Product Information

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. 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. The following actors and actresses who appeared in this episode have also appeared in the following episodes:

VKK Birgitte Poulsen ( Ann Eleonora Jørgensen) appears in "The Killings of Copenhagen" and "Death of the Small Coppers". Doctor Kam Karimore ( Manjinder Virk) (series 18–19)—Dr Kate Wilding's replacement as resident pathologist. 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. 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. 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).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").

Maggie Steed played Rosemary Furman in "Judgement Day" (2000), Lynne Fox in "Left for Dead" (2008), and Sylvia Mountford in "Schooled in Murder" (2013). 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. In May and June 2010, he appeared in Coronation Street as Gail McIntyre's barrister as part of her murder trial storyline where she was wrongly accused of murdering husband Joe McIntyre. 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.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 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".

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." 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. Tessa Peake-Jones played Sarah Lawton in "Faithful unto Death" (1998), and Mary Appleton in "Breaking the Chain" (2016). 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".Kevin Doyle appeared as Ferdy Villiers in "Ghosts of Christmas Past" (2004), and again as Paddy Powell in "The Oblong Murders" (2011).
