One of the craziest episodes of Midsomer imaginable, there is nothing subtle at all about this episode, the characters are huge, killings are huge, and the ideas, and revelations, even the guest cast are something special, James Cosmo and Suzi Quattro.
What it lacks in subtlety, it makes up for in story and dramatic exuberance. I don't think anyone could make the case for this one being boring. Tom is in great spirits, he's very nostalgic amongst his idols, Philip Madoc is great as his old boss, but the whole episode belongs to James Cosmo, who is absolutely terrific, he commands the screen and exudes charisma, and he's in superb company here.
It had me fooled. 9/10
