Midsomer Murders - Hidden Depths [DVD]

Product Information

In "Murder Of Innocence", it is revealed that Jones is in a relationship with firefighter Susie Bellingham. In the series 16 opener, "The Christmas Haunting", it is revealed that Jones has been promoted to Inspector and transferred to Brighton. A photo of Jones (alongside Kate Wilding, who also moved to Brighton) is shown in the series 18 opener "Habeas Corpus". DI Jones made a further appearance in episode 3 of series 19 "Last Man Out", in an undercover role - erroneously still listed in the credits as DS Ben Jones. In the end, he left Causton CID after a mini farewell party at John and Sarah Barnaby’s home at the end of episode 6 of series 15, "Schooled in Murder". Secondly, the deaths in "Hidden Depths" are among the most deliciously elaborate, grisly and imaginative of the entire show, the second murder in particular is among the greatest 'Midsomer Murders' scenes. Thirdly, the final solution is one of the show's cleverest and most ingenious, one that is revealed later than most episodes before it and one that leaves one absolutely floored, plus it is very easy to follow and explained very clearly and neatly. Sure, the way the murderers are caught is somewhat too easy but not in a jarringly bad way. Detective Sergeant Charlie Nelson ( Gwilym Lee) (series 16–18)—When Jones was promoted, he was replaced by DS Charlie Nelson. Nelson was the first Sergeant to not serve alongside Tom Barnaby. He was a lodger at Kate's house. Nelson left the series after season 18. 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] Since February 2003 he has been married to Amy Robbins (his co-star in The Royal, who played Dr. Jill Weatherill, who later became his screen wife). [6] They have two daughters, Elizabeth and May, and a son, Benjamin. [6] They live in Ampthill, Bedfordshire, where Robert compered the town's first Proms in June 2009 and helped to set up the Ampthill Literary Festival.

Awful Wedded Life: Bernie Benham was not only a witness to her husband's bizarre murder, she calls out corrections when the murderer misses.

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". He used to be a Freemason, as revealed in "King's Crystal". In the episode "Death in Chorus", Jones exhibits a remarkable vocal talent and is recruited to sing tenor in the Midsomer Worthy choir. In "Death in the Slow Lane", it is revealed that Jones was interested in replacing Tom Barnaby upon his retirement and was a little put out by his cousin, John Barnaby, being transferred to the position instead. In reality, he could not have been given the post because it would have required him to bypass the rank of inspector. Bernie Benham - Restrained to her wheelchair with duct tape, them carefully transported to her bedroom window overlook Otto's murder. She was complicit by directing the trajectory of the murder weapon.

Olive Beauvoisin, estate agent tells Scott that Peter moved abroad shortly after Anthony's wedding. There was some sort of scandal in all the tabloids at the time. She says, "I know for a fact they haven't spoken in ten years. No idea whether he's alive or dead. Cares less."Troy's relationship with Barnaby is warm, and the two make a formidable pair. Troy was promoted to Inspector and transferred to Northumbria in the first episode of the seventh series, called "The Green Man". [1] Troy makes one re-appearance in the first episode of Series 11, "Blood Wedding", to attend the wedding of Tom's daughter, Cully Barnaby (whom he once secretly kissed in the episode "Death And Dreams", which temporarily strained his relationship with Barnaby), where he met his second successor, Sgt Jones. [2] DS Dan Scott [ edit ] The production values are wonderful here with an awesome direction, beautiful music and great cast. All of the acting is good, but the standouts are Nancy Carroll (she's always good to look at), Oliver Ford Davies (whose character is extremely juicy and arrogant) and Robert Daws- who is very fun to watch and whose character could have been played as an annoying freak, which Mike Spicer actually isn't. Mike Spicer is watching TV at his house. He is watching an old recording of Princess Diana greeting him. He gets a phone call from Otto Benham. Otto says, "I've had Barnaby round here, asking if I know Peter Blagdon. He's just fishing. So when he mentions Peter Blagdon to you, don't react. You've never met him. Understood?" Rosalind Knight played Eleanor Macpherson in "Birds of Prey" (2003) and Mother Jerome in "A Sacred Trust" (2011).

