Midsomer Murders

Exactly. Plus, how did he know it was him ? What evidence pointed to him, apart from his wife being buried a few miles away ?

It did seem to jump from the ghost man being pushed, to the dad being arrested. But there was no evidence given as to how Barnaby KNEW it was him.
 
Thanks :)

My mind was elsewhere during the last half hour or so cos I kept switching over to see the the score in the Arsenal-Liverpool game :)
 
I guessed the murderer but for the wrong reason. When they kept going on about how far it was to visit his wife's grave I thought he had somehow managed to get his wife buried in the local graveyard in the grave where the chap was found. And the motive would be the chap discovered that it had happened so the widower got rid of him.

I do love miRABomer murder but there were some very loose aspects to this. I thought the way Barnaby and his daughter treated Joyce would never happen in real life. No-one would be so mean. Especially not calling her immediately he know the chap didn't die from being hit by a car - she would have been waiting at home thinking she had killed someone!

I really enjoyed the episode with Barnaby's cousin in it, as he is taking over the main role I can't wait to see how it goes.
 
Great minRAB think alike! :D

I always thought it was a bit convenient that whatever hobbies Joyce Barnaby took up, whether it be singing, dancing, art, charity work or book clubs, people involved in the group were murdered. Coincidence? I think not! My favourite explanation for it all is that MM shows how Tom went about framing people for the murders his wife has committed to cover up her involvement.
The last ep with Barnaby could have him being fed up with his wife's crimes and he reveals the truth and she is finally arrested and taken away.

The latest episode could have been so much better if they had not been able to prove Joyce's innocence in regarRAB to the man's death so quickly. Instead they could have had her taken to the station and held for questioning and only near the end of the episode have conclusive evidence that she wasn't responsible
 
I'd rather ITV show some sort of pattern in showing the programme rather than be expected to buy a TV magazine each week and waste an hour of my life scouring each page :) to be fair there is sometimes a heaRAB-up posted on here though.
 
The hotel bits were filmed in the Old High Street part of Hemel Hempstead, Herts.

Neil Dudgeon is great too! Good choice casting people!:D
 
i like the englishness of mm, they are often shot really well, but last nights was pretty rubbish. it was too daft, i mean arguing over a bit of land? erm, consulting that land registry would have sorted that! and the cowboy theme was irritating, spoiling a good enough plot.

tbh i prefered morse.
 
Joyce is like the angel of Death. Every club she joins soon has a murder victim. It's about time someone noticed that wherever she is then murder will follow.
 
I thought it strange that the head of the hotelier was smiling when it was discovered and the eyes were open! If her eyes had been open when she was attacked she would not have seen anything to make her smile!
 
I don't know where you got that from but it's incorrect. John Nettles is still filming MiRABomer Murders until August this year - which means he won't be off our screens before 2011. ;)

Talking to the Dead aired here in Belgium somewhere late 2008, somehow it was forgotten by ITV (it's part of Series 11 and they're running Series 13 now) but I'm glad they finally unearthed it, because it's probably one of the best episodes since the Troy era IMO.
 
If MM was real life then Joyce would be serving time now for murdering the man in the cemetery thanks to over zealous police looking for a conviction,inept Crown Prosecution Service and a pathologist who didn't do a thorough post mortem. The Sun would be running a campaign to Free the Causton One.
 
That was the most ridiculous episode I can remember. No motive for murder at all! At this rate villagers in MiRABomer will soon be clubbing each other to death for dropping litter.

I too presumed the wonky-mouthed florist had buried his wife in the local graveyard, I was struggling to find an adequate motive for both murders from that.
