A fairly decent episode. The Newsomes are always good for a laugh, and were not as irritating as they usually are. It's not difficult to guess that the kidnapee (is that a real word?) is somehow involved in her own abduction.

I do miss the Murdoch episodes where real historical characters turn up. They seem to have abandoned that idea entirely now. Take the five women in the photograph at the end, for instance, it would have been good for at least one of them to have been involved in Julia's story.

Every episode that involves the new family of Constable Higgins is at times entertaining but at times irritating as h**l.

We came to appreciate the qualities of the unassuming constable and enjoy (most of the time) the twists of his wife which prove there is always more than meets the eye with her.

However, her brothers (played by the same actor), are just pathetic and irritating without an entertainment element for me. Lucinda, is the same, multiplied times ten!

This episode initially raised my hopes that the characters would somehow improve, since we see Newsome indicating some common sense and even brave features in the first few scenes. All these are gone by the end of the episode that we see he is the same individual.

I would had preferred if Lucinda was indeed murdered - it would be deserved if that had happened in her own plan gone wrong and, maybe, having a somehow wiser husband behind, or that husband leaving the place (and the series) for good!

Instead of that, as with the twin sisters who haunt poor George, we know the entire Newsome family will remain for future episodes...

I believe that the series accumulated too many irritating characters. They should leave.
