Parental Avoidance Syndrome

Parental Avoidance Syndrome is a non-existant syndrome, jokingly referred to in 'The Flying Club', an episode of Midsomer Murders.

During that episode the parents of resident pathologist Kate Wilding come to visit her. Her father, Giles, is pensioned off and is bored to death, so he tries to 'help' his daughter.

Kate tries to evade her parents, something DCI John Barnaby not fails to notice.
