•Elspeth Rice has just returned from measuring the depth of a lake in Midsomer Vinae. She is deeply concerned about the results, as this lake holds a painful memory for her. Five years ago, she accidentally hit and fatally injured young Jessica Tyler, and her car sank into this very lake. Nothing should incriminate her. Elspeth has been struggling to forgive herself ever since, and in an effort to protect herself, she made some regrettable choices.
At the trial, she confidently testified that she saw Nadia Simons’s black car at the scene of the accident, driving at dangerously high speeds and probably under the influence of alcohol. This occurred after the launch of Carnarvon’s first Midsomer Vinae wine, to which Simons was invited. Elspeth was unkindly intruding on her friend and Jessica’s mother, Judy Tyler, and telling her that Jessica’s death was caused by Nadia Simons, who is known for her drunk-driving. The Carnarvons had invited her to their wine presentation, possibly to distract from her.

•Right at the beginning, we see a house on a river with the inscription ‘Empson Playhouse’. A man comes out of the front door with a poster in his hand and hangs it on the wall of the house next to the entrance.On the beige background, which appears to have yellowed, is a tall, black-haired pirate holding a sabre in his right hand. It says “The Midsomer Mummers – The Pirates of Penzance – Centenary Charity Concert – 5th – 8th May”.
The film location for the Midsomer Mummers theatre has been The Mill in Sonning, Berkshire, for a hundred years. Instead of “Empson Playhouse”, the building actually says simply “The Mill”. This is because the former mill is actually used for theatre performances.

•Three episodes of Midsomer Murders are about treasure and its theft. They come from three different eras: The Anglo-Saxon treasure of Gorse Meadow from the Battle of Hallows Beck between the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings (14×05: The Sleeper under the Hill) and the Tudor hoard of Milson (18×05: Saints and Sinners) – both treasure heists taking place in Midsomer in the early 21st century.

•We enter Bantling Hall with Tom Barnaby and Angela Hartley, because among the large gentlemen in oil on canvas is Thomas Bantling. One of the men of whom the lady speaks only with contempt. He fought as an Englishman in the War of Independence, but not for his King, but for the colonies that later became the United States of America.
