The death of elderly Miss Emily Simpson in the sleepy village of Badger's Drift brings DCI Tom Barnaby and DS Gavin Troy to investigate. Her best friend and neighbour, Lucy Bellringer, had seen her return from a walk in the woods, unnerved and shocked by something she had seen. When her death is confirmed as no accident, Barnaby and Troy start to question the eccentric and quirky residents. Nosy village resident Iris Rainbird, who spies on her fellow villagers from a high vantage point in her house, may be a key witness, but she and her eccentric son soon fall victim to the killer themselves.
Midsomer Murders is a British crime drama television series, adapted by Anthony Horowitz and Douglas Watkinson from the novels in the Chief Inspector Barnaby book series (created by Caroline Graham), and broadcast on two channels of ITV since its premiere on 23 March 1997. The series focuses on various murder cases that take place within small country villages across the fictional English county of Midsomer, and the efforts of the senior police detective and his partner within the fictional Midsomer Constabulary to solve the crime by determining who the culprit is and the motive for their actions. It identifies itself differently from other detective dramas often by featuring a mixture of lighthearted whimsy and dark humour, as well as a notable soundtrack that includes the use of the theremin instrument for the show's theme tune.
The programme has featured two lead stars—from its premiere in 1997, John Nettles as Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) Tom Barnaby, until his retirement from the drama in February 2011; then Neil Dudgeon as DCI John Barnaby, Tom's younger cousin, since March 2011. Both main stars have featured a list of supporting actors who worked alongside them, including Jane Wymark, Barry Jackson, Daniel Casey, John Hopkins, Jason Hughes, and Gwilym Lee, with Nick Hendrix as the current co-star working with Dudgeon. Midsomer Murders remains a popular feature in British television schedules and has been broadcast internationally in over 200 countries and territories.MORE AT LINK
