You got it folks, there are 4 funerals and 1 wedding in this episode. But we neither care for the departed or the beloved who gather. I rate it a C for Choppy & Convoluted Cast of Characters. Maybe I should rate it an F for Feuds, Fairs, Feminists, and Funerals--all of those Fine in and of themselves--but when combined, Fall Flat. Hmm..but I could be persuaded to rate it a C for Charismatic Charmers for indeed the two stars shine a light on this otherwise dull plot (would've been better to focus on the history of the fire at Marwood rather then the contrived men vs. women angle). Anyway, let's focus on the positives. Ahh...and with its backdrop of cold, blustery winds amid graveyards at night and eerie tense bell tolls, it's not a bad way to spend an afternoon, especially on 2nd or 3rd viewing after you realize who and why and what and where...only revealed in the last few scenes. But it is worth the wait of course, thanks to the regular cast, ever calm, ever kooky, Barnaby and Jones (with bonus Bullard, Cully, and Joyce-and Joyce's mum too!). Loads of beautiful buildings and scenery in this one. Check the details here on
