Midsomer Murders: A Picture of Innocence

Back in November Michael Rasso opened the Film Photography Project (FPP) Podcast internet radio show  (http://filmphotographyproject.com/podcast/2013/11/film-photography-podcast-episode-90-%E2%80%93-november-1-2013) with the now infamous “Film vs. Digital” sound byte from  Midsomer Murders  (A Picture of Innocence - Season 10, Episode 6). This is a BBC detective drama that has been watched on TV in the UK for many years and is available here online.  I watched it on Netflix but here is the Acorn Media link if you’re interested in watching and don’t have Netflix.

This show was highlighted on the FPP podcast of course because of the hilarious battle between the gallant forces of film photography and the evil evangelists of digital photography which forms the backdrop for the otherwise typical and always entertaining British murder mystery. 

For a camera buff, especially film cameras, this is the stuff great evenings are made of and I highly recommend it to you. The show remains objective regarding the film vs digital issue but does at times portray the digital folks as somewhat sinister. I won’t spoil the outcome for those who might actually watch the episode except to say I knew the murderer from the very beginning. Maybe I have watched and read too many murder mysteries!
