Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the last time that Rover automobiles are featured in the show, after the MG Rover Group failed in April 2005. Up to this point, DCI Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) has driven a Rover, including the iconic Rover 75 from season 3 through season 8. Sergeant Dan Scott (John Hopkins) drove a Rover 45 during the same period. The cars themselves were provided directly by MG Rover for filming of the show.
- GoofsWhen a character is tossed off the bridge, he and his assailant struggle and yell loudly. This happens within yards of a busy pub that has an open front door and people visible in a window that is in the direct line of site of the bridge. And yet nobody comes to the victim's aid, and there's not a single witness to or report of the struggle, neither of which seems possible given the setting.
- Quotes
DCI Tom Barnaby: He was respected and admired, Scott, because he encouraged and inspired so many people, including the great Joan Alder.
Sergeant Dan Scott: Joan Alder? 'Midsomer Rhapsody'?
DCI Tom Barnaby: Yeah.
[surprised]
DCI Tom Barnaby: Do you know that piece?
Sergeant Dan Scott: My mum was a fan. She played it when she wanted us out of the house.

Featured review
Relationships healed but very confusing.
This episode is about music and a woman named Joan Adler. Musicians and those interested are trying to find out who wrote Midsomer Rapsody, if somebody else wrote it or if it is a forgery along with some letters.
There are so many characters and the information given was confusing.
Joan Alder was supposedly married to John Farrow/Hedge a man that lived in the woods and did not bother with anyone. They had a daughter named Sarah who enters the pictures years later and meets her father.
Then there is Laura Crawford who claims she was Joan Alder's lover. Then there is another husband named Michael Maybury who gets blamed for treating Joan mean. None of the relationships are explained like when did Joan leave John Farrow and marry Maybury.
John Farrow/Hedge was disowned by his rich father who thought he was dead. So man stories in this episode when you hear Barnaby explaining what happened and who killed who and why even that it is confusing.
The good thing about this is 2 old people are getting married. John Farrow is with his daughter he has not seen for years and Johns father apologies to him just before the wedding.
I am glad Sgt Scott is leaving. He is a good actor, handsome but plays the part of a cop who is influenced by women's flirtations when he questions them. He shows his weakness which affects his judgement.
