    Was this a repeat and not a new episode?

    Strange that S23 E1 & 2 are available by certain means so they must have
    been shown somewhere, possibly America, to have been copied.

    It was series 23 Ep2. My error.

    ITV's scheduling department seems to have a very odd logic for scheduling programmes such as Midsomer Murders. They show isolated episodes here and there, and if they show more that one episode on consecutive weeks they may
    be the end of one series and the start of another. Nothing as obvious as scheduling a block of episodes 24.1 to 24.4 etc from the same series.

    They scheduled one isolated episode which I think has not been shown before, but I presume they didn't plan to show any more in following weeks because when that episode was cancelled due to the unplanned interview with Prince Harry, they began showing consecutive episodes of Vera, rather than showing the MM episode a week late. Maybe we'll see the remaining episodes of MM eventually - several years after they have been shown outside the UK. It
    seems bizarre that the programmes are made by UK companies, using UK cast
    and crew, and yet the "home audience" is the last to see the episodes.
