Midwinter Murders.

INSPECTOR BARNABY
Where were you last night?

FARMER GENGIS SANJIT
I watched the Antiques Road Show then the ten o clock news.

INSPECTOR BARNABY
Can you prove that?

FARMER GENGIS SANJIT
Well, I have witnesses.

INSPECTOR BARNABY
And whom might they be?

FARMER GENGIS SANJIT
The postmaster Amir, our local school teacher Winston, and the Very Reverend Obydanywona.

INSPECTOR BARNABY
You are going to need more that chummy.

FARMER GENGIS SANJIT
Oh, there was one other, but he was drunk.

INSPECTOR BARNABY
And whom might that be?

FARMER GENGIS SANJIT
The local cowboy builder Billy Bloggs.

INSPECTOR BARNABY
Ah, that's more like it, off you go.

I am very confused. Huh?

A PC version of the TV production, Midsomer Murders.

And I thought I wrote thudding satire.

I actually rather like this.

Maybe add a reference to 'Inspector Barnaby' being a family business.

(and lose the 'chummy')

Thanks
Do you think there is a spoof here.
The mind boggles at the amount of sillyness that could be included.
Almost the Goons or even Monty Python.
