We watched Midsomer Murders tonight, right to the ludicrous end, held spellbound by the sheer inanity of the plot and the impossibility of the means by which the victims were dispatched.

Neil Dudgeon was always an unlikely successor to John Nettles, but he becomes less convincing with every episode.

This evening there were times when we could not contain our laughter. If MM has any future, the producers must come clean and admit that it’s a flat out comedy.
