The sculptor who was commissioned to do a beautiful metal piece who is engaged (or was) to an equally aggressive, hurt feelings brute of a bully who also hated John because of how he was treated by the ladies. Wouldn't have mind if he was murdered, btw. This whole episode basically had me wanting MORE people dead. Is that sad for me to say? Trust me...there are episodes of MM where the people you think or, wish that should die, doesn't. Selina Cadell played Phyllis Cadell in the pilot episode "The Killings at Badger's Drift" (1997) and Eleanor Crouch in "Midsomer life" (2008). Later at night, Gerald goes to look at the statue.

An inquisitive and bold young woman, she's inherited her parents' friendly attitudes and community spirit. Early in the series, she attended Cambridge University and dated a fellow drama student, called Nico ( Ed Waters). After that, she sometimes went out with and secretly flirted with DS Troy and DS Scott. She is an actress and frequently takes temporary jobs in the Midsomer area when "resting" between assignments. Like her mother, her tendency to do community work often leaves her personally involved with the murders that take place. She meets Simon Dixon ( Sam Hazeldine) in "The Axeman Cometh", becomes engaged to him in "Death In A Chocolate Box", and marries him in "Blood Wedding". That is the irony of it. You see, Frank Bishop was so determined that his man would win that he did a bit of pre-fight tampering. Kinsella didn't know. But he was told this morning he had failed a drugs test.Starting with what "The Noble Art" does well, the production values as always are just great, the idyllic look of it contrasting very well with the story's grimness, and quaint and atmospheric photography. The music fits perfectly, with some lush jauntiness and sometimes an ominous quality, and the theme tune one of the most memorable and instantly recognisable of the genre. She held the document that legalised the wager. She was asking for money. But what she really wanted was revenge. John Lightbody is gardener Steve Hope in "Hidden Depths", in "Death and Dust", he plays the role of Jason Slater. Grace goes to the Boxing practice center. Ken Touhy is there to practice.

Teddy tells him Ken told him he'd done a bit of boxing and wanted Teddy to have a look at him. He was nothing special. Frank says, "Just a one-off, then? Because if I thought he'd been here more than once, I'd have to start wondering what you're up to. You and this...loving wife of mine." Sebastian looks at Gerald and then walks out.

Joyce and Barnaby arrive at Morchard Manor. Joyce is helping plan the Reenactment. She runs inside and shows Grace and Camilla a poster printed for the event. Joyce says, "What do you think? Magnificent brutes, aren't they?" Grace says, "Joyce! You're right. That'd definitely persuade me to go to the fight." Camilla says, "They didn't have posters in 1860. All the arrangements had to be hush-hush in case the police found out and stopped it." Grace says, "That was 150 years ago. This time round, we need all the publicity we can get." Camilla says, "I was only trying to show that I'd done my research." Grace says, "Hey, you don't have to justify yourself to me. I'm not that husband of yours. We're very happy to have you in charge." The Fight: In Morchard Manor, a group of villagers are watching the fight of local John Kinsella at Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY. Libby runs up after Ken. Grace says, "They're only pretending! Your Ken will be all right." Libby says, "It's not Ken that I'm worried about. It's John." Grace says, "My John is champion of the world, love. I think he knows how to take care of himself." Libby says, "You don't know what Ken's capable of. He's got the strength of a bull when he's angry. And he's way beyond angry." Grace looks at Libby and says, "Do you mean you and my John have been....." Libby nods... "and right now, all he wants to do is rip John's head off his shoulders."

[5] Dr. Fleur Perkins [ edit ] Gerald tells Barnaby that Camilla has been a bit emotional of late. Barnaby says, she would be, being pregnant. Gerald says, "It's exactly why it's not the right time to be thinking about a divorce. You saw the way Sebastian treated her the other night and it's not an isolated incident. I'm ashamed to say my son is a bully." Barnaby says, "Iris Holman says that Sebastian is not your son." Gerald says, "Oh, that woman really has become very bitter. He was fathered by another man before my wife walked out on me and Sebastian." Sebastian's natural father was a playboy and drank himself to death. So Gerald raised another man's child. Gerald says, "I raised my son. Which is why I feel responsible for the way he's treating that poor girl."
