Reading this thread has been extremely interesting.
If some of the American or Canadians here aren't understanding Brackenreid's outbursts...
"Bairns" is Scots dialect. It basically means babies/toddlers, or children.
"Fannying around" is a polite way of saying screwing around. Wasting time. Faffing about.
"Nancy-boy/Nancies" - Homosexuals. If you want go REALLY oldschool, you could also say "Molly" ("Molly-House" = gay brothel)

Perhaps the Family Brackenreid took a few months off on vacation and sailed back to England for a holiday while Tommy was convalescing?

It's high time for our favourite Inspector to get some love from the fans. I thought it might be fun to collect his fav expressions and/or the ones we find most amusing. Here we go: "Murdoch!" "Bloody hell" "Me old mucker" - anybody know what that word really is? "Be careful when you go dancing Murdoch. There are some people who don't like their toes being stepped on". "Crabtree!" "Higgins!" "What do I always say? Follow the money." "Mandrakes, eh?" There are so many more...let's hear them! I'm surprised no one's mentioned "Let the dog see the rabbit," which he's used a couple of times in the past couple of seasons. |

"My aunt Fanny!" In Me, Myself and Murdoch. I noticed a lot of Thomasisms in this episode but they are already mentioned.

Not really a Thomasisms but have you noticed Thomas Craig has given Brackenreid a promotion. He sometimes refers to himself as Chief Inspector. He does it in The Murdoch Sting and a couple of other episodes.

I'm kind of wondering whether he is going to end up as Chief Inspector this season because of the Fall of Giles... |

In The Murdoch Sting I think he's puffing himself up to impress Cassie Chadwick, can't remember the other occasions off the top of my head but I thought on another he was trying to impress too. Of course it's probably just a writing error. |

One was in 'Murdoch Ahoy,' when he steps in to try to close the door to the flooding compartment. The other was later in Season 7, but arrrrgh, I can't remember which one right now! |

Of course it's probably just a writing error. Murdoch was listed in the credits as Inspector for the first THREE seasons! Then someone finally noticed this rather glaringly obvious mistake. I get the impression that maybe in the UK, the designations are somewhat different. So perhaps this mistake was due to a collaboration error on Alibi's part. |
