1
00:00:15,382 --> 00:00:16,249
Hey, maniacs.

2
00:00:16,249 --> 00:00:17,684
Hey, maniacs.

3
00:00:17,684 --> 00:00:21,287
Welcome to Devil hooey.

4
00:00:21,388 --> 00:00:22,489
This is so exciting.

5
00:00:22,489 --> 00:00:23,156
We have New men.

6
00:00:23,156 --> 00:00:26,159
Summer New Midsummer Episode number

7
00:00:26,159 --> 00:00:29,162
one, Season 24.

8
00:00:29,229 --> 00:00:30,864
The Devil's Work.

9
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:33,666
The Devil's The Devil's the World.

10
00:00:33,666 --> 00:00:34,834
Now, this is a mini.

11
00:00:34,834 --> 00:00:37,303
It's a mini.
Which means it's an introduction.

12
00:00:37,303 --> 00:00:40,306
You listen to this
before you watch the episode.

13
00:00:40,407 --> 00:00:43,510
We are not going to spoil it
like we usually do in an episode.

14
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:45,845
This is spoiler free, spoiler free.

15
00:00:45,845 --> 00:00:49,382
You listen to this,
then you watch the episode and then later

16
00:00:49,382 --> 00:00:53,820
in January we will have a full length
episode about this episode of midsummer.

17
00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:55,288
I said episode a lot. Yes.

18
00:00:55,288 --> 00:00:59,392
And what we're going to do is teach you
how to watch like a maniac. Yes.

19
00:00:59,592 --> 00:01:03,596
Give you some clues
as to the things that we picked out

20
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:05,965
as we were watching it like a maniac.

21
00:01:05,965 --> 00:01:10,570
Boy, there are a lot of websites
I have to do research on that.

22
00:01:10,637 --> 00:01:13,273
There are a couple of actors
that you should take note of.

23
00:01:13,273 --> 00:01:17,577
Yes. First is Peter Serafinowicz,
who plays Lucien Shier.

24
00:01:17,577 --> 00:01:20,580
Well, in this episode, he's
kind of the main character.

25
00:01:20,814 --> 00:01:24,250
Yes, you might recognize them
if you've ever seen Shaun of the Dead.

26
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:27,153
Sarah's first comment was,
I hope he doesn't die.

27
00:01:27,153 --> 00:01:30,156
He has a great voice. I love his voice.

28
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:34,060
He is the voice of death in the new audio
books of the Terry

29
00:01:34,060 --> 00:01:35,762
Pratchett Discworld books. Yes.

30
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:38,364
And I'm like, I'm
like listening for death in the books.

31
00:01:38,364 --> 00:01:41,267
Like,
I know there's a death part coming up.

32
00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:42,869
And I get to hear his voice.

33
00:01:42,869 --> 00:01:45,338
Yeah, He plays the roommate in.

34
00:01:45,338 --> 00:01:47,407
Shaun of the Dead, the corporate just.

35
00:01:47,407 --> 00:01:48,708
Fantastic.

36
00:01:48,708 --> 00:01:51,144
The other actor
that you should keep an eye out for

37
00:01:51,144 --> 00:01:54,013
is Sarah Woodward,
and she plays Ursula Shire.

38
00:01:54,013 --> 00:01:56,783
Well,
and you'll recognize her from everything,

39
00:01:56,783 --> 00:01:58,785
though you might not be able
to put your finger on her.

40
00:01:58,785 --> 00:02:01,254
So let us fill you in on
where you've seen her.

41
00:02:01,254 --> 00:02:02,889
She's in the queens of mystery.

42
00:02:02,889 --> 00:02:04,290
She's one of the and.

43
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:04,891
One of three.

44
00:02:04,891 --> 00:02:09,629
And yeah,
she's the secretary and professor of tea.

45
00:02:09,662 --> 00:02:13,600
Yes, she has kind of a cool
bouffant hairdo in that. Yes.

46
00:02:13,733 --> 00:02:19,405
And she was in the version of the Pale
Horse that had Rufus Sewell in it. Yes.

47
00:02:19,506 --> 00:02:20,573
When she was.

48
00:02:20,573 --> 00:02:22,709
I think,
the best version of The Pale Horse.

49
00:02:22,709 --> 00:02:23,510
But that's my.

50
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:25,411
Pretty good version of The Pale Horse.

51
00:02:25,411 --> 00:02:30,116
So look for Lucien and Ursula,
those two characters,

52
00:02:30,116 --> 00:02:31,751
you'll recognize those actors, I bet.

53
00:02:31,751 --> 00:02:36,256
Solid episode I'm going to tell
and I'm not going to give a rating

54
00:02:36,256 --> 00:02:37,790
or anything like that.

55
00:02:37,790 --> 00:02:43,363
But this is a solid out of the Gates
episode. Yep.

