ITV and ITV Hub will reunite Detective Barnabys past and present, with a landmark documentary celebrating 25 years of Midsomer Murders.
The documentary, titled Midsomer Murders – 25 Years of Mayhem, will feature a number of key cast members from the show’s history, including both its present-day leading man Neil Dudgeon (DCI John Barnaby) and his predecessor John Nettles (DCI Tom Barnaby) who retired from the series in 2011.
The special episode also promises to take a look back at the guest appearances of future A-listers, for example Orlando Bloom and Henry Cavill, who both appeared in the crime drama before they became household names.
According to a synopsis, the documentary will take viewers “behind the scenes of the filming of series 23, as well as taking a trip down memory lane with a Midsomer coach tour looking back at some of the show’s iconic locations, paying homage to the beautiful but equally deadly English countryside, which has played such a huge part in the success of the series”.
The teaser adds that Midsomer Murders has remained a “quintessentially British mainstay that transcends British television, loved by legions of loyal viewers across the globe and broadcast internationally in over 200 countries and territories”.
