I love this episode. It's so different it's an absolute gem. There are good performances all round from the guest actors and in particular, Leslie Phillips who is delightful. The chemistry between Barnaby and Troy is superb, as it is between Tom and Joyce, who once again becomes embroiled in murder due to one of her hobbies. The real fun of this episode though is seeing how the 'flat-footed country coppers' get the better of the NIS squad.
