1 00:02:31,276 --> 00:02:33,320 Excuse me. 2 00:02:34,696 --> 00:02:36,823 Hello, Vanessa. Miriam. 3 00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:38,950 Are you OK? Yeah. 4 00:02:38,950 --> 00:02:41,078 Sure?

Your notion that Midsomer Barrow 12 00:03:06,812 --> 00:03:11,316 contains a Celtic ritual spear and chalice is simply fanciful. 13 00:03:11,316 --> 00:03:15,237 Are you saying that the dig at the barrow never took place? 14 00:03:15,237 --> 00:03:21,076 As an academic archaeologist, I have to base my assumptions on DOCUMENTED finds. 15 00:03:21,076 --> 00:03:23,912 I don't have the luxury of fiction. Fiction?! 16 00:03:23,912 --> 00:03:26,707 Hello, Gareth. Good evening, Vanessa. 17 00:03:28,083 --> 00:03:33,130 This is better than Indiana Jones. I must be returning to Oxford.

No, thanks. 21 00:03:54,776 --> 00:03:56,945 I'm off out later. 22 00:03:56,945 --> 00:03:59,072 Vanessa? 23 00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:01,158 Yep. 24 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,009 What do you reckon? She's got you right round her little finger. 25 00:04:19,009 --> 00:04:21,178 That's what I reckon. 26 00:04:21,178 --> 00:04:23,638 What's wrong with a lass your own age? 27 00:04:27,476 --> 00:04:30,771 Son, if there's one thing I do know about, it's women. 28 00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:33,231 Yes, Dad. I KNOW. 29 00:04:44,242 --> 00:04:46,411 GARETH: So, what's it about? 30 00:04:46,411 --> 00:04:49,706 The mythology associated with Midsomer Barrow 31 00:04:49,706 --> 00:04:54,961 where the Celts use symbols and rituals to connect with the spirits of nature. 32 00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:57,339 You mean it's a load of heavy twaddle? 33 00:04:57,339 --> 00:05:01,468 Well, there's no way my mother will allow you to use the Barrow. 34 00:05:01,468 --> 00:05:04,930 What do you want to use it for? The Summer Solstice festival. 35 00:05:04,930 --> 00:05:07,307 The longest day and shortest night. 36 00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:10,685 Isn't that what the shindig on the common's about? Yes. 37 00:05:10,685 --> 00:05:13,855 But the Barrow was built to celebrate the Solstice. 38 00:05:15,023 --> 00:05:18,485 A unique moment occurs when a flaming arrow shot into the sun 39 00:05:18,485 --> 00:05:22,155 can release a regenerative power. 40 00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:25,909 My father was the archaeologist who first explored it. 41 00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:29,663 David seems to think it's some sort of pagan Viagra. 42 00:05:34,042 --> 00:05:38,421 So, what's wrong with having the Solstice festival at the Barrow? 43 00:05:38,421 --> 00:05:40,549 My father died there. 44 00:05:40,549 --> 00:05:42,592 Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. 45 00:05:45,053 --> 00:05:48,640 There's your rustic swain, waiting patiently. 46 00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:53,270 Good night, Gareth. 47 00:05:59,901 --> 00:06:01,987 Harry. 48 00:06:05,156 --> 00:06:06,533 HORN BEEPS 49 00:06:06,533 --> 00:06:08,827 Flash git! 50 00:06:18,753 --> 00:06:22,173 Gareth didn't buy one.

It's not fair to Anne. 53 00:06:34,352 --> 00:06:36,521 Maybe I'll ask her myself. 54 00:06:36,521 --> 00:06:38,523 David, we have to get a divorce. 55 00:06:39,649 --> 00:06:43,445 I'm going to see a solicitor. No, Miriam. 56 00:06:44,487 --> 00:06:46,573 It's no ordinary night. 57 00:06:48,116 --> 00:06:50,160 Wait and see. 58 00:06:52,162 --> 00:06:54,247 Oh, thank you(!) 59 00:06:57,751 --> 00:07:01,046 And what delights does the day hold in store for you, love? 60 00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:03,757 I thought I'd go to that talk at the library. 61 00:07:03,757 --> 00:07:06,259 Is that the one Cully mentioned? Yes. 62 00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:08,803 Arthurian legend. History or myth. 63 00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:12,807 Camelot comes to Causton. 64 00:07:12,807 --> 00:07:15,060 Don't mock. No, I'm not.

I like her style. 73 00:08:10,031 --> 00:08:13,618 I'm considering going in to business with her. 74 00:08:13,618 --> 00:08:17,664 Just not sure what the romance with Harry Green is all about. 75 00:08:17,664 --> 00:08:20,291 Harry's a nice boy. 76 00:08:21,751 --> 00:08:24,087 Like his father? 77 00:08:26,047 --> 00:08:29,426 She's not showing much interest in the mill house. 78 00:08:29,426 --> 00:08:32,178 Is she using him to pull a fast one on the tenancy? 79 00:08:32,178 --> 00:08:34,681 We're not going to evict Nathan and Harry. 80 00:08:34,681 --> 00:08:39,185 If the mill's a success, it might be a good idea to have room to expand. 81 00:08:39,185 --> 00:08:41,146 Vanessa and I could do well. 82 00:08:41,146 --> 00:08:45,233 I won't turn my friends out of their homes.

Of course. 116 00:12:12,357 --> 00:12:14,400 I've been thinking... 117 00:12:15,526 --> 00:12:18,821 ..rather than you raising money to buy the mill... 118 00:12:19,948 --> 00:12:22,617 ..maybe we should be partners instead. 119 00:12:22,617 --> 00:12:26,955 I don't want a partner.

An Iron Age ceremonial spearhead and chalice. 246 00:23:07,709 --> 00:23:12,214 Three thousand years old.
