This, as is Best, a completely Terence-centric review (save for a small Troy-gush). Just so you know.

CAUTION: CONTAINS SPOILERS!

The first time we see our dear Terence, he's thoroughly involved in a rousing game of cricket. He looks absolutely splendid in his whites. I could have died happy right then. But there was more. He makes a *bit* of a bad call in his base-running (or whatever it's called in Cricket), and gives the evil b*stard Robert Cavendish a nice apologetic look. Swooooooonnnnn....

There's a bit of Terence-less-ness, and then they move to the cricket locker room. It's here that they get the tiny little shot which was our only phsical proof of Terence's part in DM11 until we were blessed by the Screen Cap Fairy. Terence is good and angry when stupid Cavendish tells him he won't be in the next week's match. And our little Terence is a bad boy! He says "pissed off"! And smoulders...quite a bit. This is where Cavendish calls him a guttersnipe. I couldn't stop giggling for a while after that, which brought some funny looks from my family. I was reminded of Wellard at this--the way he said "Yes, Mr. Cavendish" was almost like "I did NOT push the Captain"--anger seething through. Verrrrrry nice.

Our next Terence shot has him skulking around the shadows of the Cavendish residence. He's poorly lit, but what you can see is NICE. He's so...bad... To say the least, it's very thudworthy.

And so continues a bit of a Terence-less spell until we finally get to after the death of the silly Tara Cavendish. I can only describe her in one word: Golddigger. Anyway, we see Terence in a blue t-shirt and jeans chopping wood outside the Cavendish estate. He doesn't say anything, and the outfit is kind of baggy, so we don't see any nice Terencey features, but the scowl he gives to Barnaby is worthwhile.

The next time we see Terence is in the bar. He pops up as Barnaby and Troy (who I'll get to later) arrive for a drink. He says he tends the bar for Trish for letting him stay above the pub. He exchanges some rather sour conversation with Barnaby. And, again, smoulders quite a bit. I was on the verge of passing out. That boy looks FINE when he's mad.

The next time we see Charles Jennings is when he's typing the blackmail letter. I believe he wasn't wearing any pants, but again, bad lighting. If he wasn't, you wouldn't be able to see anyway. Sigh. So sad, what a waste. How I *wish* to be that glass of milk. So anyway, he looks quite satisfied with himself after typing, and shows us his most evil grin yet. And-a-one, and-a-two, and swooooooonnnn...

And then comes the tragic end. At the cricket match, he plods into the scoring shed, looking depressed. Poor lad, wanted to give him a hug. Sadly, we don't see him again until his untimely demise. *sniff*..why the cute ones???

Some thoughts on the overall show:

On a Terence note--all through, you get some lovely shots of his sweet little overbite. I've grown quite attached to it. It's only noticeable if he's show from below or opens his mouth really wide. i think it's darn cute. It's also pleasing to see him without the queue. He's the one Indyboy that I don't really like a queue on. His hair is too flat for it, in my opinion. It's quite nice in a nice, short, modern cut.

I must say, for anyone who hasn't seen a Midsomer Murder, I suggest you do, even if Terence isn't in it. Because in my opinion, Sgt. Troy is quite purdy. Especially while playing cricket :)

I actually figured out who did it. I'm surprised. Actually, my mom and I both figured it out. Once you've seen it, you'll understand, I hope. But it was a good mystery. Oh, and watch out for the shady old people. Collins, I think is their name. It's an older couple, born-again christians, and they're SHADY. Hide your eyes when they're alone. I've been scarred for life because of those 2 old nutters.

So...that's it I guess.
