Link: Downton Abbey meets Murdoch Mysteries for Christmas

From Tony Wong of the Toronto Star:

Downton Abbey meets Murdoch Mysteries for Christmas
“It’s a Christmas tale, so it’s about good triumphing over evil where someone is trying to destroy Christmas, and Murdoch and his gang are trying to save it,” said Peter Mitchell, writer and executive producer of the Toronto-based production. “Having Brendan here is great because so many Downton fans are also Murdoch fans, so there is a lot of crossover. And you have a star who is translatable on both sides of the ocean.” Continue reading.

Link: Murdoch Mysteries: A Christmas Celebration

From Jim Bawden:

Murdoch Mysteries: A Christmas Celebration
Tonight’s installment A Merry Murdoch Mystery is a bit on the ghoulish side for this time of year –the sighting of a mad monster with horns might give younger viewers nightmares.

But Michael McGowan’s direction is sprightly enough and most of the bases are covered as Yultide entertainment including a look at what were deemed appropriate gifts for children in those days.
Asher is in fine form as Kris Kringle who may or may not have actually stolen a cache of children’s presents to give out as his own. Continue reading.

From Bill Harris of Postmedia Network:

Gold, frankincense and “myrrh-doch.”

Of course, one could argue that Christmas came for Murdoch Mysteries a few years ago, when the long-running series was picked up by CBC.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year … except for a murdered philanthropist and stolen gifts meant for needy children. That’s the main storyline behind Monday’s upcoming Murdoch Mysteries‘ holiday special “A Merry Murdoch Christmas”, a rollicking two-hour present guest-starring Ed Asner as Santa Claus, Downton Abbey‘s Brendan Coyle as Mr. Rankin and The O.C.‘s Kelly Rowan as Mrs. Millicent McGowan alongside the series’ regulars.

“It’s a complete Christmas movie,” showrunner Peter Mitchell—who wrote the instalment—teases. “You don’t have to have seen an episode of Murdoch Mysteries to watch it.”

There’s a lot going on in “A Merry Murdoch Christmas” aside from the main crime: the holidays stir up bad memories for Inspector Brackenreid and Crabtree seems destined for a Christmas alone. And, if the picture of William and Julia can be trusted, a very special gift is in the cards.

Take a peek at these images and get ready for Monday night.
