Midsomer Murders' 100th episode to be set in Denmark

Makers of ITV's Midsomer Murders are heading to Copenhagen to film a special episode in the Danish capital.

Joining forces with Danish broadcaster DR, which produced hit Danish drama The Killing, programme makers will film in and around Copenhagen, as well as shooting some scenes back in the UK, to mark the 100th episode of the series.

DCI Barnaby, played by Neil Dudgeon, and his new sidekick DS Nelson (Gwilym Lee), travel to Denmark when a body is found there which links back to a family who live in Midsomer. Watch out, too, for some familiar faces, as among the Danish actors are stars from hit Danish shows The Killing and Borgen.

Midsomer Murders is huge in Denmark. Known there as Barnaby, it has been running for more than 12 years.

"The idea to shoot in Denmark came about because we wanted to do something special to mark the 100th episode," says Midsomer executive producer, Jo Wright. "It's great to be working with DR, producer of award-winning series The Killing."

Fans will also see a return to the location of the first ever murder in Midsomer, the iconic Badger's Drift.
