This episode kinda reminds me of the old Midsomer days, with all the village people and often times someone gets killed because there is bad blood between family, or friends. The Village That Rose from the Dead takes me back and has the same blood as some of the original episodes, which is really nice and makes it quite enjoyable. It's a different sort of episode, quite an action packed one I found, not a moment's rest and not a moment not drama filled. It's not a fantastic episode, but it certainly is interesting in some way and you certainly won't get bored. The episode is defintely confusing at times, but I think as long as you pay attention and take in all the characters, plus you don't forget about any character or what the point of their role is in the story, you should be really intrigued. The storyline is amazing, well scripted, and well acted and played out. It's like they were saving the storyline for the perfect chance, because it's just so Midsomer. The episode is a great episode that reminds me of some of the earlier episodes of Midsomer Murders, and I just love the 40's combined with the modern day vibe the episode gives off. Great cast, who all play extremely sharp and involved characters, and in particular Sally Phillips and Hugh Dennis stand out. Caroline Blakiston is fabulous, and everyone does a really stand out job. I really enjoyed the episode, the characters and the storyline, maybe not the plot as much, but it was still very entertaining and definitely worth a watch.
