Happy Advent from Midsomer Tours

Window nº 2
HENLEY-ON-THAMES, Oxfordshire

Henley Town Hall and Market Place feature in scenes from “Last Year’s Model” (episode 51, series 9). Annie Woodrow is in court, charged with the murder of her best friend. The area outside of the court building is filmed at Henley Town Hall (seen here) and Market Place, although the courtroom and anteroom are at Kingston-upon-Thames 30 miles away!

Barnaby (John Nettles) is unconvinced about Annie’s guilt and has a discussion with clinical psychologist Pru Plunkett (Siobhan Redmond) about the case, with DS Ben Jones in attendance. That scene takes place in the bar of the Argyll pub, in Henley Market Place. Henley Bridge also features in the opening sequence as the prison van drives across. Later, Jones is “persuaded” to hide in a wardrobe and, upon hearing the signal from an air-horn, jumps out to catch the culprit.

Other episodes with scenes filmed in Henley-on-Thames include:
Dead in the Water, Down Among the Dead Men, The Black Book, The Magician’s Nephew, A Sacred Trust, The Lions of Causton.

The Blue Badge Guides from Midsomer Tours (Bobbie, Debs and Graham) are all fans of the series. We all live in the area and know the locations and episodes well. We can take you on coach and walking tours of many Midsomer Murders filming locations.

Window nº 4
OLD AMERSHAM, Buckinghamshire

Sometimes the Midsomer Murders crew leaves its spiritual home in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and goes further afield, as in the 100th episode “The Killings of Copenhagen” (episode 100, series 16) which was mainly filmed in Denmark. Our budget does not stretch as far as to follow them. However, other scenes were shot closer to home in Old Amersham. The High Street and the town hall (pictured) are often used for positioning shots, and the old maltings, a short distance away, doubled as the Calder biscuit factory, where the culprit was eventually tracked down.

Amersham is often used in other films and TV series, most famously in the film “Four Weddings and a Funeral” (not to be confused with Midsomer’s “Four Funerals and a Wedding”).

Other episodes with scenes filmed in Amersham include:
Blue Herrings, Dead Man’s Eleven, Death in Disguise, Death of a Hollow Man, Sauce for the Goose, The Killings at Badger’s Drift, The Killings of Copenhagen, Who Killed Cock Robin?

Window nº 3
HAMBLEDEN, Buckinghamshire

This farm, just outside the village of Hambleden, has been used in at least two episodes including “Death of the Small Coppers” (episode 118, series 20). The story is not about little police officers dying. It refers to butterflies of that name, and Barnaby’s investigation into the death of a butterfly collector who is also a founding member of an elite society, Circulus. Danish actress Ann Eleonora Jørgensen reprises her role from “The Killings of Copenhagen” to assist Barnaby and Winter.

Hambleden village itself is well-known to the Midsomer Murders crew. It includes a small vehicle-repair garage that has been used in four different episodes, the obligatory pub and church, and a village street that just oozes Midsomer. Nearby, at Mill End, the lock, weir, and mill on the River Thames are very familiar for the times when the script calls for a drowning or river scene.

Other episodes with scenes filmed in Hambleden or Mill End include:
A Dying Art, A Vintage Murder, Blood Will Out, Death of the Small Coppers, Down Among the Dead Men, Strangler’s Wood, The Glitch, Who Killed Cock Robin? Wild Harvest, The Animal Within.

Window nº 1
LITTLE MISSENDEN, Buckinghamshire

This was where it all began. Much of the filming of the pilot episode, “The Killings at Badger’s Drift” (episode 1, series 1) took place here. This is still mentioned by some people as their favourite episode.

In the beginning there was no name for the county of Midsomer. Caroline Graham did not refer to Midsomer in her books, although she does mention Causton, and some real places in the area such as Uxbridge and Slough. There is even a rumour that the pilot was provisionally titled “The Missenden Murders”. Later, the name Midsomer is believed to have come from Midsomer Norton in Somerset.

Little Missenden has been used for the filming of many subsequent episodes, most notably the church, the Red Lion pub and The Manor House (seen here).

Other episodes with scenes filmed in Little Missenden include:
Bantling Boy, Dead Letters, Death and Dust, Destroying Angel, Four Funerals and a Wedding, Picture of Innocence, Small Mercies, Talking to the Dead, The Killings at Badger’s Drift, The Village the Rose from the Dead, Who Killed Cock Robin? Echoes of the Dead.
