(updated 4/26/2021) "Written in blood" is only the very 2nd episode of Midsomer Murders with the original air time of 22 March 1998. Filming actually took place in July/August 1997. That means we have been tuned into Midsomer Murders for almost 25 years! Everyone is extremely young looking here without any chance yet to estblish themselves as icons of the British crime series. Anna Massey, veteran actress, does a retake of Jack Nicholson in The Shining. She gives what I consider to be an excellent but creepy performance of a woman willing to kill the world in revenge for her beloved brother. When will Sergeant Troy be allowed to drive on his side of the road? The plot and writing are goofy and weird and a little bit sick minded. I wonder just what constitutes the British entertainment mind for this program to be offered for their viewing.
