Ps We don't understand the Dutch as wel, Ron

There were a few other traditional things that come up in this episode, Dark Autumn.   The pub game of Aunt Sally probably dates back to the Civil War when King Charles set up court at Oxford.

The music being played by the murderer is The Creep by Ken Macintosh; the music at the ending in the ballroom is Tangerine played by Jimmy Dorsey.  The Plough pub kept its real name and is up the road at Great Haseley as seen here, and is a very nice pub to visit. The Goodman's Land village town was Dorchester on Thames.

For  those who missed this episode ----Aunt Sally is a game where a 6 inch target known as a dolly is put atop a post known as the iron, two and a half feet above the ground.

A player then has to stand 10 yards away behind a line known as an oche and using 6 sticks or batons, has to knock Aunt Sally, the dolly, off her perch with an underarm throw without the stick hitting the iron to get a point.

And here you can hear The Creep that the murderer plays waiting to strike their next victim; a bit of a clue in this episode.
