Midsomer Murders

[OceanBlue]

Watched this past weekend, the second new episode of the current series, "The Stitcher Club". It was a bit hard to follow at times, but it wasn't as barmy as the previous episode. Yet I could sort of understand how it ended (when

[Show spoiler]the culprit was revealed).

Hopefully it isn't long before the remaining two new episodes of the current series are premiered.

Following on from the above quoted post (specifically the part in bold). I checked the Wikipedia page for Midsomer Murders recently (they're not always accurate (like the IMDb), and discovered there are in fact six episodes in the current, twenty-second series of the show. Premiering on ITV next Sunday night is the third episode, "Happy Families". Hopefully the channel will show the remaining three episodes afterwards.

It remains to be seen if it ends up being any different, but I suspect the new episode airing this coming Sunday night will be just the one, with the remaining three episodes being shown next year (haven't read anything yet about whether the show has been renewed for a twenty-third series). In one of the new issues of the TV magazines today, it suggests we're only getting one further new episode from the current series of Midsomer Murders.

Hopefully it will be a good one - murder mystery weekend; it guest stars Adrian Edmondson and Caroline Quentin

Watched this episode (originally shown in the UK five weeks ago) last night. Thought it was very good, continuing the quality run of episodes in the twenty-second series. Since Annette Badland joined Midsomer Murders, and the (to me) awkward chemistry between Winter and pathologist Kam ended (when the actress who played Kam left the series), the series has improved (for a short time I thought the storylines had dipped and the murder mysteries weren't as memorable (this included the motives of the killers).

"Happy Families" had your classic murder mystery set-up,

[Show spoiler]a group of people stuck in a country mansion with a killer among them. The location where they were stuck (and isolated), could only be accessed/got to by chain ferry. Thought the story was written and structured well. I didn't figure out who the murderer was, and the what caused them to kill was written well (yes, that sort of motive has been done before, not just on Midsomer Murders but on other shows as well, but I didn't mind).

Hopefully it's not too long before we get the remaining three episodes of the current series.

Haven't read it yet on Geektown, but have been reliably informed, as well as doing a web search for the news, that Series 22 continues with the first showing on ITV (don't know about streaming and Britbox) of the fourth episode "The Scarecrow Murders" on Sunday 29th May.

Don't know yet if all three remaining episodes from Midsomer Murders' 22nd series/season are going to be shown together, or if they'll appear randomly in ITV's schedules.

Have also heard recently that apparently a documentary about Midsomer Murders' 25th anniversary is in the works with John Nettles presenting it.

Have read nothing yet about whether ITV have ordered a 23rd series of the show.

Following on from my previous post, both the new documentary and episode are airing on ITV next Sunday evening/night at 7 pm and 8 pm respectively.
