During a dress rehearsal of Gilbert and Sullivan, The players of The Midsomer Mummers discover the dead body of an unknown man inside the treasure chest prop.
For Death prepare ...... Well, ITV, we've been prepared, and waiting for years, once again, us fans of the show have been made to wait, and wait, and wait. Whilst the rest of the world have seen Series 23, we were still waiting on this episode, made two years ago. How Dudgeon and Hendrix must feel.
I'm not sure I'd seen this episode as a classic, but a good, solid mystery, and a welcome return of Barnaby and Winter. The musical theme was definitely a little bit different, and it was nice to see Sarah doing a Joyce and firmly placed in the thick of things.
Some fine, interesting characters, the usual bunch of eccentrics once again. I think there are clues along the way, and it's maybe not impossible to guess who the killer is.
Two performances really stood out, Samantha Spiro and Kevin Whately, how good to see him on screen post Lewis, he's much missed.
More laughs from Fleur again, and yet more insight into her weird and varied life, I just love Badland being on the show.
I'd call it a solid episode, I'm just glad we finally got to see it.
7/10.
ITV please do better.
