Barnaby's social life revolves around his wife Joyce and his daughter Cully, who often provide a personal connection with the crimes that he is investigating. Barnaby's parents are both deceased by the episode "Blue Herrings". In his last appearance, "Fit for Murder", we learn that his father died on his birthday, at Barnaby's current age.
DS Gavin Troy[edit]
Detective Sergeant (later Inspector) Gavin Troy (Daniel Casey) (main: series 1-7; guest: series 11)—DCI Barnaby's first assistant. Troy is bright and ambitious. Early in the series, Troy is also known for his careless driving, causing a number of near-accidents (which does not stop at all, even in his final/guest appearance). Troy is also prejudiced towards gay people (in the very first episode, "The Killings at Badger's Drift", he shows his discomfort by using a slur against the gay undertaker & in the episode "Blue Herrings", he uses a slur against a character who he perceives as being gay) and the elderly, referring to them as "wrinklies". In "Market For Murder" and "Destroying Angel" Troy provides valuable insight, finding out how the killers committed the murders, so oddly it was not Barnaby who solved those cases. In "Painted In Blood", Barnaby is forbidden to take part in the investigation, but Troy supplies him with information. Later on, Barnaby is taken hostage in a bank robbery and might have died until Troy sneaked in and attacked the robber, yet at the same Troy would himself have been killed had Barnaby not stepped in, but together they overpower the robber. Troy's relationship with Barnaby is warm, and the two make a formidable pair. Troy was promoted to Inspector and transferred in the first episode of the seventh series, called "The Green Man".[1] Troy makes one re-appearance in the first episode of Series 11, "Blood Wedding", to attend the wedding of Tom's daughter, Cully Barnaby (whom he once secretly kissed, which temporarily strained his relationship with Barnaby), where he met his second successor, Sgt Jones.[2]
Dr. George Bullard[edit]
Doctor George Bullard (Barry Jackson) (series 1-14)—Causton's resident pathologist. Bullard goes about his work with a professional skill and a cheery personality. He is a good friend of Tom Barnaby's and has been a regular throughout the series (save for a brief spell, when his place was taken by Dr. Dan Peterson played by Toby Jones). In later episodes, Bullard has often played a greater role in the plot, even making a sterling appearance in the Midsomer Worthy Choir in "Death in Chorus". In one episode, he admits to the "accidental" death of his first wife while on tour at a slaughter house. At the end of "The Oblong Murders", Bullard tells Barnaby that he's going to take some time off: "I've decided to do some fishing. Like Tom. He suggested a holiday in Ireland.", which is most likely his retirement (like Tom).
Joyce Barnaby[edit]
Joyce Barnaby (Jane Wymark) (series 1-13)—DCI Tom Barnaby's long-suffering wife. She is tolerant of her husband, despite his being a workaholic who spent their honeymoon solving the case of the "Pimlico Poisoner", which suggests that they met in London. Joyce is an easy-going and friendly woman who likes to be involved in community activities. She has long possessed a desire to move out of their Causton home and into one of the picturesque Midsomer villages—only to be put off by the grisly murders that occur there. She's known to her family as an experimental, but not always successful, cook. Thus, Tom is often seen taking advantage of every opportunity to dine out. She married Tom in 1973 and their only child, Cully, was born five years later in 1978. Her parents are called Muriel and Douglas.
DS Dan Scott[edit]
Detective Sergeant Daniel "Dan" Scott (John Hopkins) (series 7-8)—is a lot cockier than his predecessor DS Troy; he is a Londoner who was not thrilled at being transferred from the Metropolitan Police Service to Midsomer, which he regards as the "sticks". His relationship with Tom was prickly at first; but it mellowed into a slightly awkward marriage of convenience, with Barnaby still disapproving of Scott's methods and Scott grudgingly starting to respect Barnaby. In "The Straw Woman", Scott develops a love interest who is brutally murdered. The episode is notable for Barnaby's lack of sympathy for Scott. Scott's departure from the show was abrupt. In "The House in the Woods", Barnaby describes Scott as having called him to say he was sick and thus unable to come to work. Barnaby invites Ben Jones to assist him on that case. After this incident, no more is heard from Scott, and Jones becomes the new deputy.
