DCI John Barnaby: [on phone] And how is the next member of the House of Barnaby? Still trying to kick his way out? Or hers? Uh-huh, good. I hope you and your mum aren't overdoing the whole baby-buying thing. Will grow, you know; they're not bonsai. OK, love to your lot. Bye.
[hangs up]
DCI John Barnaby: [to Sykes] You know what this is, don't you? This is going to be the end of life as we know it. No more peace and quiet for us, when the baby arrives. How many of these things do you have?
[Sykes barks three times]

9/10

Murder at the Airfield.

The Flying Club is a terrific episode of Midsomer Murders, it has an old school feel to it, boasts a great plot, and a magical cast, with two mature cast members leading the way.

It's instantly gripping, with a terrific, dramatic opening, and it develops from there on in really. The production values are terrific, it looks big budget, with the planes looking wonderful.

Great plot, great visuals etc, but it's the acting that takes centre stage, best performances come from the show's older members, June Whitfield and Bernard Cribbins are sensational, but Sara Stewart and Laila Rouass are great also.

One of the finest episodes of Dudgeon's reign. 9/10
