Headcanon--Troy & Jones
//“In Murder of Innocence it is revealed that the murder of youngster Daniel Denning was Jones' first murder case as a Police Constable. His sympathy lay with Daniel's dad, who owns the Binwell Estate. The murder took place in 1994 which meant between that time and 2005 meaning that he'd been a PC for twelve years by the time of his first meeting with DCI Tom Barnaby in The House in the Woods and perhaps beyond 1994.” Midsomer Murders Wiki https://midsomermurders.fandom.com/wiki/Ben_Jones Sooooo…..I’ve been slowly starting to check out Midsomer episodes that don’t have Troy in them. While poking around the wiki, I found this tidbit on Jones and his timeline. Now I headcanon that Troy, in “The Killings at Badger Drift” was a very freshly minted Detective Sargent. From his interactions with Barnaby, I guess that this was probably one of the first major cases they had worked on together. This was in 1997 and, if my math is right, Troy was probably around 24 (thus fitting the constant reminders that he is VERY young for his title and his prickliness at everyone commenting on that). Timeline for Troy is that he joined the police as a uniform when he was 18 (roughly around 1990/1991 in main canon). I also headcanon that, until he was promoted and transferred to Middlesbrough, Troy never left Causton. That means it is logical to assume that Troy and Jones were Police Constables together until Troy started shooting up through the ranks, fitting his more driven and ambitious personality. At the very least, they both knew each other and, eventually, ended up both being Barnaby’s Detective Sargent at different times of their lives.
Honestly the best version of Hamlet was that one Midsomer Murders episode that was a thinly veiled procedural detective version of the play.
Highlights include:
Hamlet is an Oxford prep kid
His name is “Ian”
Horatio is Hamlet’s best friend from uni and he bonds with Ophelia over being in unrequited love with Hamlet (like, explicitly stated)
Ophelia and Horatio became BFFs and work together to try to protect Hamlet while he investigates??
The Mousetrap is just a local community theatre performance of Hamlet (it’s a bit on the nose)
Laertes is not Ophelia’s brother but does have a crush on her (uhh...)
Horatio tackles Laertes while he’s trying to shoot Hamlet
GERTRUDE KILLS CLAUDIUS
Fucking iconic. They had the courage to GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANTED.
Oh and Hamlet also joined the illuminati-style, cult-like “Free Masons,” who were also involved in his father’s death, but that’s expected from a Midsomer Murders episode.
Still waiting for one of the British streaming apps to update with the newest Midsomer season 😒 will probably need to wait until the season has aired 😶
I miss counting bodies lol
