Jonathan Aris reminds me of his dad. In looks and he's got a similar voice

Guessed it was Julia Sawalha from the off simply because she is the best known actress in it.

That, and her being nice and helpful all the way through.

Loved the original with John Nettles and love this incarnation with Neil Dudgeon. ...and...he treats his sargeant more humanely than JN ever did

Same here!

In the flashback of her murdering the vicar's brother, the spear only appeared to just go into the chair, rather than straight through it and him. To go through both the chair and a body would have required an awful lot of strength!

I also miss the bonkers murders and century-old grudges. I had hope for all this Cicily Day nonsense turning out to be some kind of cult, but it wasn't. And Kam, who I thought was OK at the start, is now getting VERY irritating. Although I still like Barnaby and Nelson, I wish there was more of Sykes

BIB. I cannot stand her. I was hoping she was going to be the next gonna

How does nelson get away with dressing so scruffy. He looks a right mess.

Apart from that it was quite good. Just need Kam gone if there is another series made.

putting aside the character being just quite unpleasant , she's not a very good actress.

As watched last night's episode and she was being held hostage with a knife to her throat, I just *knew* she was also gonna be some kind karate expert and would free herself by throwing the bloke over her shoulder. Its actually becoming the Kam and Nelson show but mainly the Kam Show.

And seriously, can we stop with the Nelson/ Kam getting together rubbish that's being oh so subtly pushed. It has no part in the show

Just popped in quickly to push for Sykes to be given the lead in an episode. He's a far better actor than at least a third of the cast!

Midsomer Murders looks slightly grey and washed out? 'Casualty' seems to have the same effect.

Totally agree with all you say.

I said in an earlier post about the actress who plays Kam. She is talentless.

There does seem to be some anti Christian bias in t.v. detective series, when it often seems that the vicar is the villain and not the good guy.

It looks that way during flashbacks and murder scenes but is otherwise ok for me.

It's harmless enough, but it seems all a bit "am dram" to me.

The original "Barney Bee" had Joyce and Cully to make him seem less one dimensional.

This one needs a wife, a baby and a dog. It ain't working.

Property prices must be at rock bottom in Causton and the many surrounding villages with Midsomer as a prefix, over the years there is quite a number of them, dangerous villages to live in, some having three of four murders in quick succession.

Whilst I do miss Kate, I actually like Kam. Probably the only viewer who does, judging by this thread.

No Nelson is scruffy.

BTW less of Sykes please, he's becoming a distraction rather than a witty extra.
