S15E5, The Sicilian Defence: Captivating opening scene, the mystery starts immediately. Beautifully shot, includes lighthearted Barnaby fam bits, but could have gone without the ear piercing screaming from the girl at hospital, yikes. Lovely scenery and buildings, the cast of characters, none very endearing. A dead cat will disturb some. With half an hour left, the pace picks up after my waning interest. And boy, does it get all twisty and turny! And even through the enjoyable absurdity, it manages to be surprisingly touching thanks to DCI John Barnaby's psychology skills! I also noticed his variety of facial expressions conveying different thoughts which reminded me of dear old Tom! Watch the first 30, skip the next, then view the last, and you've got an entertaining hour here! In short, this is a MEMORABLE episode, which is apropos considering the theme of it. (The Sicilian Defence is a chess opening that begins with the following moves: 1. e4 c5).
