- TriviaA coconut shy is a traditional game frequently found as a side-stall at English fun-fairs. The game consists of throwing wooden balls at a row of coconuts balanced on posts. Typically a player buys three balls and wins each coconut successfully dislodged. In some cases other prizes may be won instead of the coconuts. The word "shy" in this context is an English term meaning to toss or throw.
- GoofsWhen the trailer is set on fire and the door blocked, the occupant wakes up soon thereafter. Despite numerous windows being present in the trailer, the occupant fails to break any of them out to escape.

Midsomer Murders: Death's Shadow-anti Christian
Another episode to make Christians look bad. This episode is in series 2 episode 1 and this is the 3rd one inserted with gay and homosexual content that is not made to look bad but Christian are made to look bad.
Guys that have gone to school together start being murdered one at a time. Barnaby thinks it has something to do with Tye House which is being sold and many of the villagers do not like this because it will bring a lot of strangers in the area and also a golf course was planned.
At first the writers make you think that the men that know each other might be the killer having to do with property, then it switches over to what happened in the school years ago.
The church is planning a festival and the people in the community meet. I could also tell it was a biased bull because a woman was going to tell fortunes in a tent at this church festival. Fortune telling is sinful and forbidden. Churches would not allow it at a feast or on their property but the writers of Midsomer Murder like putting Christians down and raising homosexuals up.
One of the men that is married is caught in bed with a 19 year old boy. He acts like it is okay because the kid is 19 and he explains he is not a "homosexual" and it was just a "business deal" he paid the kid for sex. So I guess age does not matter, marriage does not matter and paying for sex is okay to the writer who wrote this for the character Ian Eastman/Nick Dunning who looks like a young Bill Clinton.
Barnaby is also planning to retake his wedding vows of 25 years. The killings are very violent. A sword is used to cut a head off, a fire burned a motorhome and more. The killer goes before a gold Cross in church and prays and then sets out to kill. He later explains he is not sorry.
No Christian would go pray in a church and then go commit a murder. They try to make it look like the death and resurrection and belief in Christ is meaningless. Midsomer Murder stories are interesting and suspenseful but full of fantasy and farce and sometimes swearing.
The actors are good but I hope now that this series is basically over after 18 seasons they find a more respectful part in a more respectable series or movie.
