Return to mischief

English eccentricity makes a welcome return to Midsomer in season 24. The series is actually watchable again, possibly due to better writing, better casting and a good dollop of mischief as far as the murder investigations are concerned.

(I'm not sure, though, of the strained attempts to conjure a sudden tension between Winter and Fleur, the octogenarian pathologist, who, like Vera, would have been pensioned off ages ago in real life.)

The Book of the Dead features classic Midsomer eccentrics played by the familiar Selina Cadell and Omid Djalili and a very English illustrated puzzle book. In A Climate of Death, Nathaniel Parker is paired with Julie Graham and demonstrates what living in a "green" village might entail - lights out at 7.00pm for a start. Someone is having a lot of fun here and it is very entertaining to watch.
