- TriviaRichard Bradshaw who plays Peter slim is also a stuntman and has performed stunts in 5 episodes of Midsommer murders as well as doubling for Hugh Jackman and Pierce Brosnan he was also a stunt performer in Messiah 2 vengeance is mine which also starred Neil Dudgeon as DI Warren.
- GoofsThroughout the episode, Beltane is given as 4 May. It is actually 1 May (although fertility rites such as The Stag were often performed the night of 30 April, sometimes known as Walpurgisnacht). In addition, while some Beltane fertility rites were, indeed, incorporated into the modern Easter, that festival is more generally descended from Eostre, the festival of the Spring Equinox.
- Quotes
[Reverend Grigor has gatecrashed a Cider Festival at the local brewery and is preaching fervently about the evils of alcohol. He even accuses the vicar of being a fornicator]
Samuel Quested: Tell me, Norman. If "the other" is so wrong, how come you've got six children of your own?
[crowd laughs]
Samuel Quested: Six we know of, that is.
[more laughter]
Rev Norman Grigor: I can assure you, Samuel Quested, that I made those children to glorify the Lord. The act itself gave me no pleasure.
Chloe Baker: I'm sure your wife would say the same.
[uproarious laughter]
I originally had a score of 1 out of ten, on rewatching I've upped it to a 3, the first twenty minutes or so weren't so bad, but after that it turns into a complete and utter mess, I can't even believe it made it through an edit, the last fifteen/twenty minutes are literally unwatchable, even Warren Clarke couldn't save it. The village used looks very pretty, it is the best thing about it.
When this went out I was in fear that Midsomer Murders had run its course, there were definitely a few eyebrows raised after this went out, how contrasting to next week's 'A Sacred Trust,' which is a belter.
A miserly 3/10
