MIDSOMER MURDERS
THE NOBLE ART
MAIN CHARACTERS/ROLES
Gerald Farquaharson - Kevin R McNally
Lord of the Manor who genuinely
cares about the village of Midsomer Morchard. He's popular, warm,
avuncular and self-effacing with a love of sport. He's also a gambler.
Sebastian Farquaharson - Matthew Douglas
Gerald's son Sebastian is a big
second row forward with a bovine personality. He's confrontational
and shows little warmth, even to his wife.
Camilla Farquaharson - Daniela Denby-Ashe
Sebastian's wife Camilla is
attractive and desperate to please. She has a skittish vulnerability
which she knows how to turn to her advantage.
Giles Braithwaite - Ken Bones
A contemporary of Gerald
Farquaharson at Oxford, Giles is a dry solicitor whose wry smile
betrays a more hedonistic life away from the office.
Iris Holman - Michelle Fairley
Iris is Giles' assistant. She's
buttoned up and repressed and her bitterness is not helped by her
unrequited love for her boss.
Frank Bishop - Glen Murphy
A boxing promoter and self-made
man from the East End of London, Frank is a ruthless and duplicitous
wheeler-dealer, perceived as a likeable rough diamond by those who
don't know him so well.
Grace Bishop - Camille Coduri
Frank's wife Grace is earthy,
no-nonsense and says what she thinks. She's friendly, warm and caring
with no airs to her, but doesn't hide her antipathy for her husband.
Teddy Molloy - Phil Daniels
An ex-boxer turned trainer who is
still fit and wiry. He's guarded and subdued around Frank Bishop, but
expansive with Grace and Kinsella.
John Kinsella - Henry Garrett
John Kinsella is a middleweight
boxer who was rescued from an institution as a boy. He's a womaniser
but very personable, so is consequently tolerated and liked.
Libby Morris - Deirdre Mullins
In her late 20s, Libby is a
sculptor. She's engaged to Ken Tuohy but is resentful at being
shackled by bourgeois conventions.
Ronnie Milsom - Tony Barton
Ronnie is a Midsomer bookmaker
who's down on his luck.
Ken Tuohy - Daniel Llewelyn-Williams
A big muscular blacksmith, Ken's
resentment at having to take second place to his fiancée's
work is further stoked by a suspicion that she's having an affair.
