If you thought last week's offering was slightly on the bizarre side then this one definitely took it up another notch, last week's story was almost a unique episode in the show's history. The Incident at Cooper Hill reminded me a tiny bit about earlier episode 'The Electric Vendetta,' the one with crop circles and UFO sightings etc, but it was different enough. It feels like there's a new writing team at the helm somehow the show feels so different.
I am still a little unsure about Nelson, I feel like they're not doing enough to promote his character enough. Is he the only man in CID that doesn't wear a shirt and tie?
Some great imagery, felt like sci fi comes to the sleepy villages of Midsomer, very different.
It's the toss of a coin if Alison Steadman or Sykes the dog stole the show in this one.
Very different, but strangely engaging. 8/10
