I was just wondering if anyone here is a fan of these? There are a few members from the UK, so they may be more familiar with them.

We got them for a while, and when I stumbled across the show, I fell in love with it. I really love the scenery and the plot twists.

I keep searching the channels hoping to find it again being brodcast, but so far no luck.


I would take this series over anything comparable made in the USA.

Thanks for the input. I tried itv.com but unless I live in the UK, I am banned!


The station TVO, out of Toronto has it. So we bought rabbit ears, and my DH worked hard running the wires under the floor so we could put the rabbit ears in the window...no luck. Well, if he stands with his hand on the antenna for an hour! That won't happen!! Toronto is north of us and we have to have the dish facing south.

Oh well, I can either hear it but not see it, or see it and not hear it. Guess I am out of luck. Our PBS station used to carry it before I discovered it!
Oh well, there is always the cd's.

I tried the link but I am scared it is going to charge me to watch it! DH is out at the moment, but when he gets home, he is more computer savvy than I am, so I will let him take a look at it.

Basically, I am a coward!!

it wants my e mail and name. Then it says "try it free" which makes me think once they get your info, they will start e mailing to get you to join.

I don't know. I may try but not submit and see what is what....

I bought the "Barnaby's Casebook" DVD set for my mother last year. A&E used to show it, and there are 2-3 seasons that haven't been seen in the States yet. (Not surprised being that A&E cares more about reality and paranormal shows now.) Have they started the new episodes with the new lead detective yet?

The show has a website, Midsomermurders.org. Lots of info there and pics. A&E is where I originally watched it, then just when I got into it, it disappeared.

I just googled Blinkx.com and read some reviews. Some said it's the best site and some said stay away if you don't want a virus.


So, since we just had a virus and had to take the computer to a guy to fix, I think I am going to err on the side of safety. But, hey thanks, it was worth the try.


If I could just turn the house around to face the north......

Yep, they have a site, midsomermurders.org. Real nice site with lots of info. But sadly, nothing about being aired here.

I could get the cds but, man, that would get pricey. Today, I may do a bit of electrical work and run another wire for the antenna and put it in a northwest window. I don't have a window to the north directly, but maybe this would work.

DH never knows what to expect when he comes home!


Thanks all for the suggestions. Nice to know there are people out there who appreciate a good mystery.
