Product Information

Selina Cadell played Phyllis Cadell in the pilot episode "The Killings at Badger's Drift" (1997) and Eleanor Crouch in "Midsomer life" (2008).

As has been said by me a number of times, 'Midsomer Murders' is one of my most watched and most re-watched shows. It is nowhere near as good now and the Tom Barnaby-era wasn't alien to average or less episodes, but when it was on form or at its best boy was it good. Maggie Steed played Rosemary Furman in "Judgement Day" (2000), Lynne Fox in "Left for Dead" (2008), and Sylvia Mountford in "Schooled in Murder" (2013).Grace goes to the Boxing practice center. Ken Touhy is there to practice. Camilla and Gerald are at Giles' office, but he's not in. Iris asks if she can help. Camilla and Gerald leave. Grace meets with Giles at her house. Tessa Peake-Jones played Sarah Lawton in "Faithful unto Death" (1998), and Mary Appleton in "Breaking the Chain" (2016). Giles Braithwaite receives a call from Frank Bishop. Frank wants to meet with Giles at 2 am after his flight gets in. At the party, Grace Bishop says to Iris Holman, "Sorry for squeezing your hand like that. During the fight the other night. You must think I'm awful." Iris says, "How perceptive." Grace says, "Is that a smile? Or just your lips sliding off your teeth?" Barnaby says to Giles Braithwaite, "Gerald is very strongly identified with Midsomer Morchard, isn't he?" Joyce says, "He's the lord of the manor." Giles retorts, "Not quite." Joyce says, "He lives in the manor house." Giles says, "He's the current occupant." Barnaby says, "And it is very kind of him, is it not, to open up the place for the celebration?" Giles says, "He's a sporting man with a strong sense of occasion." Giles is not a boxing fan, but he did have an interest in this fight. Joyce says, "And your wife?" Giles says, "Iris? She's not my wife. She's my assistant." Giles walks off.

Detective Sergeant (later Inspector) Gavin Troy ( Daniel Casey) (main: series 1–7; guest: series 11)—DCI Barnaby's first assistant. Troy is bright and ambitious. Early in the series, Troy is also known for his careless driving, causing a number of near-accidents. He is less enlightened than his boss who, in the first episode, tells Troy that he is “as politically correct as a Nuremberg Rally.” For example, Troy is uncomfortable with gay people (he calls them “ass bandits”) and the elderly, whom he calls "wrinklies". There were a few other characters here that just filled in space, like Bishop's wife (and mother to John). The sculptor who was commissioned to do a beautiful metal piece who is engaged (or was) to an equally aggressive, hurt feelings brute of a bully who also hated John because of how he was treated by the ladies. Wouldn't have mind if he was murdered, btw. This whole episode basically had me wanting MORE people dead. Is that sad for me to say? Trust me...there are episodes of MM where the people you think or, wish that should die, doesn't.

Doctor Kate Wilding ( Tamzin Malleson) (series 14–17)—Dr George Bullard's replacement as resident pathologist. Her confident, competent, no-nonsense approach has earned the detectives' respect. She is unmarried and is also a professor. Her parents, Giles and Laura, have appeared in one episode, "The Flying Club". [4] In the series 18 opener, "Habeas Corpus", Wilding has left Midsomer to take up a professorship in Brighton. She is briefly seen on-screen in a photo with Ben Jones, who had previously relocated to Brighton.

Inside the Manor, Gerald and Sebastian are having a discussion. Sebastian says, "Frank Bishop? Here? It's never going to happen. I won't let it." Gerald says, "There's nothing we can do about it. It's out of our hands." Sebastian says, "We'll see about that." Sebastian walks out. Camilla tells Grace that Frank should be at the field by now- he only went to get his costume on. Grace goes to look for Frank. Camilla asks Joyce, "Do you think Frank Bishop would mind if someone else did the unveiling?" Joyce says, "The whole event was his idea. And his money paid for the statue." Camilla says, "I suppose he would be put out if somebody else took the limelight." Camilla says, "If Grace can't find him, will you do the honours? In your capacity as Queen Victoria." Grace shows up and doesn't know where Frank is, so Joyce goes to unveil the statue of Tom Sayers. The crowd cheers. 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". Iris Holman drives up to Morchard Manor. Sebastian comes out of the Manor. Iris says she wants to know if Sebastian killed Giles. Sebastian says he's been wanting to ask her the same question.In the gym, Grace and Teddy worry about what Frank knows about them. She thinks Iris Holman may have told him about them.

Joyce and Barnaby arrive at Morchard Manor. Joyce is helping plan the Reenactment. She runs inside and shows Grace and Camilla a poster printed for the event. Joyce says, "What do you think? Magnificent brutes, aren't they?" Grace says, "Joyce! You're right. That'd definitely persuade me to go to the fight." Camilla says, "They didn't have posters in 1860. All the arrangements had to be hush-hush in case the police found out and stopped it." Grace says, "That was 150 years ago. This time round, we need all the publicity we can get." Camilla says, "I was only trying to show that I'd done my research." Grace says, "Hey, you don't have to justify yourself to me. I'm not that husband of yours. We're very happy to have you in charge."

At Morchard Manor, Camilla answers the door to the detectives. She tells them that Gerald is not home. Barnaby tells her he has realized that her child is Gerald's. She goes off to be interviewed by Jones. Outside Sebastian runs into Giles. "I've been looking everywhere for you!" Giles says, "Not now, Sebastian. We're leaving." Sebastian says, "I don't think so." The detectives leave. Jones says, "That woman is in such denial about him. Why did you let her go?" Barnaby says, "I hope she'll drop her guard. Remember Frank Bishop saying she was present at every single meeting he had with Braithwaite?" Jones says, "Yeah. And she had access to the details of all his clients." Barnaby says, "I think she knows why Braithwaite and Bishop were killed." Jones says, "So if she's not the murderer, she knows who is." Barnaby says, " I believe that Iris Holman is a very nervous lady right about now.