The story is excellent, it's a clever, twisted tail of deception and revenge. The murders are among the best in any episode, it's about now that the writers were looking for more bizarre and obscure killing methods, sometimes they went completely overboard, but here they manage to stay within the limits of reality. The wine bottle murder is perhaps the best in the show's history, and the fact that a relative is made to watch makes it all the better. It's amusing too, Joyce has some great moments, as does Scott. The death scenes of Otto Benham and Mike Spicer are easily the show's most ingenious and brutal. One is catapulted with wine bottles, other drowns in a claret with a TV on his head... Clare Holman played Sue Tutt in "Ring Out Your Dead" (2002), Rose Southerly in "Country Matters" (2006) and Fiona Beauvoisin in "The Miniature Murders" (2019). Jones is considerably less naive than Troy or Scott, possessing an insight into cases that neither would have. Jones was born in Wales and remarks about his love for Wales when he and Tom travel there in the episode "Death and Dust". He is a Welsh Baptist, as Barnaby calls him in "A Sacred Trust" (Series 14, Episode 7), to which Jones replies "What's wrong with that? Except the teetotalism." VKK Birgitte Poulsen ( Ann Eleonora Jørgensen) appears in "The Killings of Copenhagen" and "Death of the Small Coppers".

At the Barnaby home, Joyce Barnaby is painting the wall. Tom Barnaby is called away to a case. He gives her a kiss goodbye. Joyce says, "You will be able to manage the dinner-dance at Fallowfields on Friday night?" Barnaby says, "Nothing is certain, Joyce. But I see no problem." Estate agent Olive Beauvoisin (Eileen Davies) appeared in "Death's Shadow", "Dead Man’s Eleven", and "Hidden Depths" (but was credited in that particular episode only as "Estate Agent"). The final solution of "Hidden Depths" is in my mind the best of the series. It's so clever that leaves one truly floored. (It's got to do with the first victim not being dead in the first place).

Doctor Kam Karimore ( Manjinder Virk) (series 18–19)—Dr Kate Wilding's replacement as resident pathologist. Elizabeth Spriggs and Richard Cant appeared in the pilot episode ("The Killings at Badger's Drift"), as mother and son Iris and Dennis Rainbird; they appeared again in "Dead Letters", this time as Iris' sister Ursula Gooding and her son Alistair. Selina Cadell played Phyllis Cadell in the pilot episode "The Killings at Badger's Drift" (1997) and Eleanor Crouch in "Midsomer life" (2008).Cully Barnaby (later Dixon) ( Laura Howard) (series 1–13)—Tom and Joyce's only child takes her first name from a village on Lake Geneva in Switzerland, where she was conceived during her parents' honeymoon. An inquisitive and bold young woman, she's inherited her parents' friendly attitudes and community spirit. Early in the series, she attended Cambridge University and dated a fellow drama student, called Nico ( Ed Waters). After that, she sometimes went out with and secretly flirted with DS Troy and DS Scott. She is an actress and frequently takes temporary jobs in the Midsomer area when "resting" between assignments. Like her mother, her tendency to do community work often leaves her personally involved with the murders that take place. She meets Simon Dixon ( Sam Hazeldine) in "The Axeman Cometh", becomes engaged to him in "Death In A Chocolate Box", and marries him in "Blood Wedding". You might be hurting a little bit too, Scott, once Zara is finished with you. I don't think that girl is as meek as you think she is. 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). To me, "Hidden Depths" is the best episode of Season 8 and a strong contender for the best Barnaby and Scott episode. It is notable personally for three things. One, the chemistry between Barnaby and Scott is as delightful as one can hope. Always have enjoyed their spirited chemistry, and their scenes in the cellar in "Hidden Depths" will have fans relishing them with glee. John Nettles is superb as Barnaby and John Hopkins is a perfect contrast. Suddenly, Antonia and Felicity hear, No! No, for God's sake! Outside the window, Antonia sees a body drop. Felicity runs outside and cradles the body. Steve runs to the house. Police arrive. DS Scott arrives.
