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. The only indication that the viewer gets is that at the start of the episode she witnesses something unsettling in the woods.
Written in Blood
Midsomer Worthy is the setting for this gruesome murder.
The victim is Gerald Hadleigh, the secretary of the writers circle.
All is not how it first appears as the plot unfolds Barnaby and Troy discover this man had no formal identification. Was he indeed who everyone thought he was?
Death of a Hollow Man
An elderly resident is found drowned after a violent attack in a nursing home in the village of Ferne Basset.
Meanwhile, elsewhere a local amateur dramatic ...
Advantages: Fascinating case, Fuhrman is a really interesting guy Disadvantages: Plodding and unconvicing film
without a cinema run. The second reason is that the film is very linear, it's a murder film without any real violence or horror, because that's not what the film is about.
So the film in my view falls between being entertainment and a documentary programme, because it's neither. I'd really rather watched this having been made in a documentary style, but because the murder of the girl was real, it is difficult to gain any "enjoyment" from it being a horror film.
The DVD has very few extras, just the standard sub-titles and a couple of trailers. I've mentioned in the past in my reviews that I always like extras as I believe that they add some extra depth to the film, and so it's disappointing that there aren't any on this DVD. I suppose however that this is understandable given the low production costs and the intention in making the film a non ...
Advantages: Great acting, direction, locations, script and plot-lines Disadvantages: Continual re-running of older episodes

RELATED USELESS FACTS:
Despite its name, this very (but not terribly) English crime drama series, based on the Inspector Barnaby books by Caroline Graham, is filmed mostly in the villages and towns of rural Buckinghamshire, occasionally straying into neighbouring counties. The nearest they come to the Midsomer villages is in the name and the name alone.
The real Corston village in Somerset has a pub, two churches, a petrol station and not much more. There is no more a CID unit based there than there is a ?Corston College? also referenced in one of the episodes.
