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
Family drama ousts murder mystery elements
The discovery of a priceless music score leads to startling revelations about its composer's life. As Barnaby and Scott investigate, they discover the manuscript may also provide them with the clue they need to solve the case of a local man found battered to death in his cottage. June Whitfield and Trevor Peacock guest star.
Ok MM, though a bit on the average side with the story getting bogged down in long lost daughters, dead son's turning up alive, dad discovering that they have daughters they didn't know existed. More family drama than murder mystery. Which makes it dreary in places & the death scenes don't live up to the glorious OTT ones.
