Who Killed Cock Robin, S4E4.

This episode had some interesting and well-acted characters, but it just fell a bit flat for me. Joyce and Tom are seen eating a meal at home discussing Cully's upcoming birthday. Joyce accompanies Tom to a pub by a lovely little pond with ducks, but is again left alone while Tom follows up on a hunch. They also go shopping together at a cute little shop called Bits and Baubles.

The killers' motives are of greed and revenge, but the murder plot itself is drab.

Lovely English scenery here including large estates and horses and expensive interiors...

Destroying Angel, S4E2.

An interesting episode with 3 different killers involved in separate crimes (but we don't know this until the reveal at the end). Barnaby seems to have sympathy for one of the murderers (as does the viewer) since it's made out to be a sort of justified revenge for the original murder. 

Joyce appears throughout the episode and clearly one ups Tom in a game of backyard croquet (Cully is not in this episode). A wide shot illustrates the vastness of their yard with plenty of room to play! 

Many other lovely shots of country hills and grand homes both big and small...

Beyond the Grave, S3E4.

Filmed in Chenies Manor House (as the museum) of Buckinghamshire; Chipperfield, Hertfordshire; and Ewelm (as Aspen Tallow) of Oxforshire, S3E4, "Beyond the Grave," is set in the village of Aspen Tallow. Scroll and stroll through all the quaint exteriors and interiors to read my commentary. Enjoy!
















Interiors






Here we have our second glimpse of Cully's long-term boyfriend, Nico. He was first introduced in Season 1's, "Death of a Hollow Man." He seems rather goofy in his mannerisms but turns out to be quite a smart guy as he tags along with Troy on the case. The case itself is not too fascinating, but interesting enough with a bit of a spooky ghost element that keeps the pace fine enough. 

Beautiful greenery in the town scenes, but not much in the way of interiors as the episode had a rather dark, dusty museum quality throughout
