Aesthetic and Bizarre Murders
Already watched: Pilot, S01, 07×03, 07×06, 09×01, 09×02, 09×03, 09×04, 09×05, 09×06, 09×07, 15×01, 23×01. As well as information that I have already compiled.
Note: There isn’t much to discover just yet – essays will be published gradually from late May. Until autumn, think of this more as a gateway than a library.

My All-Time Number One
- Otto Bentham: “Five Degrees to the Left” – Circles of a target are painted onto the lawn in white, secured at the bullseye with croquet hoops, and then pelted with bottles of red wine using a reconstructed Roman catapult. (08×06: Hidden Depths)
Other
- Harvey Crane: A steel wire is strung across the road, cleanly severing his head as he rides his motorcycle – which then crashes into Barnaby’s windscreen. (08×08: Midsomer Rhapsody)
- Ludo DeQuetteville: A gargoyle is knocked off the manor house. Ludo looks up at the falling gargoyle – and then lies on the ground as if the gargoyle were his head. (15×01: The Dark Rider)
