Midsomer Murders returns to TV
Midsomer Murders is back on our screens this Tuesday, July 23, with the third episode in series 23. The latest chapter follows hot on the heels of last week's The Debt of Lies, which itself came several months after the season opener in April.
In tonight's gripping episode, titled A Grain of Truth, DCI Barnaby and DS Winter are called to investigate a case involving poisoned rolls from a recently reopened bakery.
The official synopsis teases: "The world of organic baking begins to crumble after a series of incidents at the newly revamped Larkton's Mill."
Tonight's instalment boasts a stellar guest cast including Robert Gilbert as Tom Larkton and Rebecca Night as Chrissie Larkton, with Jo Martin featuring as Denise Bantrig and Paul Chahidi taking on the role of Gabriel Arnson, reports the Mirror.
Who are the guest stars in Midsomer Murders' A Grain of Truth?
Jo Martin as Denise Bantri
Denise Bantrig, portrayed by Jo Martin, is the feisty landlady of The Highwayman Inn who is less than pleased about the disruption Larkton's Mill is causing in the village.
Audiences may know Jo from her various roles such as in Doctor Who, The Crouches, and Holby City, where she played the character Max McGerry.
Robert Gilbert as Tom Larkton
Taking on the role of artisan baker Tom Larkton is Robert Gilbert, whose character, along with his patissiere wife Chrissie, has given her family's charming old water mill a modern makeover.
Robert Gilbert may be familiar to viewers from his performances in hit shows like Killing Eve, Insomnia, and Red Eye, as well as his appearance in Big Modd alongside Nicola Coughlan.
