Daniel Casey: Sergeant Gavin Troy

Quotes 

• [leaving courthouse] 

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : Where do they get these judges from? The man burgled his way through every village in the county.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Look, we catch the criminals; we offer up the evidence. Not everyone likes what happens in court. Maybe the judge was right; give the boy one more chance. Oh, look. A squadron of pigs over Causton.

• DCI Tom Barnaby : He last saw his wife 8 o'clock yesterday morning. What about Bloxham? Was he here all day?

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : On and off. Last saw Mrs. Bartlett at 12 o'clock noon on her way into the village. She was leaving the Harrington farm.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : And Bartlett was just about to go into court with this man, Harrington. Not the best time to drop in for a cup of coffee, was it?

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : Susan Bartlett only ever went to Bartlett farm when her husband wasn't around.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Do I detect a euphemism?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Bloxham reckons they were at it.

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : That's better, Troy. Don't start discussing matters of the flesh with delicacy and discretion. I'll never know what you're talking about.

• Sergeant Gavin Troy : If Julie did see the body, it was at least six hours before Mrs. Bartlett died.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Well, that gives us something to go on, doesn't it?

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : What?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : It doesn't make any sense at all, does it? As I was walking up the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. I wish, I wish he'd stay away.

• Sergeant Gavin Troy : I need to have a look around the farm, Mr. Harrington. I haven't got a search warrant.

  James Harrington : Help yourself, officer. Inside, outside. There are no bodies that I can call to mind, but you never know.

  [pause] 

  James Harrington : Oh, just one thing. You won't leave a mess, will you?

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : Mrs. Bartlett had a computer... um, laptop. You weren't aware of it?

  James Harrington : Can't say as I was. She did bang on about the web - gynecological advice on the web, tarot card readings. Not my sort of thing. There's enough bullshit in Midsomer Worthy without scouring the planet for this stuff.

• DCI Tom Barnaby : If Simon Bartlett left Bernadette Sullivan's when he said he did...

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : Well, she's not likely to lie. I mean, she's a barrister, isn't she?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : [chuckling]  I can see, Troy, that despite your recent experiences at Causton Crown Court you still have a touching faith in the legal profession.

  Sergeant Gavin Troy : You think she is lying?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : I think all sorts of people are lying, Troy.
