Midsomer Murders: The Ballad of Midsomer County (S17EP3, Dean Andrews, Claudie Blakley)
In The Ballad of Midsomer County, it’s the day of the Little Crosby Folk Festival, and Toby Winning, the festival’s organiser, is discovered dead in a bowl of eggs and live eels. A ballad made famous by the late, lamented star Johnny Carver appears to have inspired the murder. Then it’s revealed that the victim recently announced plans to relocate the event, which would have cost local entrepreneur Frank Wainwright a lot of money. Toby’s estranged wife Alice is also suspected, before two more murders occur, echoing more lyrics from the song.
With Neil Dudgeon (DCI John Barnaby), Gwilym Lee (DS Charlie Nelson), Fiona Dolman (Sarah Barnaby)
