Midsomer Murders fans have been waiting patiently for new episodes to arrive on ITV, and now the wait has been extended after the show was bumped off the schedules this weekend for Harry: The Interview, a one-off interview with the Duke of Sussex.
The original schedules saw Midsomer Murders airing on ITV1 at 8 pm on Sunday, January 8, with DCI John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) and DS Jamie Winter (Nick Hendrix) returning to their super sleuthing after a body is found in a treasure chest prop on the set of an amateur dramatics production.
Kevin Whately, Shobna Gulati and Samantha Spiro are all due to guest star in the scrapped episode which will see Barnaby and Winter race against time to find out who the killer is before the body count starts to pile up.
Sadly, fans of the detective drama will have to wait a little longer to find out whodunnit after the new mystery was dropped to make way for ITV's exclusive 90-minute documentary that Prince Harry has recorded ahead of the release of his bombshell book, Spare.
In the new documentary, Harry will sit down with journalist and ITV News at Ten presenter Tom Bradby for an in-depth chat about his past and present, while also taking a look at his hopes for the future.
But Midsomer Murders fans aren't happy that Harry's interview has taken the place of their favorite show and they've taken to social media to share their anger...
Midsomer Murders was supposed to be back on Sunday but it seems they've now knocked it off for Harry's interview. I am NOT amused! 😒January 2, 2023
@ITV can't believe you cancelled new Midsomer murders to air a documentary of Prince Harry 😢January 3, 2023
@ITV we don’t want the Harry interview in prime time tv. We want midsomer murders. Stop giving him air time to push his book. @MidsomerTV @dudgeon_neil @GMB #stoptheharryinterviewJanuary 3, 2023
