My wife and I DVR the trio of mystery shows on Biography Channel Sunday Night (Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, and Midsomer Murders). I enjoy them all -- the actor playing Sherlock in this series is spot-on, and I've always loved David Suchet's Hercule Poirot -- and really look forward to watching Midsomer.
It just struck me as funny watching an episode a few weeks back; Barnaby (John Nettles) got a new assistant detective, whose last name is Jones.
Barnaby. Jones.
Those born during the last couple of decades won't get that, but I wonder if that was just a little detective in-joke or complete coincidence.
Anyway, it's a great series.
