Midsomer Murders

Yes, it does look like Harvey, the dog in the clever ads. I didn't realise Mrs Barnaby [Joyce] did awful cooking? More like an awful hairstyle I thought and a bit po faced, humourless.The new Mrs Barnaby is an improvement all round, But I agree that John Nettles was better in the part [or Bergerac as we always call him.]They are probably running out of ideas, but thought the bicuit factory episode was quite good.

He has done lots of adverts but I'm not sure if it was him in the rabbit one.

Is the little dog the same one that's in the advert - it has a toy rabbit, or something? Can't remember the advert, but I do love the dog!

I used to love Midsomer Murders but I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it since John Nettles left. He is to MM what Peter Falk is to Columbo and Peter Sellars is to Pink Panther.

My OH went to the same school as John Nettles in Cornwall.

I couldn't stand that Joyce character! It's time John Nettles came back from his cruise, having pushed her overboard.

Nicer house though, even if they do stack their logs by the front door!

I always thought the actress who played Joyce was terrible! And what sort of a name is Cully?

But I agree, it's nowhere near as good without John Nettles and Ben Jones.

The present characters are nowhere near as enjoyable to watch as Joyce with her awful cooking, Cully (what are YOU doing here?) Ben Jones and John Nettles' Barnaby telling him to kick yet another door in!

The dog's done all his tricks now so even he's getting boring.

I have never watched Midsomer Murders before but decided that as it was the 100th episode I would give it a whirl.

To be honest the only thing I liked about it was the dog. Barnaby, his sidekick and his wife seemed amateurish in their acting. The two brothers were quite fun, but I thought the apples stuck in their mouths was very childish.

I do realise that it is a very popular programme so it must just be me.

I love Poirot, Marple and Sherlock, so I will stick with those in future.

Finally I don't like cocoa either.

At last!! Someone else who doesn't like cocoa! I thought it was just me. I'm always being nagged about not wearing my slippers, but I do like Midsomer !

Don't like cocoa, rarely wear slippers, love Midsomer

I do hope poor Sykes isn't going to be neglected because of the baby. He's such a clever dog, he'll probably be changing nappies in the next one!

Recorded it to watch tonight, didn't realise it would be so interesting.I love Sykes, I want a dog like that, anyone know what breed he is? maybe mongrel?Read in the paper that you know you are getting past it when you discover a liking for cocoa, slippers and Midsomer Murders. Oh dear.

I really enjoyed it, especially as all those I suspected were bumped off one by one....why do people choose to live in Midsomer?

I am glad you explained it Soutra because it went over my head. Interesting connection with Hamlet. I did spot the speedy ageing of the baby though. If there is one next week the child will be a toddler.

I never notice things like that Ana I'm a continuity person's ideal viewer. Oddly enough Mr Aka always spots these mistakes.

And how that baby changed - in hospital she had a lovely head of dark brown hair, and looked approximately the right size for a newborn. Once home, the same day, she looked at least three months old and was semi-bald!

Yep agree Soutra, loved it. Especially seeing the journalist from Borgen. I felt like it was visiting old friends. Wasn't the Biscuit factory strange, It looked like a laboratory rather than a biscuit making factory and what was the furnace doing there?

For a moment I thought Sykes was going to have to deliver the baby!

ogh??? should have been "Oh"!
