I agree the motive was pathetic and I was disappointed with that, but the rest was good - very Agatha Christie.The trouble was that for me it seemed like it had just been done as an idea as a similar thing happened in Endeavour last week (ie trapped in an old house together). Which btw I was watching on my own downstairs and when they found a body and the girl screamed, the lights went off in my living room. Turns out I left a 4 year old playing with the lights and he put them on a timer earlier. It was momentarily terrifying! 😂2025 decluttering: 5,544 🌟🥉🌟💐🏅🏅🌟🥈🏅🌟🏅💐💎🌟🏅🏆🌟🏅🌟🌟2025 use up challenge: 513🥉🥈🥇💎🏆 👑Big kitchen declutter challenge 143/1502025 decluttering goals I Use up Challenge: 🥉365 🥈750 🥇1,000 💎2,000 🏆 3,000 👑 8,000 I 🥉12 🥈26 🥇52 💎 100 🏆 250 👑 5005

Ooh, that would have been scary 😱! I haven't seen that Endeavour, think I might have it recorded, so that will now seem like it's been done before when I watch it!
I've thought of another random fact whilst on the subject of Jonathan Creek actors: Stuart Milligan has been in Midsomer Murders before - he played a man who was very excited about the prospect of being whipped by his horsey dominatrix in "Country Matters" 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
