MIDSOMER MURDERS - THEY SEEK HIM HERE

Coming to ITV1 on Sunday 27 April @ 8.00pm is a new episode of one of our favorite comfort shows, MIdsomer Murders. In They Seek Him Here the setting is Midsomer Magna where the crew of a new film version of The Scarlet Pimpernel are at loggerheads, the producer hates the director and the director can't stand the producer and the owners of the manor house where the film is being shot, Terence and Diane Charteris, are on their uppers with a marriage that is falling apart.

DCI Barnaby and DS Jones get interested in events whilst following thief George Ince to a meeting at the manor with Jed Norris, another ex-con. They are amazed to discover Norris is employed there as a security guard.

Meanwhile Joyce arrives with a group of residents from The Cedars care home who have been drafted in as cheap extras. Among them is Gwen Morrison, an old friend of Cheyney’s, who now runs a charity shop with Leonie.

Filming is disrupted when Raymond Clandillon, a larger-than-life, gay, alcoholic actor arrives, begging for a role. Cheyney casts him as an extra, much to the amusement of Neville Hayward, the brother of Gwen’s late husband Ted. At one point, Raymond, Neville, Gwen and Ted were local actors known as the Four Musketeers, but after Ted died, Neville’s friendship with Raymond soured.

Leonie interrupts dinner at Magna Manor to warn Cheyney to stay away from her son, Josh. Diane also threatens him, as does Danny, Leonie’s partner. Cheyney laughs it off but, later that night, Jed finds him beheaded by the guillotine, a film prop.

Braxton and Diane have alibis after they admit spending the night together, while Danny reveals that Josh was Cheyney’s son, the result of a drunken night. And according to Neville, Raymond blames Cheyney for ruining his career, while Leonie suggests her father will stop at nothing to make money from Magna Manor.

With such a wide array of suspects to choose from, Barnaby is sure young Josh is central to the case. Then Bullard reveals Cheyney was drugged with morphine before he was beheaded.

After Neville steps in to give an emotional performance in a scene, Barnaby gets him to open up about Ted. Neville blames Raymond for contributing to his brother’s death through drink. Then Gwen makes a stunning confession.

As the complicated relationships of the Four Musketeers start to emerge, Gwen is found beheaded. But who is settling old scores and why?
