Midsomer Murders (Box Set) You're not always safer in the country

Advantages: Easy to watch and very entertaining
Disadvantages: Could become repetitive?

of Box Set One The Killings at Badger's Drift Badgers Drift was the pilot and what a way to start. An old lady is found dead in her cottage. No-one can understand why as she was a lovely lady who kept herself to herself. The only indication that the viewer gets is that at the start of the episode she witnesses something unsettling in the woods. Written in Blood Midsomer Worthy is the setting for this gruesome murder. The victim is Gerald Hadleigh, the secretary of the writers circle. All is not how it first appears as the plot unfolds Barnaby and Troy discover this man had no formal identification.

Review of Midsomer Murders (Box Set) (DVD)

Murders Aplenty

Advantages: Great story lines. Mysterious. Well produced.
Disadvantages: None

country fetes or shopping. But the underlying tendency is to solve the murders by sometimes being slightly devious with his motives of family life. Some of the tactics used by the murderers go undetected until near the end of the programme, when finally the perpetrator is caught and the reasons behind the murders are revealed. The programme is very well written and produced, as many red herrings are brought into the script. This helps to keep the the tv audience (me included) enthralled as to "who done it". I would like to know where Midsomer Murders is filmed, so that I can visit the area due to its splendid cottages, villages and scenery. Good on you ITV for making a really great series to watch. I do recommend this programme to anyone who likes murders and mysteries. ...

Review of Midsomer Murders

Real life detective story - Murder in Greenwich DVD

Advantages: Fascinating case, Fuhrman is a really interesting guy
Disadvantages: Plodding and unconvicing film

without a cinema run. The second reason is that the film is very linear, it's a murder film without any real violence or horror, because that's not what the film is about. So the film in my view falls between being entertainment and a documentary programme, because it's neither. I'd really rather watched this having been made in a documentary style, but because the murder of the girl was real, it is difficult to gain any "enjoyment" from it being a horror film. The DVD has very few extras, just the standard sub-titles and a couple of trailers. I've mentioned in the past in my reviews that I always like extras as I believe that they add some extra depth to the film, and so it's disappointing that there aren't any on this DVD. I suppose however that this is understandable given the low production costs and the intention in making the film a non ...
