The current series has become repetitive so here's my:
What will happen every week in the current series of Midsomer: Mr & Mrs Barnaby will have there own cutesy little puke fest sickly sweet story either involving Sykes or the daughter There will be at least one black or asian main character who will be built up to be the murderer but in the end it won't be them. Nelson and Kam will have a will have a storyline where they will compete over something but neither of them will win out in the end. At the final murder scene Barnaby will creep up on the suspect while they are explaining why they did they murders and normally either talk them out of killing or use Nelson as a decoy. The final scene will always be a heartwarming scene between Barnaby and Mrs Barnaby and Sykes. There will be a murder every second ad break to keep the viewers interested. There will be at some stage during the episode a tense part where Nelson and Barnaby will be seen speeding through the countryside with blue lights and sirens, arriving just in time to prevent or witness something not relevant to the murder investigation, but still criminal in some way. There being no other units available anywhere in Midsommer to go to the scene. |

Can someone answer my question about the diversity fascists? As we know we now have to have the obligatory Black/Asian/Gay couple etc. Ive also no doubt in these murder dramas if the murderer was always a Black or an Asian the usual professional offendees would be out screaming racism by typecasting, well isn't having a white murderer in every episode of every type of whodunit drama then racist and typecasting white people or is reverse racism still acceptable? Ive yet to see anyone other than a white person portray a killer even though we do have a few red herrings where a Black/Asian is suspected then found to be innocent. Ive even noticed this in many US dramas and films too.

We have been big fans of MSM from the start and have every episode. Whilst there were a few episodes we did not like with original Barnaby largely we enjoyed them.
The series should have ended when he left. The episodes since have lost the ingredients needed for a proper MSM. These for me are Plenty of shots of the lovely village scenes. At least one truly eccentric character who is thinks themselves above everyone else and of course, the law. No recycling of actors into other episodes unless they are the same character which would difficult as usually they killed off. A touch of wry humour. A decent plot with an ingenious murder. The original series had one or two I.e the drowning in the television and the wine bottles being catapulted at the victim. As much as I enjoyed MSM I feel it has run its course and should be killed off. The storylines are now very poor, the acting is wooden and Barnaby and co have no likeable personality between them.

Jones was a much more diverse character, he tried to find relationships, he did sporting events, had a past and had a granny who knew everyone in Midsomer.
Nelson what do we really know? What do we want to know? Would it really be of interest to the storyline to be fair I think an unknown Nelson is not bad, we never really knew Troy apart from he liked girls but never seem to have had one, he hated gays and couldn't drive. also, Jones did get more involved in everything. I do miss Jones, that was something about him that was more homely. Always thought that, when Nettles left, the natural progression was Jones taking over from him..was actually gutted it didn't to be honest

Its strange because I always think of Jones as that new bloke who took over from (Troy Who supported Middlesbrough and I suspect had a bit of a crush on Cully )I never really liked Jones and ima am quite surprised by the love for him on here .Id like to see the new Barnaby meet the Rainbirds but then I long for the kind of plots that needed peope like the rainbirds

Jones sometimes had a personality change, depending on the script.

There have been at least 24 ethnic minority characters in the last 20 episodes of the show. Conversely, there is believed to have been just one non-white character in the 89 episodes before the race row. Of the 24 non-white characters who have appeared in the show following the race row, at least 22 have been cast in a mixed-race relationship with a white actor or actress. |

Anyone remember the horrible miscast:
John Hopkins (born 1974) , known for playing Sgt. Dan Scott on Midsomer Murders! ![]() http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/...30_468x317.jpg "DS Scott was never formally written out of the show; he is merely described as being “ill” in one episode and then never mentioned again." ![]()

I accept that, I just didn't like how he was in one episode, then the next he was "ill" then he was just gone. Couldn't they have just said he transferred because he didn't like it in Midsommer?
