Does anyone know what the title means? (I've seen a few episodes that I checked out from the library.)
"For a thousand years I wielded the powers of the wish. I brought ruin upon the heads of unfaithful men; I offered destruction and chaos for the pleasure of the lower beings. I was feared and worshipped across the mortal globe and now I'm stuck at Sunnydale High. . . .A mortal. . .A child!. . .And I'm flunking math."
--Anya (BtVS)
I don't know
have started watching the series via Netflix--did not see it on BBCA
the only reason I can think is that they wear the blue coverups to view the murder scene--
"...That's the beauty of argument, Joey. If you argue correctly, you're never wrong..."
The first episode, the day the main Character gets promoted, she catches her husband cheating on her.
Then she is a single parent raising her kids with a very stressful job.
I think that accounts for "Blue Murder"
It's an idiom.
