Thanks for listening!

The podcast that has the theory Joyce is the killer is - HOOT! #8 - Midsomer Murders: The Joyce Barnaby Effect and can be found here - https://soundcloud.com/user-489385592/hoot-8-midsomer-murders-the-joyce-barnaby-effect

The celebrity cook Joyce mentions is Delia Smith. She doesn't have a recipe for Stewed Neck of Lamb on her site but she has lots of other things at https://www.deliaonline.com/

Please send us your iced sombrero recipes or pictures of you eating them!

Here is a picture of Elizabeth Spriggs in Dr. Who with headband!

That headband is fantastic!

Here is one of Barry Jackson playing Drax on Dr. Who.

Bullard looks downright evil!

Maniacs,

Thanks for listening!

Aptly Named Pub

Since there is no Aptly Named Pub in the episode, send us your ideas.

Gerald's Caliber

Gerald clearly says in the episode a 35mm caliber bullet, this is clearly a mistake. A 35MM caliber bullet is used with huge naval gun ships. A .35 caliber bullet is a popular caliber for a Remington revolver which i assume Gerald means.

XKCD Greenland cartoon - https://xkcd.com/1451/.

If anyone knows what school was used for Causton Comprehensive I'd love to know and see pictures.

The name of Brian Clapper's play according to the subtitles is Slangwhang for Five Mute Voices. What the heck is a Slangwhang? A slangwhanger is a loud, abusive speaker or an obnoxiously offensive writer. That might be the reason for the title.

Who do you think does the best Dead Body Acting in this episode?

Thanks again for listening and next week "Death of a Hollow Man".

Maniacs,

In Podcast 117(S20E01), we ask what does a brewing vat, a pitchfork-type thing and puppies have in common? The worst Birthday Party ever! Also, is Brother Josef guilty?

Bernie the Badger

In “Red In Tooth & Claw” the Barnaby’s are tasked with taking a family photo with Bernie, Betty's preschool class's badger. We thought it would be fun for the maniacs to do the same.

You'll find two images of Bernie linked below. One shows Bernie holding a sign that says "Hey Maniacs!". The other has a blank sign that you can write your own message on. To join in the fun:

  1. Print either version of Bernie.
  2. Take a picture of you with Bernie or, if you'd prefer, Bernie in front of a local landmark.
  3. Share your photo using one of the following methods before March 1:
  • Email your photo to [email protected] and let us know your location (any combination of city,state, and country you'd like to share).
  • Share your photo on Twitter and include @Midsomermaniacs and the hashtag #MidsomerBernie and your location in the world
  • Share your photo on Instagram and include @Midsomermaniacs and the hashtag #MidsomerBernie and your location in the world.
