Midsomer Murders - Hidden Depths [DVD]

Product Information

Joyce Barnaby ( Jane Wymark) (series 1–13)—DCI Tom Barnaby's long-suffering wife. She is tolerant of her husband, despite his being a workaholic who spent their honeymoon solving the case of the " Pimlico Poisoner", which suggests that they met in London. Joyce is an easy-going and friendly woman who likes to be involved in community activities. She has long possessed a desire to move out of their Causton home and into one of the picturesque Midsomer villages—only to be put off by the grisly murders that occur there. She's known to her family as an experimental, but not always successful, cook. Thus, Tom is often seen taking advantage of every opportunity to dine out. She married Tom in 1973 and their only child, Cully, was conceived on their honeymoon. Her parents are Muriel and Douglas. Selina Cadell played Phyllis Cadell in the pilot episode "The Killings at Badger's Drift" (1997) and Eleanor Crouch in "Midsomer life" (2008). Samantha Bond starred in three episodes: first in "Destroying Angel" (2001) and "Shot at Dawn" (2008), and again in Neil Dudgeon's 2011 debut as lead character, the episode "Death in the Slow Lane". Jane Hampton passes by the outbuildings and sees Barnaby's car. She goes to Sandford House and presses the doorbell for Wilmot. This has to be one of the best and intriguing Midsomer Murder episodes - the twist ending which is revealed only in the last 5 minutes or so is worth the watch. I would never have guessed in a million years who the murderer was, and kudos to the writer for coming up with an amazing plot point. Who would have guessed?

Detective Chief Inspector Thomas "Tom" Geoffrey Barnaby ( John Nettles) (series 1–13)—A senior member of Causton CID, Barnaby used to work for MI6. A patient, tolerant man, Barnaby's style of investigation is methodical and fair. Barnaby is a sagacious and perceptive individual, able to recognise seemingly obscure clues. Barnaby's social life revolves around his wife Joyce and his daughter Cully, who often provide a personal connection with the crimes that he is investigating. Barnaby's parents are both deceased by the episode "Blue Herrings". In his last appearance, "Fit for Murder", we learn that his father died on his birthday, at Barnaby's current age. Doctor Kam Karimore ( Manjinder Virk) (series 18–19)—Dr Kate Wilding's replacement as resident pathologist. Daws plays the trumpet, as evidenced when in 1994 he appeared as a guest in the final episode of the BBC comedy series A Bit of Fry and Laurie (series four) and played over the credits, accompanied by Hugh Laurie on the piano. [ citation needed] After being hugely let down by the previous episode "Second Sight", which to me is one of the low-points of 'Midsomer Murders' and actually didn't feel like it at all, it was such a relief for "Hidden Depths" to epitomise what 'Midsomer Murders' is all about and what makes it so great when on form.There have been many great episodes in "Midsomer Murders". "Written in Blood", "Death's Shadow" and "Dead Man's Eleven" come to mind immediately. "Hidden Depths" is an episode, which stands out in many ways. Here's 5 reasons why I think it's the best of the series. She said that she grew up with four red setters and a Labrador. She and DS Jamie Winter develop romantic feelings towards one another. At the end of series 19 she has taken a job in Montreal. [5] Dr. Fleur Perkins [ edit ] Tessa Peake-Jones played Sarah Lawton in "Faithful unto Death" (1998), and Mary Appleton in "Breaking the Chain" (2016). Maggie Steed played Rosemary Furman in "Judgement Day" (2000), Lynne Fox in "Left for Dead" (2008), and Sylvia Mountford in "Schooled in Murder" (2013). Felicity Turner is a character appearing in the episode Hidden Depths of the ITV crime drama Midsomer Murders.

Bizarre Beverage Use: Has-been quiz show host Mike Spicer is forced to answer questions and slowly drowned in wine as he gets them wrong. I really enjoyed the performances of Oliver Ford Davies and Robert Daws, they play two of the most obnoxious, loathsome guys ever seen on the show, but they both do so brilliantly. Nancy Carroll is also excellent, whatever drama she appears in there seems to be a running joke about her husband being spoken about, but always absent, will we ever see Lady Felicia's husband Monty (Father Brown.) Rupert Vansittart appeared in three episodes: as Selwyn Proctor in "Market for Murder" (2002), as Desmond Harcourt in "The Axeman Cometh" (2007), and as Alistair Kingslake in "The Dogleg Murders" (2009). Hidden Depths has to be one of the very best episodes of Midsomer Murders, it combines all essential elements needed for a murder mystery, and just when you think it's done its job, it surprises you even more, with an unbelievably good ending.Meanwhile, the script is smart and thought-provoking with some nice quirky humour, a grimness and with characters that are colourful and eccentric. The story is very absorbing, never simplistic, never confusing and the maturity that 'Midsomer Murders' has when on form is more than evident here. All the acting is very good indeed. He portrayed Arthur Lowe (June 2019) on BBC Radio 4, in Dear Arthur, Love John and Ronnie Barker in Goodnight from Him and John Betjeman in New Fame. New Love (BBC Radio 4). He also co-created the BBC Radio detective series Trueman and Riley and played Trueman in all three series.
