Midsomer Murders: Series 8 (DVD)

The English village mystery gets a contemporary spin in this hit British television series that has earned a worldwide following. Bucolic settings harbor macabre crimes and eccentric characters that are no match for nice-guy detective Tom Barnaby (John Nettles, Bergerac) and his assistant, Sergeant Dan Scott (John Hopkins, Love in a Cold Climate). Delightful in a murderously charming way (Leonard Maltin's Movie Crazy). Guest stars include Diana Quick, Harriet Walter, Oliver Ford Davies, Claire Higgins, and Annette Crosbie.
