I really like this show but I'm concerned. The population of the village is maybe a couple hundred people, Every episode they kill one off. 10 episodes a series, 11 series, that's 110 people or more as there were a few doubles or triples and a couple long series. That's worse die off than the black Death. I think if I lived there I'd move. An awful lot of maniacs running around. Other than that its an absolutely great english mystery show. The padre is a dear you cant help but love and his supporting crew are also iconic english classics. The only one I really don't like is Mrs. McCarthy. She is such an unlikable person . A 2 faced witch. She gossips and picks out other peoples faults and broadcasts them to the whole village. She bad mouths people who think they are her friend then tells everybody she didn't do it. I don't see how even with the patience of Job the Father can stand her. The other thing that bothers me is the cops. How many times does the Padre save them from convicting the wrong person and they still jump on him for helping. Are they just evil like Mrs. McCarthy or are they just stupid and egotistical? Either way Kembleford is not a good place to live!
