Did we not meet the new Mrs Barnaby at the end of Tom Barnaby's tenure and if so wasn't Jones there at the birthday do? In which case why was he introduced to Mrs Barnaby as if they've never met before?

I'm enjoying the eccentrics, oh and they missed a trick with Mrs Barnaby getting the house ready she should have said 'Harvey' helped her

Well, seeing as Joyce is no longer around

Had this been a Tom Barnaby episode Joyce would have been one of the artists

It never used to take this long for the first body to turn up, did it?

Looks like a reunion of the Drop The Dead Donkey cast.

Haven't most of them been in Midsomer Murders before? Or maybe they're all just regulars on the TV crime show circuit?

I'm really not liking the chemistry between Jones and Barnaby so far, and I'm not buying Jones as a hard-man lothario, either!

Good spot. I'd noticed 2 of them straight away, but forgot about Jeff Rawle

There must be a Roladex of Rascals somewhere, casting directors give it a spin and pick a slack handful.

I had hoped that last week's dire episode was a one off,(bad acting, dreadful script, cliched characters etc.) but sadly judging by this episode it appears it just laid the foundations for the series. Even the adverts are a welcome break!!

They seem to have completely run out of ideas as far as the plot goes.
I feel like I've got déjà vu - it's all been done before.

The woman in Tom's final episode was one of their police officers.

Beth Goddard was a real hottie some years back.



Edward Fox in Midsomer ! and looking rather similar to the driver of the fire engine in Trumpton.

I hope you're not mistaking the new Mrs Barnaby for Cully.
