Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe portrait of Benedicta Milson is actually of Margaret Tudor (1489-1541), eldest daughter of Henry VII of England. To fit in with the story, the picture has been altered to include a treasure chest and a necklace around Margaret's neck. Margaret's right arm has also been moved to rest on the chest. Originally, both her arms were folded across her body, supporting a small monkey which is now partially floating in mid-air.
- GoofsWhen the third victim is killed by being impaled with a pike, the weapon passes completely through the victim's torso from back to front, ending up with the blade entirely visible outside the victim's chest. However when the murder is shown again in flashback during the killer's confession, the blade only penetrates halfway into the victim's back and remains there.
- Quotes
Rev Peter Corby: It's a troubled path you're choosing, Bartholomew.
Bartholomew Hines: I'm not the one in trouble. Be sure that your sins will find you out.
Featured review
A once fine series now on the level of Ed Wood's "Plan B From Outer Space"
This episode is of an example of how bad this series has become. The first murder is of a woman pushed into a shallow hole and a small load of dirt dropped in on her. It is not enough to even cover her. So what does she do when she sees the arm of the machinery slowly rotating to get another shovel load of dirt to drop on her? Does she simply sit up, step out and walk away from the hole? Of course not! She instead lies there while fully capable of getting out, watches what she is clearly about to happen and gives a moan of "Oh, no!" ... More dirt comes and she is a most compliant victim.
This is the routine for many of the murders on most of these episodes now. When there are multiple possible responses to a suspicious light, noise or situation like this, a most willing "victim" chooses, out of many more reasonable options, the one thing most likely to get him/her killed. I.e., the script seems more like a parody of a murder mystery rather than a real one.
