1. Midsomer murders is a british television series that is about a
detective that is trying to get to the bottom of well planned and
disguised murders.
It first aired in 1997 and has been very successful ever since.
The current detective is inspector chief john Barnaby.
Midsomer is an English fictionalcounty. The county town is Causton, a
middle-sized town where Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby lives
with his wife and where the Criminal Investigation Department is located.
Many of the villages and small towns of the county have the word
Midsomer in their name; this is inspired in part by the real county
ofSomerset, and specifically the town of Midsomer Norton. The county of
Midsomer is notable for its particularly high crime rate, causing the
Midsomer Constabulary to be inundated with the number of murder cases
that come their way. This has even become a running joke among the
British public. When Mrs. Barnaby proposed they move out of Causton and
suggested various villages, her husband countered with recollections of
particularly grisly murders that occurred in each community.
