The Madame Blanc Mysteries - Season 4, Episode 1 - March 20, 2025 - "Beach Club"

There is a businessman staying at the hotel in town that goes missing - only to be found tied up and near death, alone in a boat out at sea....by none other than our Jeremy and Judith, while they are enjoying a day out riding their watercrafts!

They get him back to shore, and it just so happens a doctor is conveniently nearby and takes the man away to his "private hospital"

And then they report the incident to the police.

Later, we find out that the man had died, and now there was to be a murder investigation, so Madame Blanc gets called in to help. She puts all the clues together and gets VERY suspicious about the circumstances... especially when at one point, Jeremy chokes on an olive, and Judith tries to flag the "doctor" over to help and he completes ignores her and drives away. Don't worry, though, it is Steve who winds up saving Jeremy, who is more than grateful!

The silly side story involves the pub's local wine supplier scamming Jeremy and Judith by re-labeling cheap wine as fancy wine. Uncle Patrick and Gloria have their suspicions and try to warn them, but they are relaxing at the beach club at the time and want to hear none of it.

So Uncle Patrick and Gloria do some sleuthing of their own and are able to set a trap which reveals the scam in the end. And of course, when it is mentioned around Jeremy and Judith, they are clueless, ha ha.

The Madame Blanc Mysteries - Christmas Special - Dec 24, 2024

Well Hello! I'm back! Got a "Black Friday" special price on the Acorn channel and am back in business watching Madame Blanc!

Early on in this Christmas episode while the characters are preparing for the festivities, a local puppeteer is mysteriously murdered while giving a show for kids by the beach. So Jean is called and must drop everything to unravel THAT mystery.

Meanwhile, Jeremy and Judith have been given a rather silly side story, in my opinion. They each have been told by their own friends that the priest who had married them 30 years ago hadn't been a real priest and therefore their marriage isn't valid. (Could that actually happen? Wouldn't it have been registered as legal and wouldn't there be paperwork saying they were married?)

Anyway, we see them try to hide the news from each other to avoid upset, but it comes out and they must deal with it.

Judith's main concern is that Jeremy wouldn't WANT to marry her again, but he sets her straight:

Culminating in a happy Christmas wedding!

My Time Capsule Podcast - ep 349 - January 7, 2024

Just popping in to share the link to an episode of a podcast Robin was on! As usual, I found out about it over a year after it aired, but here it is, for anyone else that was unaware.
My Time Capsule Podcast - Episode 349

I listen to a lot of podcasts in general lately, and was happy to find one I'd not known about. Loved listening to Robin chat about his career and joke around. I learned a few new stories. It was cute to hear him talk about how he had to practically jump through hoops to get his part on "Madame Blanc" when he was used to just being handed roles in his younger years. Ha, and now look, he really is the most popular character on the show! The theme of guests picking items they would like to put in a time capsule was pretty interesting, too...a sort of fun little thing to do that's different. Gets the guests thinking, rather than staying in "interview mode"!
