So this Septimus Noone bloke was completely made up? What was the gravestone that Jonathan's wife saw all about then? Or was he a real person and the wife/her friend just used the name? Confused

There were holes in the plot wider than her Tawney torn tights! That smug smirk to camera has really done it for me as well, so not right for the tone of the program.

This last series was dross and agree with goodtimesinbontemps about there being no chemistry between him and Polly.

Awful series with no redeeming features whatsoever: will stick to watching repeats on sky.

I haven't enjoyed this series at all, there's just no chemistry between jc and polly and tbh jc seems bored and uncomfortable himself !

This one was a bit better, but I thought the "torn knee" was pushing it a bit, and I thought it unlikely that a balloon would float with a watch inside it.

The big hole, I thought, was that at the beginning the kidnappers beat up the real driver of the van and stole the van. The police would surely have made the connection between the stolen van and the kidnap, and would have put a call out for sightings of the van, and perhaps traced some of its movements on CCTV. If the real driver survived (which wasn't clear), he'd have been able to give the police a description of the kidnappers.

Kerry, you really weren't paying attention, were you? They explained that the man who died had a heart condition. His loving relatives know that he died from it in the bath, so they are no worse of for not knowing precisely which bath.

I thought it must have been planted on her fake escort man.

How could you possibly have thought that when she completely changed the sheets?

I thought it was the best one of the series. There were holes but at least the story was better. The woman was kidnapped because her husband was an MP. There were less random events in it, such as the two Scream-masked burglars from last week, who are still roaming the streets.

Wait monkey - I know Blush

Wifey was having a chat with lady and I thought there's June (havnt seen her for years) but looked a bit diff - loved terry and June - then camera went to couple playing scrabble and I thought oh she looks like June more - other lady wasn't her having chats with wifey Grin

The torn knee in tights meaning the pub name and the the on watch was ridiculous

I thought it was better than the previous 2 episodes but still well below par.

I enjoyed tonight's episode - had a plot - we found out at the end how it was done tho obv rather far fetched with a watch falling off a tree into her hood .......

Then again jc is often far fetched but that's half the fun of it

Saw June Whitfield and thought the other lady looked a bit like her not relising she was playin twins till at the end on stage

Not blonde for nothing Grin

Oh, right. I remember that scene but ran up to check on DS. That's awful though, isn't it..his family have no way of knowing how he died or what of...maybe it' a hereditary disease they need to be checked for...or maybe Josie Lawrence did kill him.

A body in a bathtub can't be laughed off in a 'one of those things ha ha'! They moved the body etc. Awful. Before anyone says it, I know it's just a TV programme but this is just crap!

The poor man who died was the husband's friend who was coming round to sort out the clutch on her car, because that was what he did for a living.

TOAD It's a religious thing, they don't do games of chance and are quite anti lottery. He's at officer level and it socially would not at all be the "done" thing. He would be more coy about if he actually had. The SA don't accept lottery money, as many religious groups don't. Within Christianity there is a variety amongst denominations but there's plenty that see it as inherently wrong/immoral

From Goodness upthread.

Urgh, that was shit.

The last scene...well Polly is vile for being glad a woman with 2 young kids and a career, who was no threat to her, broke her leg and had a flooded house.

Covering up a potential murder/suspicious death...urgh! And who was the poor man who died...did we ever find out?

The 'mysteries' were crap. Why did they kidnap that woman in the first place?? And, as I said, 'watch in the hood' oh do fuck off.

And wa there any humour in tonight's ep? June Whitfield's twins were possibly supposed to be the comedy but...not for me.

I have been so disappointed in this series. It's not Jonathan Creek, it's just Midsummer Murders Lite. Sad