DS Ben Jones[edit]
Detective Sergeant (later Inspector) (previously Police and Detective Constable) Benjamin "Ben" Jones (Jason Hughes) (main: series 9-15; guest: series 19)[3]—Jones is Tom Barnaby's third (and longest serving) junior as well as being the only one to serve opposite both of the Barnaby cousins. Unlike Troy and Scott, who first appeared on the series as plain-clothed detective sergeants, Jones was a uniformed police constable when he was first introduced. Jones was first appointed as a Detective Constable, as well as Barnaby's second-in-command (after assisting Barnaby during Sgt Scott's absence), and promoted to Detective Sergeant by the end of his first series. Jones is considerably less naive than Troy or Scott, possessing an insight into cases that neither would have. Jones was born in Wales and remarks about his love for Wales when he and Tom travel there in the episode "Death and Dust". He used to be a Freemason, as revealed in "King's Crystal". In the episode "Death in Chorus", Jones exhibits a remarkable vocal talent and is recruited to sing tenor in the Midsomer Worthy choir. In "Death in the Slow Lane", it is revealed that Jones was interested in replacing Tom Barnaby upon his retirement and was a little put out by his cousin, John Barnaby, being transferred to the position instead. In reality, he could not have been given the post because it would have required him to bypass the rank of inspector. In "Murder Of Innocence", it is revealed that Jones is in a relationship with firefighter Susie Bellingham. In the series 16 opener, "The Christmas Haunting", it is revealed that Jones had been promoted to Inspector and transferred to Brighton. A photo of Jones (alongside Kate Wilding, who also moved to Brighton) is shown in the series 18 opener "Habeas Corpus". DI Jones made a further appearance in episode 3 of series 19 "Last Man Out", in an undercover role - erroneously still listed in the credits as DS Ben Jones.
DCI John Barnaby[edit]
Detective Chief Inspector John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) (guest: series 13; main: series 14-present)—Barnaby transferred from Brighton to Midsomer's Causton CID to replace his older cousin, Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby, when Barnaby retired. He has a degree in Psychology from Durham University, which earned him some ribbing from DS Jones when he first arrived; however, despite a rocky start, the two make a formidable team. Barnaby lives in a large country cottage with his wife Sarah, daughter Betty, and their dog Sykes (later Paddy). He first makes a guest appearance in the series 13 episode, "The Sword of Guillaume" before taking over in the series 14 premiere, "Death in the Slow Lane." Dudgeon actually made his first appearance on the show not as John Barnaby, but as womanising gardener Daniel Bolt in the series 4 opener "Garden of Death".
Sarah Barnaby[edit]
Sarah Barnaby (Fiona Dolman) (series 14-present)—John Barnaby's wife is the headmistress of a local secondary school. As she has a full-time career of her own (unlike Joyce), she does not figure as much in her husband's cases; and they don't have any children (until the end of the sixteenth series), although you may consider Sykes, their dog, as their child. Despite this, they have a loving marriage and celebrated their fifteen-year anniversary in "Schooled for murder". Throughout the sixteenth series Sarah is pregnant and in the last episode of the series she gives birth to their first child, a daughter, called Betty.
Dr. Kate Wilding[edit]
Doctor Kate Wilding (Tamzin Malleson) (series 14-17)—Dr George Bullard's replacement as resident pathologist. Her confident, competent, no-nonsense approach has earned the detectives' respect. She is unmarried and is also a professor. Her parents, Giles and Laura, have appeared in one episode, "The Flying Club".[4] In the series 18 opener, "Habeas Corpus", Wilding has left Midsomer to take up a professorship in Brighton. She is briefly seen on-screen in a photo with Ben Jones, who had previously relocated to Brighton.
DS Charlie Nelson[edit]
Detective Sergeant Charlie Nelson (Gwilym Lee) (series 16-18)—When Jones was promoted, he was replaced by DS Charlie Nelson. Nelson was the first Sergeant to not serve alongside Tom Barnaby. He was a lodger at Kate's house. Nelson left the series after season 18.
Dr. Kam Karimore[edit]
Doctor Kam Karimore (Manjinder Virk) (series 18-19)—Dr Kate Wilding's replacement as resident pathologist. She said that she grew up with four red setters and a Labrador. At the end of series 19 she has taken a job in Montreal.[5]
DS Jamie Winter[edit]
Detective Sergeant Jamie Winter (Nick Hendrix) (series 19- )— At the beginning of series 19 DS Jamie Winter arrived. It is revealed that Winter had previously crossed paths with Dr Kam Karimore.
