- TriviaRichard Bradshaw who plays Peter slim is also a stuntman and has performed stunts in 5 episodes of Midsommer murders as well as doubling for Hugh Jackman and Pierce Brosnan he was also a stunt performer in Messiah 2 vengeance is mine which also starred Neil Dudgeon as DI Warren.
- GoofsThroughout the episode, Beltane is given as 4 May. It is actually 1 May (although fertility rites such as The Stag were often performed the night of 30 April, sometimes known as Walpurgisnacht). In addition, while some Beltane fertility rites were, indeed, incorporated into the modern Easter, that festival is more generally descended from Eostre, the festival of the Spring Equinox.
- Quotes
[Reverend Grigor has gatecrashed a Cider Festival at the local brewery and is preaching fervently about the evils of alcohol. He even accuses the vicar of being a fornicator]
Samuel Quested: Tell me, Norman. If "the other" is so wrong, how come you've got six children of your own?
[crowd laughs]
Samuel Quested: Six we know of, that is.
[more laughter]
Rev Norman Grigor: I can assure you, Samuel Quested, that I made those children to glorify the Lord. The act itself gave me no pleasure.
Chloe Baker: I'm sure your wife would say the same.
[uproarious laughter]
So, a bunch of fat, ugly, drunken neanderthals dress up with antlers and go "a courting" to the neighboring village. Though apparently in the one village some of the local sluts actually welcome the attention there were also a couple attempts at outright rape (including the leading "stag" offering up his own daughter). If that is what passes for local culture I say evacuate the few decent folks and just napalm the rest. Who scripts this crap?
