Days of Misrule, Part 1
midsomer murders

During the Christmas holidays Barnaby and Jones attend an exasperating team-building exercise, run by a young and overly ambitious acting chief superintendent. They're released from their misery to respond to an explosion at a trucking company operated by one of the most hated men in Midsomer. The detectives soon realize that the intended victim had many enemies among the townswomen, including his own grandmother. Guest star Tim Pigott-Smith (Jewel In the Crown).

Duration: 49 minutes and 37 seconds

Episode Number: 1111

About Midsomer Murders:

The rural countryside of a fictional county in England provides the backdrop for this long-running crime series based on the novels of Caroline Graham.

A lush visual style, quirky characters and ubiquitous red herrings recall classic public television British mysteries of the past.

At the center of the MIDSOMER MURDERS investigations is Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby, played by actor John Nettles (Bergerac), and Detective Sergeant Daniel "Dan" Scott (John Hopkins).
