Midsomer Murders was great fun last night. They went to North Wales! That's a long way from 'Midsomer'. The helicopter sequence was like a tourism advert for Snowdonia, and I've had Calon Lan stuck in my head ever since. I was a bit dubious about the bloke from North Wales applying for a Home Office grant to rejuvenate his slate quarry. I dunno about heavy industry like that, but I know that the voluntary sector in Wales no longer has access to Home Office grants - the Welsh Assembly has its own (much smaller) pots of money instead. But that was a minor possible quibble. The episode was a lovely, cosy fun two hours, just like MM should be.

Also, Sharon Morgan was in it. Her daughter Saran is in Small's class in school, looks just like her. Always funny seeing her on TV.

Just wish ITV would air the show consistently, in a block, instead of tossing the episodes out here and there. They only ever make 4 or 6 episodes at a time as it is.
