I could not imagine being a solicitor in Midsomer.
Just imagine trying to defend someone crushing the victim to death with cheese or catapulting someone with bottles of wine

He taught me to listen, not just to what is being said but to what isn't. And he taught me to follow where the evidence leads, not where you think it ought to go.

Leo: “He has to answer the question, he has 30 seconds.”
John: “What question?”
Leo: “You see, you come to a fork in the road, two people are standing there. One is an angel that will always tell the truth, and one is a devil that will always lie. One road leads to life, one road leads to death. You have to ask one of them a question to determine the routes to life. You don't know which one you're asking, though. Well, what is the only question you can to ascertain the correct answer?”
Jamie: “I really don't mind if you take this one, sir. Not a problem.”
John: “Leo, don't do this.”
Leo: “10!”
Penny: “No, please don't!”
Birgitte: “If I was to ask the other one which way to go, what would they say? And then you do the opposite. Yes?”
John: “Yes?”
Leo: “That's that. It has to be him that to answer details. Details! Five!”
jamie: “Okay, if I was to ask the other one... which way to go what would they say. ( Beeping ) And then you do the opposite!”
Leo: “You're too late.”
John: “No, Jamie!”

The Dan Scott era of Midsomer Murders is just Barnaby clicking his fingers and making Scott do all the physical labour while he just watches

ScreenPlay: Road (BBC, 1987)
"Everyone's worried sick for you, you know. You can't just do this!"
"Why not?"
"Oh, come on. We all feel like this some time. But life must go on."
"Why?"
#screenplay#road#alan clarke#jim cartwright#single play#1987#neil dudgeon#jane horrocks#andrew wilde#william armstrong#willy ross#mossie smith#barbara keogh#moya brady#alan david#david thewlis#lesley sharp#susan brown#tim dantay#i throw around the word masterpiece a little too liberally i suspect‚ and have used it several times to describe works by Clarke; but it's#inescapable here. a seminal moment in british television‚ and one of the single greatest play adaptations ever screened‚ simultaneously#fiercely loyal to its stage origins without being tied down or encumbered by them. Cartwright speaks glowingly of Clarke as a collaborator#and it's not hard to see why: his restlessly prowling steadicam moving from derelict house to derelict house allows Road to fulfil its#destiny as wandering theatre‚ something the stage could never quite achieve. a fierce polemic on thatcherite britain and the aching poverty#and waste of a ruined generation. not that this is pure naturalism: a few minutes in Andrew Wilde‚ having tormented his sister‚ turns to#the camera and screams and suddenly you know you're not watching just any old kitchen sink drama‚ this is something different‚ this is some#kind of primal howl. two sinister young men dress in sharp suits ready for a night out; two young girls argue with their respective family#members; an older man reminisces hopelessly about times past; a young man is starving himself to death in a condemned house. and in the#dead centre‚ Lesley Sharp delivers one of the most devastating‚ affecting monologues ever written‚ as she stalks the desolate streets and#tries to keep herself from going mad with the grief and the horror and the pointlessness of it all. tv was a medium created for such scenes

For Neil Dudgeon, Midsomer Murders is certainly not the only role to his name. He's appeared in numerous British shows, including Common As Muck, The Bill and Life Of Riley. He even played a taxi driver in the 2004 film Bridget Jones: Edge Of Reason.
But it's for the role of DCI John Barnaby, which he's played since 2011, that he's best known. And he's fine with that.
"I've only been working as an actor for about 37 years, so more than a quarter of my career has been spent on Midsomer Murders," Neil, 62, tells TV WEEK.
"I carry on doing it because it's a fun show. We film in beautiful places, we've got lovely buildings and it's a joy to have different guest actors each week, who bring fresh energy."
As I get older, I do think whether it and I are ever going to end. But then I reason that unless I stopped acting altogether, why would anybody in their right mind not do Midsomer?"
Given the picturesque locations, you wonder whether Neil is ever tempted to move to the fictional county of Midsomer.
"I live in London and when we're filming, I'll think, 'Ooh, this is a lovely place. I could get a nice house here,'" Neil says. "But I grew up in a town and have lived in big cities ever since and I feel that if I moved to the countryside, I'd go outside, breathe in the fresh air and think, 'Ahh, lovely… now what am I going to do here?'"
The actor would cause a bit of a stir living in a Midsomer-like village, because he's pretty recognisable.
"Barnaby has this suit-and-tie image, but, here's an international exclusive…" Neil begins, before standing up and backing away from the camera on our Zoom call to reveal he's wearing khaki shorts.
"It's the type of thing I tend to wear when it's warm. They're very un-Barnaby, so I'm not sure I'd be that recognised."
Midsomer is known for its flamboyant means of murder in its 23 seasons since 1997. Which have been favourites?
"Murray Melvin playing Bentham DeQuetteville in 'The Dark Rider', falling to his death having seen a headless horseman, is something that doesn't happen around our house every day," Neil says.
"Martine McCutcheon, as Debbie Moffett, was killed by a giant round of cheese in 'Schooled In Murder'. And, of course, Neil McCaul as Martin Strickland in 'Wild Harvest' being covered in truffle oil and then eaten alive by a wild boar was very inventive."
It's no wonder Neil's offsider, Nick Hendrix, 38, who plays DS Jamie Winter, confesses he often gets the giggles during filming – although he blames Neil.
"Neil keeps a very straight face, but he does it to trap me!" he says. "He has a little twinkle in his eye, which sets me off. It looks like I'm the one ruining filming and he's being very serious and professional, but actually he started it.” 
"The thing with Midsomer and Neil is it's like that old friend you don't see very often, but when you do, you slip straight back into the patter and banter. The crew are almost always the same every time, so there's something lovely about turning up and seeing all these familiar, lovely faces. Within seconds, it's like we've never been away."
