Apologies for dragging this programme up again, but it's being repeated on ITV1. Since I didn't watch it all before, I'm glad of another chance - maybe some other tfm members will be too.The first half was shown at 1600 on Friday (and I regret it still isn't possible to catch it up via the internet), but the second and final episode is at the same time on Monday coming (26 July).
It's quite worth watching for the howlers, like of course the "Masonic Dagger" (where's mine? I never got one); the definitely funny handshake the WM gave the Sergeant* (tickle my hand like that, Petal, and you'll have to marry me!); and the Tyler in full regalia (only a MM, but so what), while barring entry by a character to a non-Open Lodge Room containing the WM, also in full regalia, who was apparently rehearsing the Third Degree. He had the book open, and still got the words wrong (that lovely "Taggart" bit in the Obl) but as it was a red book, maybe Taylors don't use so many words? - perish the thought! Oh, there's endless fun to be had! :hehe:
* DS Jones confessed to Barnaby that he had at one time been a Mason (which will now alllow him to infiltrate the Lodge), as he thought it might accelerate his promotion. Significantly, he did not keep up his membership: perhaps he discovered it didn't bestow instant advancement (and he's still only a DS!)
Anyway, to remind you again, it's on Monday afternoon - ITV1.
