Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Midsomer Murders (British TV thread)
Posts
oh god, so british
my interest in this show is peaked. twelve seasons, you say? is this one of the shows were Strange and Dire Continuity will force you to follow it from the beginning, or can a person just jump right in? And if it is the latter, what episode would you recommend as a jumping point?
Oh goodness...couldn't recommend any particular episode off the top of my head. But I'd say go for one from one of the earlier seasons, maybe season two or three? Maybe check imdb for ratings on individual episodes?
its only ever on here at like 1am or so randomly but its always great
youtube doesnt seem to have too much thats not full episodes cut up but i did find this one pretty cool clip

And then they utterly decimated its legacy with that awful, awful film
No more needs to be said
It's really quite charming.

Janson gets a huge hi5 for this thread.
From Wiki
"The Grinning Man" will be shown on 1 January 2009, guest starring Sheridan Smith as Joey Ross and Stuart Milligan reprising his role as Adam Klaus.[3] News of the comeback was reported in the Daily Mirror on 31 May, reporting that David Renwick, who wrote all of the previous episodes, had returned and that filming would commence shortly, stating "After a five-year break I think we're all looking forward to getting Creek back on the screen". Renwick is also directing the episode,[4][5] which started filming at the end of June 2008.
Ohfuck
Also, hi5 NaS!
Although, Jonathan Creek just wasn't the same after Maddy left.
Also, spare some love for the panel show - Have I Got News For You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Mock the Week and the like. If it weren't for Mock the Week and Have I Got News For You, as well as the Friday night comedy on radio 4, I'd never know what was going on in the world outside university.

My favourite thing from MM is Troy's nickname for gay guys from the very first episode: "arse bandits".
Black Books is still my favorite, though.

"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
They show a lot of actually good stuff -- Jeeves and Wooster, the Grenada Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett, and so on. It is like you need a fresh mug of HP sauce to go along with it.
Now I have the theme to Jeeves and Wooster in my head.
The best bit of that episode was the reveal that Bernard's black suit is just a really filthy white suit.
When Moo-Ma washed his suit and his hair and he looked really good, then about an hour later he was engrained with filth agan... I laughed my arse off at that.
"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
Do you know what else I really love about Midsomer Murders? Half the murderers are dressed like the Black Stig.
Bad guys do wear black - in popular media anyway.
"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
"Who washed my clothes? WHO SHAVED ME?!?"
"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
the couch eating the little kid
also Manny finding out that he's a natural pianist was great too!
"If you don't know who Kendra is, I'm officially not speaking to you."
Is this going to link into that popular media thread I saw earlier?
It'll probably be crap, but it's from the same people who made the reccent BBC series Merlin, which means I'll watch it for a couple of episodes before I decide how crap it is.
YOU'RE NICKED SUNSHINE!
Just thought of another show which is worth watching (and not just 'cos of my humungous <3 for Stephen Fry), Kingdom:
