Midsomer Murders set 7 (2006, DVD)

Culley Barnaby is finally being utilized instead of just being a fill in. The writter has her trying to set up a 10 year reunion with old friends only to find one of the friends who use to "pick on her" when she was younger turns out to be a murderer! This is one episode that keeps you on the edge of your seat and wondering who is it? You'll have to watch it to find out...
This series also shows Troy's promotion and leaving the series. Troy helps with one last case and he will be missed dearly! Troy's replacement shows up late and has an attitude to boot. Barnaby's wife wants to help him out by letting him stay with them for a few nights as he looks for an apartment but Barnaby does'nt like the idea much. It's kind of comical to see how they handle the new arrival. He reveals to Culley how he hates the place, in not so many words, who inturn always tells her Father. Barnaby knowing this, confronts the new arrival and soon he realizes this isn't that bad of a place, especially with all the murders. Will he fit in? You'll have to watch and find out for yourself. Along with the usual mischief this series has change which was needed. Sometimes the sets can almost be predicted but this one twists and turns. Can't wait for series 12 to come out, but set 7 is definately worth watching.Read full review...

Midsomer Murders - Set 7 (2006, DVD)

Firstly, a word of warning to intending buyers. Several sellers who are advertising this regularly are using very misleading advertising. They state that there are 7 episodes in this series. They even give the names of the episodes. In fact, there are only 4 episodes as I fouind to my dismay when I queried why I had only received part of what I had ordered. The others which are names are actually in series 8. I complained about this to the seller from whom I bought my set but they took no responsibility for the error, blaming an advertising company for the mistake. I'm not impressed. Despite my complaint, they and other sellers are still using the same wording. Much as I enjoyed the four episodes that I did receive, I certainly would not have bought them and paid international postage has I known there were only 4 episodes.
Having got that off my chest, why have I given a rating of excellent? For my tastes, it is hard to beat top class British detective programmes and this certainly is top class. Good plots, well acted and set in a lovely part of England. I really like the warmth that shows between Barnaby and his wife. Watch how he glows when something good happens to Joyce. There are some excellent guest artists to support the regular team.
So, if you are happy with the value, you will enjoy the product.Read full review...

A great cast of actors make Midsomer Murders a 5 star hit!

Casting is really superb in this series! John Nettles takes the role of Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and knocks it out of the park every time. And, I love the fact that the cast is made up of such a diverse range of character actors. The entire ensemble (core characters, recurring characters and guest stars) makes Midsomer Murders just that much more compelling. Highly recommended!Read full review...

Lovely English Homes and Gardens

I enjoy the characters in this series but mostly I devour with my eyes the beauty of the rural English countryside. This particular set has my favorite episode (so far).

An exciting series in beautiful England!

The shows are excellent as usual. However, I was disappointed to find that there were no subtitles like my other Midsomer Murders series. Hard to understand the audio with the Brit accents sometimes!

Love Midsomer

I love British mysteries in both books and dvds and this is one of my favorite series. I especially enjoy the quaint country settings in Midsomer. This is the first volume in the series without Sgt. Troy so I was a little afraid that it wouldn't be as good, but the new character is every bit as much fun to watch.
I highly recommend #7 to anyone who is fond of the genre.Read full review...

Another great season!

Way to keep the series going. Never the same ideas or crime situations. Mr. Nettles is a true legend in British film and screne and I think this is his best role he has perfomed. Bravo to BBC!

Great English Series
