*ArtisticLicenceGeography: Carsley is said to be somewhere between Bourton on the Water and Moreton in Marsh, both in the North Cotswolds of Gloucestershire, yet the local police are based in Evesham, which is in a entirely different county (Worcestershire), and is covered by a completely different police force (West Mercia), who, therefore, have no business investigating crime in Gloucestershire. It apparently only takes half an hour to get to Bath (Try adding on a hour to that journey time, and you may be nearer the mark), and the local bus service is run by The South Gloucestershire Bus company, which is an entirely different administration area from Gloucestershire it's self, and, as the name may suggest, is actually to the south of the county.

''Agatha Raisin'' is a British comedy-drama based on the novels of M.C. Beaton. It began with a pilot titled ''Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death'' in 2014, and was followed with an eight-part series that first aired in 2016
Agatha Raisin, PR whizz, gives up her successful life in London, landing with a bang in the quiet village of Carsely with hopes of beginning a new dream life. Bored, lonely and used to getting her own way, Agatha finds that life in the Cotswolds isn't quite the picture-perfect existence she imagined... and when her high-flying city attitude is met with puzzlement and suspicion from country locals, Agatha enlists the few allies she can find. Among them are DC Bill Wong, a lovelorn local policeman; Gemma Simpson, her suffer-no-fools cleaning lady; and Roy Silver, a faithful former assistant from London. But with her unique brand of feisty truth telling finding little favour, it seems the community is not quite ready for the acerbic Agatha.

* AmateurSleuth: Agatha is PR expert who spends more time solving murders than she does doing public relations.
* HeadTiltinglyKinky: At the end of "Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley", Agatha brings home a copy of the nude yoga dvd. As she and Gemma sit down to watch it, they immediately start tilting their heads at an odd angle.
