The Fisher King
UK Broadcast Date: 11 Jan 04
Thirty years ago, Roger Heldman, notorious in the locality
as a womaniser, died one night at the site of an archaeological
dig on the ancient mound of Midsomer Barrow on his land.
Now his only legitimate child, Gareth Heldman, is killed
by a violent blow from a Celtic spear that was taken from
the mound's central chamber. Local antiquities author David
Hartley-Reade, who is widely known to be an illegitimate
son of Heldman's, asks his widow for permission to hold
a midsummer ceremony on the mound, invoking the possibility
of an inheritance claim on the land to persuade her. As
the reasons for wanting to hold the ceremony start to be
realised, he is shot in the back with an arrow in front
of the large crowd gathered there. Barnaby and Scott's investigation
stirs up a maze of twisted relationships, professional jealousies
and lies festering within the picturesque village community,
as they discover other illegitimate children of Heldman's.

Sins of Commission
UK Broadcast Date: 18 Jan 04
A prize-winning author is murdered on the eve of the 12th
Annual Midsomer St Michael Literary Festival, but despite
the tragedy, sponsor Sam Callaghan is determined that the
event should go ahead. The organisers have persuaded a best-selling
'chick-lit' author, Jezebel Tripp, to attend and be part
of the judging panel for the Festival's lucrative literary
prize, though she rapidly begins to have second thoughts
about being there. When a blackout at the reception event
creates an opportunity for a second murder, Barnaby begins
an investigation that uncovers a hotbed of corruption, sexual
scandal and financial mismanagement. Barnaby is also concerned
that Cully is dating a man with a criminal past who may
be involved with the events at Midsomer St Michael.
