast as much as I did the previous lot and maybe that's what it boils down to. its a bit sad really because I want to enjoy it and I like to believe that I watch each episode with an open mind bur find myself disappointed time after time. The only Dugeon one I've enjoyed was the one that had the flooding / church crypt |

I agree that last weeks episode was awful even I ended up channel hopping.
Last nights was good IMO, just what I want midweek curled up on the sofa in winter |

She's part of the quota, what is missing is a wheelchair character as per Vera and Silent Witness, or a gay .

I know I have previously said, in this thread, that we just have to accept the fact that MSM plays fast and loose with police procedure, but the way they are using Kam is getting really annoying.
When she appeared she was supposed to be a pathologist. That post is a consultant one and the pathologist is not a subordinate to the lead investigating officer. Over the weeks she seems to have turned from a pathologist into a junior police officer who does PM's on the side! I'm not sure why this rankles so much when there are so many other inaccuracies - possibly because it's a very 'active' inaccuracy, whereas most are more passive; the lack of DC's and DI's can just be noted and then forgotten about whereas Kams role is highlighted with everything she does. Unlike some other posters I have no problem with the actual character or the actress - just the confused role she's playing. |

If you visit the web page for this episode on the ITV Hub, you'll see an image from what looks like a bit that was cut from the episode. The latest episode started with the owner of the estate fawning over the sculpture, then abruptly cut to the party. This image shows his wife with him - I guess her role in the scene was cut.
