We were watching a good murder yesterday evening, the Midsomer variety, an episode we'd recorded earlier, when disaster struck. Just at the point when the first murder took place, remarkably an entire one hour into the episode, surely some kind of record for the series, the picture began to break up. And it continued to break up, making the remainder of the story unwatchable.
The fault lay in the original broadcast. The BBC Entertainment channel, the guilty party, is apt to break-up at odd moments. Unfortunately we'd recorded the final airing of the episode in question so there was no chance of catching it again.
And to add insult to injury I'd pretty much figured out Whodunnit! (Actually Noi ran the episode to its unwatchable conclusion after I'd gone to bed in a huff and was able to see enough to make sense of the plot. This morning I stunned her with my nifty detective work.)
Ah, the perils of subscribing to cable tv. Life just isn't fair, is it?
