Yer fav MIDSOMER MURDERS episode
Posted: Sat Jan 12, 2019 3:25 pm
There are now over 100 episodes.
Blind Child enjoys most the ones centering about paganism - and there were quite a few. (The ones Blind Child enjoys less are connected to sports: murder on the cricket patch; at the golf course.
Just watched NIGHT OF THE STAG (with Warren Clarke guesting) and this was quite good.
Actually this Set 22 has another paganism episode - The Sleeper Under The Hill - about modern day druids, a stone circle and mystical ley-lines. (Ley-lines are geometrical lines, apparent alignments (at first speculated across Western Europe and Great Britian) postulated by Watkins in the early 1920s which connect ancient churches,standing stones,hill forts,causeways,wayside crosses, landmarks both natural and man-made, burial tors. Some thought that where these mystical lines cross, neolithic kings (and treasure) was buried.
Blind Child says "mystical" but it shoud be noted that the supernatural connnection only came later - Watkins saw them only as practical lines; quickest way of getting from one site/landmark of significance to another.)
Anyways, Night Of The Stag is about two rather insular Midsomer villages separated by a valley. Warren Clarke is out to revive a 700 year old practice between the two villages where - to combat in-breeding - come night-time the men of each village cross over to the next village and fertilize the women.
