Midsomer Murders The Christmas Haunting
Midsomer Murders returned to ITV tonight with a new story that was set in Britain’s “most haunted” town. In the opening minutes of The Christmas Haunting, the first unfortunate victim of the night had a brief and fatal encounter with an antique sword. Some of the locals were horrified while others tried to cash-in by linking the killing with the ghouls that are at the heart of the local tourist trade. Ever the realist, Barnaby quickly dismissed the supernatural links and began identifying suspects who stood to gain from the victim’s death. As something of a lady’s man with a penchant for married women, the slain man had no shortage of enemies. Things got ever more complicated as the local pub landlord was revealed to be a rival Casanova but before long he too was bludgeoned to death. As the investigation progressed...

Midsomer Murders 2013
Midsomer Murders returns to ITV this Christmas with a haunting tale but perhaps even more excitingly, there is a baby on the way. Actress Fiona Dolman became pregnant during filming so the show’s creators decided to use her happy event to their advantage by writing a pregnancy into Midsomer Murders. The onscreen baby won’t be seen until next year but as the Christmas episode unfolds, Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) and his wife Sarah (Fiona Dolman) are already making plans for the new arrival.
Another new face in town will be Charlie Nelson (Gwilym Lee). He is immediately called into action to help Barnaby investigate a murder involving an antique sword and a group of ghost hunters. Did the killing involve the supernatural or is there a more mundane explanation for the baffling crime? Guest stars in The Christmas Haunting include Les Dennis and Elizabeth Berrington.

The Midsomer Murders Christmas special will feature a surprise twist, as Dci Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) and his wife Sarah (Fiona Dolman) discover that they are expecting a baby.
The new arrival was written into the ITV detective series when Dolman discovered she was pregnant. Her baby, Madeleine Charlotte, was born in July.
"I didn't think I'd ever have a child so I feel very blessed," said the single mum. "I am very happy to bring up the baby on my own as I have incredible support and love from my family.
"Things might not be perfect but from the moment I held Madeleine in my arms we felt like a team. I've got so much love around me, so I know we're going to be all right.
"Everyone on Midsomer Murders has been so supportive and lovely. I went back in October to film the fifth episode and Neil was very excited for me.
