Diagnosis Murder is renowned for the number of Van Dyke family members appearing - I think the record is the series finale, The Blair Nurse Project, where six Van Dyke family members appeared (Dick, his son Barry, and four of Dick's grandchildren).
In this episode, Inheritance of Death, only two appear (Dick and his son Barry), but Dick plays five characters - the regular character Dr Mark Sloan, and four extended family members: Jonathan Nash, J. Edison Nash, Judith Nash, Julian Nash. In fact at the end there was a special credit sequence for Dick's performance of these four characters.
Not a bad episode, with Diagnosis Murder finding its feet (this was only the fourth episode of season 1). Diagnosis Murder is what it is, a bit of light hearted fun that's not chasing Emmy votes, and that's fine with me.
