    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Rhythm Festival, held at Twinwood Arena, Clapham in Bedfordshire, provided the backdrop to the music event. Compére Mike Read made several announcements from the Rhythm Festival stage that made no sense and were in fact filmed for 'Midsomer Murders'.
    • Goofs
      Mistook Left Brain behavior for Right Brain Barnaby says with deep conviction, after checking suspicious electric outlets: "It's all very premeditated isn't it? Musicians function in a more left-brain, impulsive manner. This is a right-brain MO. Somebody has thought this through very, very carefully."

      It is the Left-brain that is linear and methodical, and the right-brain that is creative and creates its own reality, not as Barnaby states.
    • Quotes

      DCI Tom Barnaby: How old do you think I am?

      DS Ben Jones: I don't know. I've done speed-dating, not carbon dating.

    Far out man
    A very painful first 1/3 of the story with the band overacting to the tilt. Then the interesting part of the story kicked in. Less of the band hamming it up and more investigation. I thought this was unsalvageable but the final 2/3 were great with a surprise ending. Music was bad. Fun to see Barnaby expressing his love of music. Lots of a rebellious Cully is a joy.