56
00:02:43,463 --> 00:02:46,065
It's the first episode of a season
doesn't quite hit the mark.

57
00:02:46,065 --> 00:02:48,268
This one absolutely does. It has.

58
00:02:48,268 --> 00:02:52,505
Not only does it have a gurt,
it also has a manor house.

59
00:02:52,505 --> 00:02:55,675
Yes, it has both a country home
and a happy home.

60
00:02:55,708 --> 00:03:01,748
And boy,
some fantastic, really bad art. Yes.

61
00:03:01,814 --> 00:03:03,416
Lots to look at in the background.

62
00:03:03,416 --> 00:03:05,552
Yes, so much to look at.

63
00:03:05,552 --> 00:03:09,489
Are you ready for our list of watch
like a maniac? Yes.

64
00:03:09,556 --> 00:03:11,858
We have eight questions.

65
00:03:11,858 --> 00:03:13,393
I want. Things to look for.

66
00:03:13,393 --> 00:03:15,895
And usually have fewer than that.
So eight is awesome.

67
00:03:15,895 --> 00:03:17,463
Plus a bonus one.

68
00:03:17,463 --> 00:03:22,569
I said to Sarah,
there is going to be lots to talk.

69
00:03:22,635 --> 00:03:23,570
About.

70
00:03:23,570 --> 00:03:27,140
So. I could narrow it down
to less than eight plus.

71
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:28,808
But one bonus. Definitely.

72
00:03:28,808 --> 00:03:31,644
We definitely had some some good stuff.

73
00:03:31,644 --> 00:03:33,079
So I'm going to go through these.

74
00:03:33,079 --> 00:03:35,348
This is eight things to look for.

75
00:03:35,348 --> 00:03:38,318
If you want to watch like a maniac,
they'll also be in the show notes.

76
00:03:38,318 --> 00:03:40,920
So you don't have to try to write them
down as I read them out.

77
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,555
And you want to watch like a maniac?

78
00:03:42,555 --> 00:03:44,224
You can if you want, but here we go.

79
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:47,293
Number one, Where do the gnomes live?

80
00:03:47,293 --> 00:03:48,861
In the rose Garden.

81
00:03:48,861 --> 00:03:50,463
And you're laughing because.

82
00:03:50,463 --> 00:03:53,700
Sarah
and I both immediately went, What is that?

83
00:03:53,766 --> 00:03:55,635
Pause it

84
00:03:55,735 --> 00:03:57,670
before
Mark had to be so fast on the remote.

85
00:03:57,670 --> 00:03:59,606
Posit. Rewind play.

86
00:03:59,606 --> 00:04:02,809
Okay, so that's number one
where gnomes live in the Rose Garden.

87
00:04:02,809 --> 00:04:04,877
Where did the gnomes live? In the Rose
Garden.

88
00:04:04,877 --> 00:04:09,449
Number two,
Why are there so many towels in the pub?

89
00:04:09,515 --> 00:04:10,550
This has a pub.

90
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:14,120
It's not an aptly named pub,
but it has an interesting pub.

91
00:04:14,220 --> 00:04:17,457
And because. Of these.
Odd number of towels.

92
00:04:17,523 --> 00:04:24,497
Number three, who owns Fleur's
famous boobs

93
00:04:24,597 --> 00:04:25,832
Floor is awesome.

94
00:04:25,832 --> 00:04:27,367
In this episode as usual.

95
00:04:27,367 --> 00:04:30,370
Annette Badland, friend of the show.

96
00:04:30,536 --> 00:04:31,471
How are you saying?

97
00:04:31,471 --> 00:04:32,639
I love saying that.

98
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:35,642
I can't believe how good she is
in this episode.

99
00:04:35,642 --> 00:04:37,043
It may be one of her best.

100
00:04:37,043 --> 00:04:39,912
Yeah, she's priceless. Yeah. Fantastic.

101
00:04:39,912 --> 00:04:40,780
So that's number three.

102
00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:43,082
Who owns Flora's famous Boobs? Yes.

103
00:04:43,082 --> 00:04:46,185
Number four, who has a topless mug shot?

104
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:47,453
I noticed this.

105
00:04:47,453 --> 00:04:50,456
And Sarah was like, That's weird.

106
00:04:50,523 --> 00:04:52,525
There's so much to look at in
the cop shop.

107
00:04:52,525 --> 00:04:55,428
So much in the cop shop, including.

108
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:59,699
And Sarah didn't mention this,
but it's almost like there's a

109
00:04:59,732 --> 00:05:04,237
another older DCI and a younger yes.

110
00:05:04,337 --> 00:05:06,706
At the desks next to.

111
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:07,440
Barney.

112
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,876
So that's the parallel episode.

113
00:05:09,876 --> 00:05:12,512
That's the future of Midsomer. Right.
They're, like, stacked.

