MIDSOMER MURDERS

DEAD IN THE WATER



 

It is the day of the annual Midsomer Regatta and Joyce is trying to persuade Barnaby to buy a boat but their peaceful day is interrupted by the discovery of a body in the river. Ladies' man Guy Sweetman was killed after arguing with his rowing club friends Phillip Trent and John Parkway. As Barnaby and Scott dig into the luxury lifestyles of the regatta set, they discover money problems and sexual jealousy are rife. Guy seems to have upset many people - but who killed him?

Olympic rower, 'Steve Redgrave' has a cameo role in the episode. He plays a rower whose boat knocks into the dead body! Brian True-May said he delivered his few lines very well as it is Redgrave's first attempt at acting!
