Trivia
When the detectives are introduced at the door as 'Barnaby and Jones', American viewers might find it a mildly amusing reference to a 1970s TV detective; though the reference may be entirely unintentional.

Quotes
DS Ben Jones: Black and white. I suppose that makes it erotica rather than porn. Very tasteful. A bit of extra-curricular photography. Never realized they had such adventurous sex in those days.
DCI Tom Barnaby: Ooh, that's when it was invented, Jones, in the sixties. Do you know nothing?

I'm guessing all the regular staff were on holiday

This was the weirdest episode and was just awful on so many levels. The casting was bad, the acting was bad, the writing was awful and the direction made me feel like I was watching a community play. If you need flashbacks to make sure people get it then you need to quit.

I don't think the writer of this episode understands women and how to write them. Every female character was just useless and bland.

Sobbing woman one: "I don't feel like the real me, I am so confused!" Women 2: "have you tried a makeover? Let's get you a new dress!"

Better writing and more intrigue might have saved this mess.
