'''Lothar:''' How many times have you seen this episode?

Line 32:
* [[Conspiracy Theorist]] : Dudley Carew in "Murder on St. Malley's Day".
** {{spoiler|[[Properly Paranoid]]}}
* [[CowboyMedia BebopResearch at His ComputerFailure]] : Midsomer is [[Did Not Do the Research|a county, not one village]], contrary to what idiot TV announcers and others will tell you.
** Although Badger's Drift is a very common locale where (judging by rough guess) everyone in the town has died or been a murderer. Including the priest. It's also one of the few non-Midsomer titled locales and is close to many of the others (you see signs pointing to Badger's Drift often). So it does fit the "deadliest village in Britain" tag.
** In Australia it's "deadliest county" in the ads, which are often edited to highlight the more tart dialogue, thus making them quite amusing.
Line 64:
* [[Irish Priest]]: Father Behan in "A Sacred Trust". {{spoiler|Being Catholic, however, does not spare him from the same fate as so many of his [[The Vicar|Anglican counterparts]].}}
* [[Jack the Ripoff]]: In the episode "Echoes of the Dead", Barnaby recognises the murders as recreations of famous murders of the early 20th century, except for the last one, which he's not able to place. When the murderer is caught, Barnaby asks about it, and the murderer shrugs and says, "I was in a hurry and I couldn't think of anything".
* [[LifesLife's Work Ruined]] : "Orchis Fatalis"
* [[Long Runners]] : Fifteen years and counting.
* [[Mistaken for Servant]]: Troy does this to a local lord in "Market for Murder".
