Midwinter Murders is the finale of the third season of Iris Wildthyme from Big Finish. Written by George Mann. Guest stars Stewart Bevan as this reunites him with Katy Manning (Iris) as he was in Katy's swansong as Jo, The Green Death, with Bevan's character there Cliff Jones being the reason for Jo's departure. Midwinter Murders is a spoof on the TV series Midsomer Murders with the suffix somer having the same pronunciation as summer which is a season like winter. Reading from TARDIS Wiki, the character of Inspector Nettles played by Bevan is a reference to Midsomer Murders' original lead actor John Nettles while the Midwinters Murders character Sergeant Spartan (Scott Handcock) is a play on Midsomer Murders character Sergeant Troy. I personally only have seen I think a couple of episodes of Midsommer Murders but Midwinter Murders feels like a pretty good spoof of it. Moments of this episode includes someone being in two places at once especially since one of these places was with him being dead! Pretty enjoyable and very unexpected how the resolution. However the big shocker comes at the end with the cliffhanger one I could not feel coming.
