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

These characters are:
Dectective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby, who is played by John Nettles (of Bergerac fame).
