Episode 2.6
Prismark105 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It is time for the old standby. The reclusive rock star who is found murdered.

After many years away, the reclusive Dura has been persuaded to make a new album.

During the recording in a locked room, he is found dead his face bashed in and a strange symbol draw on his face.

His producer finds the body but are stumped how the death took place. Although they recognise the new age symbolism to the drawing on his face.

Later someone from the record company arrives giving her condolences and demanding the advance within 24 hours.

Meanwhile every ex pat in this quaint part of France is an expert on Dura apart from Jean.

It was all a bit pants really. I mean the late Pete Green, ex Fleetwood Mac was ravaged with drugs and paranoia. He still made a respectable comeback decades later.

Here we have to believe that a gruesome murder was planned as the real Dura looked too old for today's audiences. Most of the Rolling Stones looked too old since the early 1980s.

I Kept Watching Hoping This Series Would Improve But It Just Gets Worse With EVERY Episode

I thought there was supposed to be comedy in this, not just contrived clichéd implausible murder mysteries.

With the exception of Steve Edge, Sally Lindsay, Alex Gaumond, Djinda Kane, Narayan Hecter and Alais Lawson, and perhaps one or two other recurring actors the acting is mediocre to atrociously poor (and leaning hard towards atrociously poor end of the spectrum). Though Sue Holderness and Robin Askwith are ok and even good choices for the roles they play.

This episode took the cake though. Casting was unbelievable, and there were so many missed opportunities for a laugh; as though they deliberately tried to not make the audience laugh. NO LAUGHING PERMITTED!!! THIS IS A SERIOUS DRAMA PROGRAM!! Lol. What a joke! I wonder who at the network is getting kickbacks for this, or if anyone read the scripts before greenlighting the second season. Finally, what most people don't realize is how difficult it is to act with bad script and across from bad actors, so kudos to the ones who performed well; it must've been a chore.
