So. Das war ein Erfolg für meine #lowcode Lösung dWb+ https://elbosso.codeberg.page/tag_dWb+.html : habe heute ein schon lange bekanntes Performance Problem untersucht und bereits die Ursache so weit eingegrenzt, dass ich einen workaround implementieren konnte. Jetzt zur Belohnung nochmal #midsomermurders #inspectorbarnaby und morgen dann nachsehen ob ich die Ursache weiter eingrenzen und dann sogar fixen kann...

Why are English TV series such as Midsomer Murders so popular in the UK – and beyond? What sets the Midsomer atmosphere apart from Poirot, Marple & Co.?
My half-hour read explores this in an essay-like way.https://midsomermurdershistory.org/the-atmosphere-of-midsomer-murders?mtm_campaign=M&mtm_kwd=M

My favorite game to play with my dad is watching random, classic British movies or tv shows and then counting how many people we recognize as players on Midsomer Murders.

What dramas at #knit and #natter this week?
After an enormous scary bust up a couple of weeks ago (I'm a coward with #TN so I moved away fast & hid in the store) last week was a relief.
The only incident last week was a minor disagreement about the #cookies
Someone wanted to open the [osh ones before we'd finished the plain!From #MidsomerMurders (well almost) to Soap and I thought it was just a #charity #knitting group!

The Reverend Richard Coles (no relation), former Communard, ordained priest, broadcaster and TV celebrity recently turned his hand to writing murder mysteries. I bought his first crime novel, Murder Before Evensong, featuring Canon Daniel Clement, a couple of years ago but only got around to reading it recently. It caught my eye for two reasons, one that I am quite partial to whodunnits, and the other that I read and enjoyed the first volume of the author’s autobiography, Fathomless Riches, which showed him to be a very good writer.
As you might have guessed, Murder Before Evensong, is a kind of homage to the old-school Agatha Christie village murder typical of the Miss Marple stories. Murder at the Vicarage came immediately to mind when I first saw the book, but the story is not set so far in the past – more eighties than thirties. Richard Coles is also far wittier than Agatha Christie, with a definite touch of PG Wodehouse in his style. When I got into the book it reminded me very much of the original Midsomer Murders novels written by Caroline Graham, which I think are excellent; with somewhat whimsical plots, and populated with somewhat eccentric characters; the long-running TV series has long since run out of ideas, and is now tired and formulaic, but the books on which it is based are very good indeed. Like the original Inspector Barnaby stories, Murder Before Evensong is very funny in places, but less of a parody and more of an affectionate tribute to the genre. Coles also writes movingly about grief, and its effect on a close-knit rural community, no doubt informed by his own personal life and experiences as a parish priest. Canon Clement obviously has a lot of Richard Coles in him, including a love of dachsunds.
It’s difficult to review a murder mystery without giving a way the plot, so I’ll just say that it is well constructed. I narrowed the list of possibilities down to two very early on, and was proven right, but I didn’t really get the motive right.
Anyway, it’s an enjoyable read and recommended for enthusiasts. I gather that more Canon Clement stories are on the way. That reminds me of a line in an episode of Midsomer Murders, when Barnaby is joined by a new Detective Sergeant, just up from London, who is immediately plunged into the investigation of a killing spree. He turns to his Chief Inspector and says words to the effect of ‘For a small village there are a lot of murders around here’ to which Barnaby raises an eyebrow and says ‘Yes, that has been remarked upon…’

Belatedly watching another relatively recent #MidsomerMurders, and this one feels like a reunion of #JonathanCreek people. And then there’s the outfit Fleur is wearing, which just made me guffaw out loud. Though that might be unintentional. #BritishTV #TV #CrimeTV #DontLookNow

So, I've never watched #Broadchurch before and in the first five minutes, there's already
1 Doctor Who
1 Who CompanionI haven't even seen #DavidTennant yet.
Apparently, there's a #Torchwood alumni in it too but I dunno if that's this first series I'm watching.
The only other thing that can keep up with Who for celeb Brit actor spotting is #MidsomerMurders or, back in the day, #TheBill.
