DCI Tom Barnaby is retiring. These episodes do not carry off the believability of those that have gone before. There are some silly methods of murder, like filling a car with cement. Did the murderer really think this would somehow hide the body? We are sad to see John Nettles go, because it looks like he's taking all that Midsomer was, with him.

This is another of John Nettles series. Although this is the last one he is in, I will still be glad to see that more will come out. As to whether they continue this series once cousin "John" Barnaby takes over remains to be seen. I see that there are a few more that will come out after "Tom" leaves, but as to whether they continue it, I don't know, I just hope so, as I really have enjoyed all of the movies. My one point is, though, I decided to buy this from amazon.com because it was cheaper there, than what they were selling for it here, and I refuse to buy something like this for more than 40 CAD. Even though I have the whole series and have enjoyed watching these mysteries many times over since I bought them I don't think that having to pay (about 14 CAD/movie in a package of 4 per series) is worth it, so if you CAN get it cheaper elsewhere, I'd advise it. Most of them I have bought through amazon.ca because it was usually cheaper to do so. In regards to the whole series that is out, I know you won't regret it, as I sure haven't!

Once again, a WINNER!! For those of you who have watched and enjoyed all the previous sets of Midsomer Murders...GO FOR THIS ONE TOO, each episode is full of energy, good characters and story lines!! I watched them all three times..( as I always do)

What a EXCELLENT "bow-out" by John Nettles. It was probably the very best "closing of a character" in any series that I have ever watch. Barnaby's cousin slides right into his shoes effortlessly.
I was very sad to see John Nettles leave the show, but, hats off to him for so many wonderful years playing Barnaby for us. I have bought every single set from every year.. ..and this set is just a good, no disappointments. :-))

I haven't seen any of the new episodes without John Nettles yet...but all my family 'on the other side of the Pond', say that they are still watching the shows, and Midsomer has not missed a beat! ( Phew! So glad to hear that! ) Everyone says that Sykes,- the dog belonging to the new Barnaby- completes the show. So, I am waiting with impatient anticipation for the next release of Midsomer Murders!!!!

LONG MAY MIDSOMER RUN!

Both thumbs upward for this ' Set 20.'

I've invested a large amount of money into this series and will continue to do so. Barnaby steps down and lets his cousin carry on in his position. Surprisingly the transition was smoother than I expected. The quality of the DVD is of the best, as usual.