Supporting characters[edit]
DC Gail Stephens[edit]
Detective Constable Gail Stephens (Kirsty Dillon) (series 10-13)—a colleague of Tom Barnaby and DS Jones, who often helps them in their cases, sometimes providing valuable insight. Gail was transferred to Midsomer from Binwell. Gail is cheery but emotional, breaking down in tears when, after initially serving as a uniformed woman police constable, she was appointed as a plain-clothed CID detective. Throughout Gail's appearances, it is implied that she is on the point of having an affair with Sgt Jones, but when it came to the crunch he decided that he did not want to get too heavily involved with a colleague, after which Gail effectively snubbed him. Strangely, Gail has not been seen since "Fit For Murder".
Cully Barnaby[edit]
Cully Barnaby (later Dixon) (Laura Howard) (series 1-13)—Tom and Joyce's only child takes her first name from a village on Lake Geneva in Switzerland, where she was conceived during her parents' honeymoon. An inquisitive and bold young woman, she's inherited her parents' friendly attitudes and community spirit. Early in the series, she attended Cambridge University and dated a fellow drama student, called Nico. After that, she sometimes went out with and secretly flirted with DS Troy and DS Scott. She is an actress and frequently takes temporary jobs in the Midsomer area when "resting" between assignments. Like her mother, her tendency to do community work often leaves her personally involved with the murders that take place. She meets Simon Dixon (Sam Hazeldine) in "The Axeman Cometh", becomes engaged to him in "Death In A Chocolate Box", and marries him in "Blood Wedding". Laura Howard had far fewer appearances than her on-screen parents.
Minor characters[edit]
Nick Thomas-Webster relaxing on the set of Midsomer Murders "Left for Dead" in 2008.
Other minor characters have also spanned their appearances across more than one episode. Solicitor James Jocelyne (Timothy Bateson) appeared in "Written in Blood", "Death's Shadow", and "Orchis Fatalis". Estate agent Olive Beauvoisin (Eileen Davies) appeared in "Death's Shadow", "Dead Man’s Eleven", and "Hidden Depths" (but was credited in that particular episode only as "Estate Agent"). Charles Jennings (Terence Corrigan) appeared in the same two[clarification needed] episodes. David Whitely (Christopher Villiers) appeared in "The Killings at Badger's Drift" and "Death's Shadow". Dave Hicks (Brian Capron), Mayor of Causton, appeared in "Shot at Dawn" and "The Sword Of Guillaume". Acting Chief Superintendent John Cotton (Nick Fletcher) appears in "Days of Misrule" and "The Dogleg Murders".
Many actors have made repeat appearances, but in different roles. In "Hidden Depths", John Lightbody is gardener Steve Hope, but in "Death and Dust", he plays the role of Jason Slater. Richard Hope appeared in "Judgement Day" as Gordon Brierly, the local veterinarian, and seven years later reappeared in the episode "They Seek Him Here", this time as local actor and historian Neville Hayward. Samantha Bond starred in three episodes: first in "Destroying Angel" (2001) and "Shot at Dawn" (2008), and again in Neil Dudgeon's 2011 debut as lead character, being the episode "Death in the Slow Lane". Elizabeth Spriggs and Richard Cant appeared in the first-ever episode ("The Killings at Badger's Drift"), as mother and son Iris and Dennis Rainbird; they appeared again in "Dead Letters", this time as Iris' sister Ursula Gooding and her son Alistair. Kevin Doyle appeared as Ferdy Villiers in "Ghosts of Christmas Past," 2004, and again as Paddy Powell in "The Oblong Murders," 2011. Neil Dudgeon, the Chief Inspector John Barnaby, appeared for the first time as Daniel Bolt, a character in the episode "Garden of Death" (2000). Rupert Vansittart appeared in three episodes: as Selwyn Proctor in "Market for Murder" (2002), as Desmond Harcourt in "The Axeman Cometh" (2007), and as Alistair Kingslake in "The Dogleg Murders" (2009). Dominic Jephcott first appeared as Richard Bayly in "Death's Shadow" (1999) and was later cast as Henry Marwood/Benjamin Hastings in "Four Funerals and a Wedding" (2006). David Bamber has played John Starkey in "Dead Letters" (2006), Anthony Prideaux in "The Black Book" (2009) and Daniel Fargo in "A Dying Art" (2016).
