Midsomer Murders -  Blood Wedding

Wedding bells ring out in Midsomer at the start of a new series of ABC1's top-rating drama, Midsomer Murders.

Proud father DCI Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) is looking forward to walking his daughter Cully (Laura Howard) down the aisle at her marriage to fiancé Simon (Sam Hazeldine).

But when another wedding day in the picturesque countryside is shattered by the fatal stabbing of the bride's maid of honour, Barnaby finds once again that murder and mayhem drag him away from his family.

As wife Joyce (Jane Wymark) despairs and Cully suffers last-minute nerves, can Barnaby discover the dark secrets haunting the upper crust Fitzroys and still make it to the church on time?

This episode, Blood Wedding, marks the beginning of a new series and new cases facing Barnaby and his sidekick DS Ben Jones (Jason Hughes).

Blood Wedding also features a special guest appearance by Daniel Casey as Barnaby's former sidekick Gavin Troy.
