MIDSOMER MURDERS
DEATH IN CHORUS
Both Joyce & Bullard are enthusiastic members of the Midsomer Worthy Choir, but rehearsals for a forthcoming contest are distinctly 'off song'. The conductor is pursuing a personal feud with a rival but problems really excaberate when the lead tenor is found brutally beatened to death.
Barnaby & Jones have to
uncover a web of fractured relationships & fraud among the choir
members in order to unmask the murderer & prevent further deaths.
Both detectives find themselves getting very wet in the process.
Jones reveals hidden talents as we (literally) get to see a lot more
of him than usual.!! Bullard meanwhile,contributes to saving the day musically.
'Death in Chorus' marks the 50th episode of Midsomer Murders and the cast and crew celebrated with a glass of champagne.
