We've had what must be the most excitement ever at work the past few days because Midsomer Murders have been filming outside out office. Wednesday afternoon they spent doing up the outside of the shop in the courtyard and playing about with a dinghy. Thursday afternoon they pranced around a bit, had very bright lights and did a scene where someone dressed something like Neptune walked from their fake giftshop out of the courtyard. This morning they stood around and chatted and drunk tea. This afternoon they were filming in the shop with some black curtain over it, so we couldn't see what they were doing.

No sign of John Nettles so far, but according to their letter they'll be back on Monday. And we all await the new series of Midsomer Murders with baited breath. Or the fast forward button, in most cases.
