- Citações
[over a drink, Sarah is telling Jamie and Fleur how she and John first met]
DS Jamie Winter: And that was the first time that you laid eyes on him?
Sarah Barnaby: Yep. He'd really gone for it: brown tights, paper maché shell, the works.
DCI John Barnaby: Can I just point out this was a charity fund-raising event in the student bar.
Fleur Perkins: [laughing] You seduced your wife while dressed as a tortoise? That's as much as I need to know.
Sarah Barnaby: [in hysterics] He wanted to chat me up, but he waited till he saw me and Hazel leaving the bar. Only... Only he forgot he'd have to turn sideways to get through the door.
DS Jamie Winter: You got stuck?
DCI John Barnaby: I was wedged in by my shell. Sarah had to help dislodge me.
Fleur Perkins: And this worked for you, did it, as a courtship technique?
Sarah Barnaby: I think I found it endearing.
DCI John Barnaby: Hazel didn't, did she? She told you not to go out with me because I was weird.
Sarah Barnaby: That still bothers you, doesn't it?
DCI John Barnaby: [primly] Well, it's not nice. Or accurate.

"Til Death Do Us Part" is not one of the best 'Midsomer Murders' episodes. Nor is it one of the worst. As far as the John Barnaby episodes go, it's somewhere around high middle of the era overall and among the better faring recent ones. Is it a great episode? No. Is it worth a look? Yes. The things consistently good in the show, even in the misfires don't disappoint and there have been improvements here compared to when John first took over.
Will start with "Til Death Do Us Part's" good things. The scenery is truly beautiful, both picturesque and atmospheric, complemented beautifully by the photography. The music fits brilliantly and is great music on its own, the main theme is one of the classic main themes of all detective/mystery shows. The writing is not simplistic or too complicated and is quite thought-provoking with touches of gentle but not too cheesy humour. Mostly from Fleur, and it is agreed that hearing how the Barnabys first met was a nice amusing touch.
Story has plenty of twists and turns that didn't confuse and for me it was compelling. The subplots intrigue and even though not by any stretch original ideas they aren't indifferently handled. The characters are written quite well and Fleur continues to be an absolute joy, me saying that she is the show's best pathologist since Bullard is being said with no doubt (she's the only one of his replacements to have done anything for me). Sarah is much more interesting than she tends to be and the chemistry between her and John doesn't seem as cold here, felt for her at times too. The cast do very well, Neil Dudgeon has improved since he first took over and Annette Badland brings welcome levity timed well. Liz Fraser and Fennella Woolgar stand out of the cast.
On the other hand, the murders are agreed pretty ordinary and parts could have done with more suspense and a tightening up.
Found myself a bit mixed on the final solution, leaning towards the "ehh". The identity of the murderer was a surprise and it is not as ridiculous or as last minute feeling as those of previous John Barnaby era episodes. It did feel rushed however and introduced a little too abruptly. The motives are not as "they killed for that" as with other John Barnaby era episodes but they come out of nowhere and revolve around a plot point that could have done with more development. A further twist is included but it felt like a shoe-horned in attempt at making the situation more tragic and succeeded more at making the motives for the murders more trivial.
All in all, pretty decent but not a complete winner. 7/10