114
00:05:12,512 --> 00:05:14,881
Like it's

115
00:05:14,881 --> 00:05:17,684
the wee ginger Man is winter.

116
00:05:17,684 --> 00:05:21,354
And I think there's multiple universes.

117
00:05:21,421 --> 00:05:23,489
Once here.

118
00:05:23,489 --> 00:05:24,724
So that's the fourth question.

119
00:05:24,724 --> 00:05:26,793
Who has a topless mug shot? Yes.

120
00:05:26,793 --> 00:05:27,794
Number five.

121
00:05:27,794 --> 00:05:30,630
Was that the first midsummer fart joke?

122
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:34,634
I did a search on my notes
for the word fart,

123
00:05:34,734 --> 00:05:40,940
and I believe as far as I could tell,

124
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,743
the first midsummer fart joke

125
00:05:43,743 --> 00:05:47,046
takes place in this episode.

126
00:05:47,113 --> 00:05:50,750
I can't believe
you searched your notes for fart.

127
00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:54,420
I did, because all my notes are digital
so I can search them.

128
00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:55,888
Very. Isn't that handy?

129
00:05:55,888 --> 00:05:57,357
Yes. So that was number five.

130
00:05:57,357 --> 00:05:59,525
Is that the first midsummer fart joke?

131
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:00,360
See if you can find it.

132
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,963
Number six, who has the longest tube?

133
00:06:04,030 --> 00:06:05,331
It's a long one. Yeah.

134
00:06:05,331 --> 00:06:10,703
It is a ginormous, thick, heavy tube.

135
00:06:10,770 --> 00:06:12,004
You're getting a little raunchy.

136
00:06:12,004 --> 00:06:14,640
I am. Talking about sick. Two.

137
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,676
So that's number six.
Who has the longest tube?

138
00:06:16,676 --> 00:06:19,312
Number seven, Who is the best?

139
00:06:19,312 --> 00:06:21,481
Crafty terrorist?

140
00:06:21,481 --> 00:06:23,649
Yes, there's a crafty terrorist.

141
00:06:23,649 --> 00:06:24,751
Crafty terrorist.

142
00:06:24,751 --> 00:06:29,222
Number eight, Where is Ulysses
and the Barnaby's living room?

143
00:06:29,455 --> 00:06:33,493
Yes. Find Ulysses in the Barnaby's
living room. Yes.

144
00:06:33,493 --> 00:06:34,927
And here's your bonus.

145
00:06:34,927 --> 00:06:36,496
Yeah. Number nine.

146
00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:39,499
What's Lucy into? Favorite cutlery.

147
00:06:39,632 --> 00:06:43,302
I know this
because I pointed it out twice. Yes.

148
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:45,071
ASEAN's favorite cutlery.

149
00:06:45,071 --> 00:06:48,841
Lucy is the character
played by Peter Serafinowicz. Yes.

150
00:06:49,008 --> 00:06:50,576
What's his favorite cutlery?

151
00:06:50,576 --> 00:06:55,515
So those are your eight and your bonus
ninth watch like a maniac point.

152
00:06:55,615 --> 00:06:57,049
Now see how many you can answer.

153
00:06:57,049 --> 00:07:02,555
I have to warn you that Betty is in this
episode and actually does very well.

154
00:07:02,555 --> 00:07:07,460
I'm very pleased with the actress
and she appears standing on a chair.

155
00:07:07,460 --> 00:07:12,064
First of all, she is not now a you know.

156
00:07:12,131 --> 00:07:13,566
It's the first time she's on screen.

157
00:07:13,566 --> 00:07:15,001
She's standing on a chair.

158
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:17,970
And Mark goes, my gosh, Betty is huge.

159
00:07:18,037 --> 00:07:19,672
And I said, She's on a chair.

160
00:07:19,672 --> 00:07:21,607
And we laughed and laughed.

161
00:07:21,607 --> 00:07:23,009
Yes. Obviously you knew she was on it.

162
00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:27,046
Yes. She's not taller
than everyone in midsummer.

163
00:07:27,146 --> 00:07:30,716
But the actress who obviously took a break

164
00:07:30,783 --> 00:07:35,188
during COVID is now back
and I think did a fantastic job.

165
00:07:35,221 --> 00:07:36,889
Yes, she has more lines
and she's ever had.

166
00:07:36,889 --> 00:07:38,791
Yes, she she has.

167
00:07:38,791 --> 00:07:40,026
She gets to leave the house.

168
00:07:40,026 --> 00:07:42,495
What's the word I'm looking
for? Personality.

169
00:07:42,495 --> 00:07:45,465
Yeah, she does.
She does. She's coming into her own.

170
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:47,834
And a lot of people
online have been mentioning her.

171
00:07:47,834 --> 00:07:51,270
I just think I think she does a great job.

172
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:51,771
She does.

173
00:07:51,771 --> 00:07:52,705
She does a really good job.
