Midsomer Murders

Political correctness gone mad. Brian True-May, the creator and producer of the Tv series which attracts six million viewers, caused a furore when he said the show had thrived because its all-white cast shows the true English village. Maybe he was stretching things a bit but what does it matter? We all love it for its dottiness. It is surely not meant to be taken seriously?
I love John Nettles. I loved him as Bergerac and as a voice-over and as Barnaby, even if he can't now run as fast as Bergerac. He plays a policeman without a chip on his shoulder or a tragic background. On the contrary, he appears to have a loving family and gets on reasonably well with his colleagues. I know the poliemen tramp all over the clues, illegally enter premises and rifle through private papers. As for the ingenious way people get murdered I can only wonder at the writer's inventiveness. Mind you, I do sometimes have to hide behind the sofa !
Still getting blogs from my earthquake- surviving friend in Tokyo. See her comment on my last blog.
