Midsomer Murders - Dance With the Dead [DVD]

Product Information

DCI Tom Barnaby and DS Ben Jones investigate the death of Simon Bright who is found dead inside an old World War II vintage Humber car parked at an abandoned airfield. From all appearances, the death appears to be a suicide, but the pathologist determines that the man suffered a severe blow to the head and may in fact have been unconscious when he died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Simon Bright's girlfriend, Laura Sharp, is nowhere to be found, but the death of the ageing village Lothario and the attempted murder of another of her friends narrows the list of possible murderers somewhat. Barnaby is convinced that one of Laura's ex-lovers is responsible but, given her rather active life, the question becomes which one? Dance with the Dead's" biggest problem is the pacing, which was problematic enough to detract more than one star from the rating. The pacing is rather rambling and some of the middle third does badly drag due to padding that doesn't add as much as it thought it did, with the overlong and pretty dull dance night scene being the biggest offender. That scene was also rather pointless and seemed only to be there to pad out the running time. On a business trip to China, Alan King suddenly dies. The family firm, King's Crystal, is in financial uncertainty, with plans to close its factory in Midsomer Magna. Six months later Alan's widow Hilary and his brother Charles are married, much to the chagrin of Alan's son Ian. With family feuds and factory workers angered by the loss of their jobs, motives abound when Peter Baxter, the firm's accountant, is found dead, stabbed with a Masonic poniard, and Ian is fatally poisoned. Barnaby and Jones suspect a disgruntled employee is guilty. With so many things to investigate, they will need to explore both the Freemasons and the family, and find that the play of Hamlet may hold the key to the case.

Sort of a la Twin Peaks...Who killed Laura Palmer, well not Laura Palmer exactly, but the central character in Dancing with the Dead was a young lady named Laura who's presence bookended another intriguing Midsomer Murders episode. Tony Kirby zve Carol Prenticeovou na drink, ale ona nemá zájem a rázně mu řekne, ať si jde se svou ženou. Frances Kirbyová zatím při běhání objeví v hangáru bývalého letiště staré auto s hadicí od výfuku zastrčenou dovnitř vozu. V autě je mrtvý mladík Simon Bright. Na sedačce je šampaňské se dvěma skleničkami a květiny. Policisté se dovtípí, že tam nebyl sám, a hledají dívku, která by mohla být přiotrávená, žádná ale není nikde hospitalizovaná...

The music fits the scenery and is always spot on. The direction is solid and so is the acting. John Nettles and Jason Hughes are wonderful together. The guest stars are passable too. I liked Nicola Redmond and Georgine Anderson the most.

There is an effort to pad out the 1940-s setting and it just doesn't work. I personally am very interested in 1940-1950- s and the music of that era, but I found the way, how the show tried to re-create it, dull and just unnecessary. The long dancing party sequence in the middle of "Dance with the Dead" did not add anything new to the narrative, felt as padding and because of it, the second half of the episode feels a bit tame. Midsomer Murders" has been one of my favorite shows for years, and I've said it numerous times, but after John Nettles left, the show hasn't been the same. But to be honest, "Midsomer Murders" started to lose something in the last seasons with Nettles as well. Starting off with the tenth season, which is much more inconsistent than the previous seasons. "Dance with the Dead" is definitely not a bad episode, it has a lot to love, but is sadly not very good at all. Not one of the best 'Midsomer Murders' episodes, but at the same time not among the worst. For a season opener though, "Dance with the Dead" was a little disappointing (especially when many of the earlier seasons had fantastic season openers). When popular GP Dr. Alan Delaney borrows fellow Dr. James Kirkwood's new car for an evening call-out, he is mysteriously killed in a hit-and-run accident. Barnaby and Jones start investigating in Midsomer Market and discover that James may have been the intended victim. The case leads them to North Wales — the former home of Delyth Mostyn, James's fiancée, to delve further. The possible suspects for the attempted murder on Kirkwood include Delyth's children, who oppose the engagement, Delyth's husband, and other acquaintances of Doctor Kirkwood. They need to find the truth before another attempt on James' life during a walk at Mount Snowdon. Felicity Dean, who played the niece of Rosemary, is absolutely stunning! Why isn't she a major star? She is beautiful.EPISODE 08 "Death in a Chocolate Box" Richard Holthouse Tony Etchells 11 May 2008 February–March 2007 6.88
