Midsomer Murders

I like both Barnaby couples but prefer the storyline to be off-beat but based in reality - not bizarre.

As for the forensic pathologist - that rôle has become a caricature.

Wow - why is the UK so far behind the rest of the World showing MM? I saw the Holly episode in Sweden back in 2021.

I like the new Barnaby family. I like that Sarah has her own work and interests. I used to feel sorry for poor Joyce as she seemed to spend her life cleaning the house or cooking meals that Tom never came home for! If she ever did get our of the house to go to choir/painting/ a talk at the library there was bound to be a horrible murder.

I especially like Annette Badland as the current pathologist

That's because it was the final episode of the last series, televised on Sunday before the 2023 series starts next week.

I've no idea why it was held back in the UK - perhaps another programme started in that slot.

I have just watched it, I thought it was ok, it’s not meant to be serious is it?

Nobody should have joined anything Joyce was a member of - there was bound to be a nurdee. Unless (plot twist) Joyce was responsible for more than bad cooking? Hmmmm.......

I love Anette Badland as the pathologist. Such an evil sense of humour. Obviously it's all over the top and unrealistic - it's entertainment. I've recently started watching Rosemary and Thyme (not a chance while DH was alive) and of course it's rubbish, but it's harmless entertainment and Pam Ferris is a joy in it.
