Midsomer Murders (Box Set) You're not always safer in the country

Advantages: Easy to watch and very entertaining
Disadvantages: Could become repetitive?

of Box Set One The Killings at Badger's Drift Badgers Drift was the pilot and what a way to start. An old lady is found dead in her cottage. No-one can understand why as she was a lovely lady who kept herself to herself.

Review of Midsomer Murders (Box Set) (DVD)

Murders Aplenty

Advantages: Great story lines. Mysterious. Well produced.
Disadvantages: None

This is one of my favourite programmes on ITV1 at the present time. It is about murders and the solving of them in deepest rural England, known locally as Midsomer. There are various country villages littered in this area. The main town is Corsten, where the two main characters live and police from.

Midsomer Murders Soundtrack

Advantages: high quality performance
Disadvantages: Lots of superfluous tracks

Midsomer Murders, starring the legendary John Nettles, has provided a pacifier for the large chunk of our nation that revel in a murder mystery. People were coming bored of watching the endless repeats of agatha christie hoping to get a thrill. Then along came Midsomer. The opening scenes of Midsomer do a lot to dispell any misgivings that this is not worth watching. From the first quaver uttered by the bass clarinet, you know that this is quality. The soundtrack fits the genre perfectly and has become the selfadverisement for Midsomer. We, as a nation, have grown to love midsomer and its soundtrack is guaranteed to set many a mystery-lover a-quiver. So, if you love midsomer and you love the soundtrack then this excellent redition is the Cd for you. ...
