Trivia
The first time we saw Barnaby (and Jones) wear scrubs in the mortuary.

Goofs
On the board with the map detailing the golf course, there is a handwritten note that says "Victim found by DCI Jones". Indeed, the body was found by 'DS Ben Jones', but Jones is a detective sergeant, not a detective chief inspector.

Quotes
[talking about Alistair Kingslake]
Archie Kemp: He was the rudest man I ever met. You stick Ali Kingslake in a room on his own, he'd start a fight with himself.

7/10

Snobbery aplenty on the golf courses of Midsomer.

The Dogleg Murders gives us some of the most odious characters ever seen on the show. Golf is often considered, rightly or wrongly as a sport for the elite, and this episode plays into that concept to perfection.

All of the characters are off the scale, those with, and without money. The golfing quartet are incredibly odious, as is the overpowering Eileen, and her two overly mothered sons.

It's a good, if far fetched mystery, you are required to suspend your disbelief at times, the ending in particular.

Rupert Vansittart and Maggie Ollerenshaw are both particularly good, as was the much missed Geoffrey Hutchings.

Pretty good overall, it's definitely different.
