6/10
A schoolteacher keeps crying 'wolf'
25 September 2013
In the finale of season 12 of Midsomer Murders, "The Great and the Good," an attractive schoolteacher is a bother to the neighbors with her nocturnal screaming, "There's someone in my house!" Pretty Connie Bishop, who teaches at the local school, is not only a sleepwalker, but she continually hears things that go bump in the night. The neighbors dutifully trudge their way to her house but can't find anything.

When Jim Hanley is murdered in her garden, DI Barnaby stops getting a full night's sleep as well. Then there's the murder of a handyman, who told Connie he knows who killed the handyman. Then Connie is seen sleepwalking by Justin Cooper, who stays in her spare room one night when she's afraid to be alone.

Underlying all this is a socialite, Zukie, who is organizing the annual Frobisher Night Auction and causing havoc. The denouement takes place at the party.

Okay episode, with Joyce and Barnaby adding some humor to the episode, Joyce upset that she can't get a full night's sleep and purchasing earplugs.

Not one of the best, but not the worst, either.
