69. Chekhov’s Trouser Press (Double Edged Sword)

An extra long episode with extra voices as we’re joined by the Midsomer Maniacs themselves!! We have an absolute blast discussing this episode where Jim Leonard returns, and he’s in MEGA TROUBLE. Listen in as we discover that there are no blackcurrants in North America, that Charlotte is living in the future and exactly where the Stretford End is. The original Lovejoy episode was written by Roger Marshall and directed by Alex Kirby. Antique of the Week: The slightly creepy rocking horse (pre-Jim’s ass.) Cocktail of the Week: A Bloody Samurai Many thanks to our guests Mark and Sarah from the Midsomer Maniacs podcast. Find them online @midsomermaniacs on Twitter and Instagram, or on the Midsomer subreddit! Lovejoy writers Jeremy Paul, Douglas Watkinson and of course the inimitable Terry Hodgkinson have all written for Midsomer Murders - check out which episodes on Wikipedia and give them a go!
