Did you know
- TriviaRhythm Festival, held at Twinwood Arena, Clapham in Bedfordshire, provided the backdrop to the music event. Compére Mike Read made several announcements from the Rhythm Festival stage that made no sense and were in fact filmed for 'Midsomer Murders'.
- GoofsBoth the "Axeman" and DCI Barnaby refer to the electric charge being activated by the "Axeman's" Wah-Wah pedal. When they show the pedal it is a standard effects pedal, not a Wah-Wah which has a distinctively different shape. It is possible the pedal is an "Auto-Wah" but no old time blues player would ever use one, preferring the standard "Wah.
- Quotes

Featured review
This is a big, crazy, all guns blazing episode.
One of the craziest episodes of Midsomer imaginable, there is nothing subtle at all about this episode, the characters are huge, killings are huge, and the ideas, and revelations, even the guest cast are something special, James Cosmo and Suzi Quattro.
What it lacks in subtlety, it makes up for in story and dramatic exuberance. I don't think anyone could make the case for this one being boring. Tom is in great spirits, he's very nostalgic amongst his idols, Philip Madoc is great as his old boss, but the whole episode belongs to James Cosmo, who is absolutely terrific, he commands the screen and exudes charisma, and he's in superb company here.
It had me fooled. 9/10
