When I read the description of this episode in the TV guide I was expecting the usual lighthearted silliness with the requisite number of neatly arranged dead bodies. This being Midsomer there was of course a degree of silliness as somebody starts killing the people of Great Worthy and leaving wedding related comments written at the scenes; the bodies weren't neat though with one being dismembered and another two clearly beaten with a heavy object. There was the usual large variety of suspects including a voyeuristic landlord, a disenchanted registrar and a man whose advances had been rejected by at least one victim. As is often the case in this series there are interesting activities happening in the village; in this case a donkey sanctuary and a preserved railway although as it turns out neither prove motive for murder this time.
I really enjoyed this grislier than usual episode; the regular cast were on form and guest stars who included Ron Cook as the suspicious landlord and Sarah Smart who played Jo; finder of the first victim, put in fine performances. While most episodes of Midsomer are suitable for all but the youngest of viewers there are several scenes here that children, and some adults, might find a little disturbing.
