Midsomer Murders: Death in the Slow Lane (2011)
Season 14, Episode 1
8/10
A fine start for John Barnaby.
13 March 2020
A classic car competition takes place at an exclusive All Girls boarding School. One of the judges, local DJ Doggy Day, is crushed by one of the cars.

Dudgeon makes a fine start, he doesn't try to copy his illustrious predecessor, instead he puts his own stamp on it. John is patient and reasoned, he's also amusing, the scenes of new neighbours popping in adds real humour, particularly the guy that invites him along to an exclusive all Male club, very funny. Hopefully he'll complete a decade in the role soon.

It's a very good episode, the story is intriguing, with some real depth. There is some real venom in the crimes, and some great, and twisted characters. They went for a terrific case for John's first case, Susan Engel, David Warner, Samantha Bond, all of whom are wonderful, but the first episode for the marvellous Sykes.
