Happy New Year!
Tonight I watched the first Midsomer Murders episode with Jones. He showed up as a uniformed constable, and Barnaby asked him who he was. Later Barnaby told him to wear a suit and tie, to work temporarily with him on the CID, and at the end said he would put in a word for him, as Jones had applied to the CID twice already. I'm not sure what happened to Scott; they may have skipped an episode or several. This one involved a "haunted" house!
