I saw The Murder Room first before Death in Holy Orders and I enjoyed TMR more than DiHO which I found very confusing plot wise as the characters were just all thrown in with no explanation of who was who.

That's too bad that the plot is confusing. I can buy both TMR and DiHo at amazon.ca, so, hopefully, once I have them I'll be able to follow along when I watch DiHo.

I never watched any other actor playing the Commander and thoroughly enjoyed Martin's version of him. *hot*

Oh yeah, definitely hot! *g*
