• Doctor Who spotting.

    Doctor Peter Davidson, and Madam Slithereen (going by internal face recognition, didn't check) both appear in Inspector Barnaby S25 E02.

    (Caught that accidentally on a German channel's mediathek, was the video following Brokenwood, and I thought it would be the next episode. It
    wasn't, but now I'm watching it for the Doctor. :) )

    "Inspector Barnaby"?? Is that actually "Midsomer Murders"??

    "Brokenwood"?? Is that the New Zealand series .... under appreciated, I thought.

    Madam Slitheen has been a regular in Midsomer Murders for the
    past few years... unfortunately, her stupid humour and constant
    putting down of DS Winter makes her character very annoying.

    Yes, but in some European countries (German, France, Denmark, etc.)
    they do retitle "Midsomer Murders" as "Inspector Barnaby", in the local language of course.

    Many other shows also get renamed in other countries. "Doctor Who" for
    example goes by ...
    - Spain: "Doctor Mystery" ("El Doctor Misterio")
    - Hungary: "Who Are You, Doc?" ("Kivagy, Doki?")
    - China: "The Mysterious Doctor", "The Strange Man From Another World",
    and "Time-and-Space-Crossing Doctor"
    (no idea why there are three, possibly due to different dialects or
    maybe different networks getting the rights).

    Massively over-hyped, dismal, badly acted, badly written, boring, and
    the same old half-dozen actors, cheap-looking and lazy "Midsomer
    Murders" knock-off, ... complete garbage, just like *all* New Zealand
    made TV shows and movies. :-p

    I have no idea what it's called in the original. German TV channels like changing titles, sigh. (At least the episode I watched was also
    available undubbed.)

    Google says you're right.

    Yeah, somewhere downunder. Guy who likes country music and his team investigate murders in some place with some sometimes somewhat bizarre characters. Memorable: Russian pathologist, and recurring dude "Frodo".

    (Yeah, I'm terrible with names, still.)

    I like that show, would like more of it, and even better if they offered
    it without dubbing.
