It's Just Not Cricket

Great Slaughter seems certain to lose its cricket club, the rent hasn't been paid, and owner Valerie Vandermeer has called the debt in. It all comes down to one cricket match, one where all eyes are on star player Humphrey Lash.

It's definitely been the most consistent series of the show, and this is another fine episode. A good mix of fun, mystery and make believe.

It was a little easier to work out whodunnit, even before the murder occurred, some casting just shouts 'murderer.'

Sister Boniface is actually hardly in it, you see very little of her.

Why has Norman become such a fool, he wasn't bad when he started, but recently he is running around like he's been lobotomised, one imagines the newspaper has nosedived since Ruth left.

Miss Thimble's cake looked rather amazing to be honest, I'd be up for a slab of that.

Great Slaughter is of course a fantasy, make believe land, but isn't it sweet, lovely, naive and innocent.

Another fine episode, just don't mention the accent.

9/10.
