About this deal

Dominic Jephcott first appeared as Richard Bayly in "Death's Shadow" (1999) and was later cast as Henry Marwood/Benjamin Hastings in "Four Funerals and a Wedding" (2006).

Awful Wedded Life: Bernie Benham was not only a witness to her husband's bizarre murder, she calls out corrections when the murderer misses. 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. Selina Cadell played Phyllis Cadell in the pilot episode "The Killings at Badger's Drift" (1997) and Eleanor Crouch in "Midsomer life" (2008). He played Mike Spicer in Midsomer Murders "Hidden Depths" (2005), and Hamish Rafferty in "The Curse of the Ninth" (2017).

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). Detective Constable Gail Stephens ( Kirsty Dillon) (series 10–13)—a colleague of Tom Barnaby and DS Jones, who often helps them in their cases, sometimes providing valuable insight. Gail was transferred to Midsomer from Binwell. Gail is cheery but emotional, breaking down in tears when, after initially serving as a uniformed woman police constable, she was appointed as a plain-clothed CID detective. Throughout Gail's appearances, it is implied that she is on the point of having an affair with Sgt Jones, but when it came to the crunch he decided that he did not want to get too heavily involved with a colleague, after which Gail effectively snubbed him. Strangely, Gail has not been seen since "Fit For Murder". 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. 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.) 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.

Barnaby arrives. DS Dan Scott tells him, "The victim is Nicholas Turner. A local solicitor. Took a stroll off his roof. The gardener, Steve Hope, says he heard someone calling out for help just before it happened. He says he thinks it sounded like the victim." Death by Irony: Otto Benham is murdered with a combination of his hobbies of crochet, model siege equipment and wine, while has-been quiz show host Mike Spicer is forced to answer questions and slowly drowned in wine as he gets them wrong.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".

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. At the Wilmot home, Antonia hears howling and noises. She gets up and looks around. There is thudding under the floor. Neil Dudgeon, Chief Inspector John Barnaby, appeared for the first time as Daniel Bolt [7] a character in the episode "Garden of Death" (2000).

Kevin Doyle appeared as Ferdy Villiers in "Ghosts of Christmas Past" (2004), and again as Paddy Powell in "The Oblong Murders" (2011). 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. The following actors and actresses who appeared in this episode have also appeared in the following episodes: 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.

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." 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 ] 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." I have only one issue with this episode. It is that some characters like Jane don't have much to do after Barnaby is done with his interviews.Doctor Fleur Perkins ( Annette Badland) (series 20–present)—Dr. Kam Karimore's replacement as resident pathologist. 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.
