Beloved drama Midsomer Murders returned to our screens with a new instalment last night (23rd July), and one aspect of it left some viewers a little surprised.
After the show came back last week following a three-month hiatus, new episode A Grain of Truth followed. The narrative saw a trendy organic bakery in a restored mill cause resentment in the village and several people dosed with a dangerous hallucinogenic. When the first death occurred, DCI John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) and DS Jamie Winter (Nick Hendrix) got busy trying to work out whodunnit.
The guest cast featured Doctor Who's Jo Martin, Paul Chahidi from This Country and Footballers' Wives star Laila Rouass.

Fans of the show were left somewhat perplexed by one particular factor in the new episode, namely that there wasn’t a death for absolutely ages.
As regular viewers of the long-running ITV show will know, usually someone bites the dust pretty early in each episode, and then our intrepid detectives spend the rest of the time working out who the culprit is.
However, last night, it took over half-an-hour for anyone to meet their maker, and viewers took to social media to exclaim their surprise at the delay.
One fan wrote: “35 mins in and not one Murder! #midsomermurders!!!!"
Another added: “Midsomer NO Murders #MidsomerMurders.”
A viewer said: “Credits have rolled and no one's dead yet?!”
Someone else lamented: “A bit of a slow, boring episode today. 😐 #midsomermurders”
One person rather harshly suggested: "The only murder in #MidsomerMurders is the acting."
The episode featured Fiona Dolman as Sarah Barnaby, Annette Badland as Fleur Perkins, Robert Gilbert as Tom Larkton, Martin Trenaman as Silas Bantrig, and more.
Despite some people being eager for the first murder, viewers enjoyed the ensemble cast, with one fan writing: “Thoroughly enjoying watching @TrenamanMartin and Jo Martin guest star in tonight’s #MidsomerMurders: A Grain of Truth. Cracking talent, great episode.”
Another added: “Lovely to see @therealjomartin on #MidsomerMurders and of course forgiven for baking cursed cake…”
