There has never been an explanation why the Dog is called Sykes?
ReplyDeleteI long since lost the mental stamina required to sit through a whole episode of Midsomer Murders. Besides, you knew whodunnit from the start - it was the psychotic bell-ringer, or a priest who has lost his faith.
DeleteLiving in the Midsomers is clearly injurious to health, given the body-count. Like whenever Jessica Fletcher or Rosemary and Thyme hove into view…. Let’s just say, don’t be anywhere near them if you want to make old bones. When they turn up, “it was moyder”. Actually no, that was Macmillan And Wife, wasn’t it. At least Jim Rockford had to receive a telephone message to tell him a gruesome death has occurred, instead of spontaneously generating one by his mere presence at a village fete or something.
At least Sykes has never committed any murders (so far), but they must be running out of survivors.
ReplyDeleteI would have if I were Sykes!
DeleteThere's an old showbiz saying, Never try to act with a child or a dog. Eddie was the high point of the admirable Frasier series.
