Ep 30: Midsomer Murders
from Cultural Futures Exchange · host Cultural Futures Exchange
Well, if you’ve ever had any doubt that we’re a couple of old chaps, then I think this episode will put that to rest. We are! That’s right, this week, on CFX, we are talking about the favorite television show of not only the late Queen Elizabeth II but every British pensioner, Midsomer Murders! Unlike most of what we have covered in the past, this show is still on the air and shows no sign of slowing down even though, like us, the majority of its audience and cast, has gotten on in years. This week we get into detective mode to answer the question of whether this ludicrously over the top and lascivious mystery show will stand the test of time and along the way we learn.. How to survive in Midsomer even though your odds of getting killed are quite high Why sometimes the best replacement for a retiring police inspector is his/her own first cousin What is the difference between craft beer and “real ale” (actually we still don’t know) Why you should never underestimate the strength of an elderly person if you’re in the greater Causton area What being “rat-assed” means and the best remedy for the condition How many hobby clubs and groups a small town in England can support Why you should probably keep it in your pants around Midsomer way….
