"This is one of my 10 faves from the Thomas Barnaby episodes. Its mystery is complex and winding to watch. Everyone is involved! My favorite moments are in the fishing village with its wide range of characters. It keeps a local charm to friends, dining and the English seaside peppered with murder. Always elegant and smart...."

At about 18:17 Inspector Barnaby refers to the poem by Rudyard Kipling, "Dane-geld", and the famous line, "once you have paid him the Dane-geld/ You never get rid of the Dane". Dane-geld (also spelled Danegeld) was money paid to Vikings and others in the Middle Ages to keep them from raiding England, now what one would call protection money or blackmail.
