Ok, I am going to get to the point of this particular episode. There's spoilers in this so, let's get to it.
In Greater Worthy, we have a male virgin, David, fixing his home and waiting for his fiance to come back from South Africa from a teaching assignment. And you have the regular folks there, pub owner/former cooper and his once madame wife, whatever, the mean spirited couple who owns the car lot/petrol station whose son (who is slow and shy) who runs it (or the sorry, good for nothing bastard they call the poor lad), the grocery lady and her peeping Tom husband, the lady who owns the Donkey Sanctuary and her angry son and the the rest.
Well, someone killed a lovely woman and dressed her as a "bride" to be and had her naked in a tub with a bathroom curtain. Who would kill her and why? Well, it's David, the pent up virgin, that's who! And why? Because his fiance left, 3yrs ago mind you, found someone new and then, a year later, writes a letter to said fiance David and tells him that, "Hi, honey, yea, well, I didn't write in a while because I found someone new and we got married! Hope you are ok, find someone new. Good luck!" And he snaps, crackles, and pops. So, kills the first victim because she was living in sin with a man and fornicating with him...without being married!! How DARE she. Then, he goes and kills a beautiful woman, who was a lesbian, btw, and wanted to be married with a woman and, that's a No-No. So, what does this nutter do? Well, kill her, strip her nude, chop her up, put her in a basket and takes her to the train station! Because she needed to go...literally.
Now we have the older couple. They are too into their telly to care about anything or anyone (including son). How they die? Sledgehammer to the heads!! Reminds me of that great Peter Gabriel song. Why? Because the man lets it slip that their "bastard" "good for nothing" son was just that....a bastard. They never got around to marrying each other. Oh, and they laugh and laugh. And so, BAM, right in the head. Did they move? Nope. Too into the telly. New meaning to the phrase how watching too much telly can rot your brain. And last was the young lady who was roomies with the first victim. Why was she about to get her "due"? Because she was seeing a married man. So, yea, she had to go. But who saves the day? The peeping Tom! He saved the day. All in the name of David's "God". David, the pent up virgin who was a teacher who taught about history and how people died....yea!
I don't understand why they would let the young lady go and live in said crime scene. But, whatever.
This episode is creepy to the sense that the murderer murdered people who were sinning and they needed to go. All because his lovely fiance, Louise is her name, left, stopped writing after a couple of years, got her rocks off while his was going deep sea blue balls, and married someone else. And thus, death and destruction. If he was in Badger's Drift, he would be a busy killer!
And there you have this episode.
Like other post on here written, you have the uneasiness of John and Jones...like, why is their still bitterness? Why is John soo mean to Jones? I know that Tom had his ways with Troy/Scott/Jones but was NEVER so up his bum bitter than John is. Towards Jones.
And you have Sarah Barnaby, a teacher and wife of John but, there seems to be no chemistry between these two. And to comment about why Joyce was not a "career woman"...who cares? At least Joyce and Tom HAVE chemistry and you can see the love they have for each other! Here? Sarah and John? Not soo much chemistry.
The scene at the end, where John was shaking, was a decent touch because you can see someone "breaking" his pompous self. This killer (imho) got to him.
And there you have it. The good parts: Sykes, the dog. I like Sarah. Jones always gets a plus for me.
Bad parts: the sense of the murders... that's mess up. The bitterness and hostility of John towards Jones. Still miss Tom and Joyce.
