Midsomer Murders

About Midsomer

Midsomer Murders is a popular British television series about murders that take place in the fictional English county of Midsomer. Based on a series of crime novels by the author Caroline Graham, the detective drama focuses on the main character of Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby, played by actor John Nettles (of Bergerac fame).

First transmitted in the United Kingdom in March 1997, filming is currently underway on the eleventh series of the programme, which will bring the total number of episodes to fifty-nine. Viewing figures for the series are very healthy, and the feature-length drama attracts a number of well-known actors from the stage and screen in guest-starring roles. The majority of the early episodes were written by the writer Anthony Horowitz, who, together with the original producers Betty Willingale and Brian True-May, also created the series; and current writers include Peter J. Hammond, David Hoskins, Douglas Watkinson and Andrew Payne.

Filming takes place on location in the English counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey.
