MIDSOMER MURDERS
TALKING TO THE DEAD
MAIN CHARACTERS/ROLES
Lynton Pargeter - Paul Jesson
Lynton is the last of the Pargeters who have owned The Priory for over 200 years. He's something of a charmer, but his antiques business is failing to offset his overdraft.
Cyrus Levanu - Jeroen Krabbé
A self-professed psychic, Cyrus is author of several books, veteran of TV shows and believes his own publicity. He was a bit of a hippy in his youth when the crystals and psychic powers business began.
Rev Wallace Stone - Anton Lesser
Rev Stone is a pompous clergyman who sees himself as the spiritual arbiter and moral lodestone of Bow Clayton. He's prim and distressingly proper, causing problems with his wife. The appearance of Cyrus Levanu on his patch is like a red rag to a bull.
Sarah Stone - Victoria Wicks
Sarah has been married to Stone for 12 lean years and realised quickly it was a mistake. She's been having an affair with someone in the village which she hopes will be a step to a new life.
Sam Nelms - Bill Ward
Sam is the local postman - a bright guy from a poor background who's somewhat light-fingered and doesn't take life too seriously.
John Temple - Paul Greenwood
Temple is rumpled, divorced and likes a drink. He runs Temple Antiques and has been in the business a long time. He knows his stuff and isn't averse to a bit of 'black' trading.
Dr Mary McKay - Anne Lambton
Dr McKay is the resident behavioural psychiatrist at The Pines, a local psychiatric clinic. She's unconventional, looks it, and believes in unconventional methods.
Stanley and Nesta Goodfellow - Richard Graham and Elizabeth Payne
Stanley is the gamekeeper and odd-job man of The Priory. He knows every inch of the countryside around Bow Clayton. All is not happy between him and his wife Nesta.
Colin and Molly Thomas - Brian Parr and Sarah Huntley
Colin is the manager of a woodyard near Bow Clayton. He and Molly are in their 40s.
