Finally, after three dodgy episodes, this series of Midsomer has finally turned out an enjoyable one that actually works as a mystery too – miracles do happen. ‘A Dying Art’ is certainly not the best episode of the show, with a puzzle that is probably a little too easy to...

The finale is here, and Galavant goes out on a high. We’ve been building up to these final two episodes all season, and there’s no disappointing cliff-hangers like last time. No, we’ve got stellar songs, great character work and a lot of laughs in an action-packed ending. The day of...

It’s not the strongest episodes of Galavant this week in terms of music, but the plot has advanced several steps.

This week’s instalment, ‘The Incident at Cooper Hill’, is a bit of a return to normalcy (or as normal as you’ll find in Midsomer).
