Ye, it's a great show so long as you don't take it too seriously. It's so different to the likes of Morse (also a great show as are Lewis and Endeavour, and even better books) or A Touch of Frost, but it's so good. The books actually came first and there are only five (or six maybe, I forget and CBA checking), but they make up the first corresponding episodes of series 1, which now that I think about it only has five episodes so there must be five books. I remember a few years ago I read this article where somebody had calculated the murder rate in Midsomer, it wasn't good
“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
The thing about the show is, after you get through three eps you realise that every single episode is exactly the same. Also, it kind of sucks that Barnaby never manages to actually catch the culprit before they end up dead themself, he would be out of the job after a couple of cases I'd think...

To be fair, the show is supposed to be formulaic

Finally getting around to the Wheel of Time books. I've heard so much about them, lets see if they live up to the hype. There are like 14 books in the series but don't think I'm gonna try and knock them all out just yet
Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting
