todayiamadaisyI watched a repeat of MidSomer Murders last night. I know, such a wild Saturday night. It featured a character described as a nosy parker, and do you know what her name was? Josie Parker. Josie Parker, the nosy parker. Do you see what they did there? Subtle. I'm surprised there wasn't a character called Fred Cherring, the red herring.
Anyway, when the police went to investigate the office of the case's first murder victim, they decided to look at the two documents he had left on his printer. One of them was a copy of his appointments for that day, while the other was a map of moon craters. Barnaby and Jones went, a-ha, this is A Clue! And it was, because this is MidSomer, where no-one ever does anything that is not related to either their own murder or one they are plotting. But I thought, what if they had to use what they found on my printer to solve a crime? They'd be looking at a recipe for ricotta and parmesan wontons and a page of tips for growing parsnips, and that wouldn't help solve anything.
