If you want to know what the the postman had for his breakfast 3 months before discovering the 2 bodies this show is for you. If you want to know know what everyone in the village had for the breakfast on the morning of a double murder this show was a foe you. If you want to understand why people have stopped paying for tv licence just listen to this show. Wow!!!

  • Hhmmm

    The ads at the beginning and end plus the long musical intro probably take up as much time as the episode itself. This isnt the US. We can concentrate for more than five minutes.
