Crime drama: MIDSOMER MURDERS
Neil “High” Dudgeon passed a milestone last year on his 50th episode. He tookever to stop”, when asked if he wanted to match Nettles’ 81 episodes, he admitted, “I don’t know whether I could last that long.” Executive producer Michele Buck describes the show as a safe, warm blanket. “The murders in are never nasty or grim – it’s whimsy. When you are watching the show, you can relax.” Dudgeon’s low-energy approach and a pace that is roughly equivalent to a snail on a picnic blanket may also help. Season 24 starts today.
