Fans of Midsomer Murders are in for a treat as the 20th series comes to a close…

Investigating bizarre killings is all in a day’s work for DCI Barnaby and DS Winter in Midsomer Murders, but this week’s case is particularly macabre when a butterfly collector is asphyxiated and pinned to the wall through his abdomen, just like one of his specimens.

As ever, the Causton CID team have lots of suspects to sift through, all played by top guest stars including Mark Benton (pictured above with Neil Dudgeon and Nick Hendrix) and Peter Egan. Then Winter gets romantically involved with a young butterfly enthusiast and becomes a target for the killer!
