John Nettles: DCI Tom Barnaby

Quotes 

• Joyce Barnaby : It was good fun when we used to play tennis.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : No, it was not. Rose-tinted spectacles there, Joyce.

  Joyce Barnaby : I loved that club. Don't know why we ever left.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Well, uh, apart from the snobbery and the extortionate fees, there was also the small matter of me arresting the treasurer for murdering his mistress.

  Joyce Barnaby : Details, details.

• [Dr Bullard is examining the body of Alistair Kingslake] 

  Dr Bullard : Beaten to death with a one iron. What a way to go. This hole's famous, you know. I played it once - got a quadruple bogey. It's known as Crisp's Folly.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Crisp's what?

  Dr Bullard : Folly. Chap called Crisp lost his house on a bet, playing this hole. It's got a ninety-degree dogleg, you see; you take a driver from the tee and you're liable to end up in the jungle, but with an iron you might not get a shot at the green.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : [sarcastically]  Well, that's absolutely fascinating, George, but I don't speak golf.

• Eileen Fountain : What was it you wanted again?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : I wanted a word with Colin, if I may.

  Eileen Fountain : Colin? What about?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Oh, it's nothing very much.

  Eileen Fountain : Well, he just popped out as you saw.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Ah, yes, well, he can't have gone very far, can he, so I'll take a look.

  Eileen Fountain : He might be feein' the pig. I'll take you.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : No, don't you trouble yourself. Don't worry. I'll follow my nose.
