DCI Tom Barnaby: You didn't eat the trout he caught then?

Dialogue Alone is Priceless
I never expect Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) from Midsomer Murders, and I am rarely disapointed. I enjoy the dialogue between the town characters that are the guest stars of each episode. Some of the discussions are incredibly entertaining.
The rapport between John Nettles, his wife Jane Wymark, his daughter Cully (Laura Howard), and especially Gavin (Daniel Casey), is usually worth watching every episode. Casey has a classic remark about all the "wrinklies going at it" and whether the elderly could be suspected due to adultery.
John Nettles is great at delivering his lines to suspects, especially the arrogant, the wealthy, the upper-class, and those who think he is just a dumb copper. He is humble and yet you can see what he is thinking, and that is pretty cool. Nettles expressions do the acting!
Honor Blackman (of James Bond fame) is the top guest star, and she naturally gets a lot of screen time. Her antagonistic niece-in-law is played by Suzanne Burden, who disparages her aunt, and wants to save money at her wake by serving Doritos. Really priceless characterization.
Other good acting came from James Hazeldine as the instigator returning to live in town, and John Warnaby as the insecure Husband. Philip Franks (Quentin Roka) does an excellent turn as the great friend who saved the life of Honor Blackman when she was sick, and suffering from depression.
