Where was John Barnaby stationed before transferring to Midsomer’s Causton CID?
MIDSOMER MURDERS is a Saturday night staple ’round these parts. PBS NC has been airing the UK import since the summer of 2014. It’s proven to be very popular with viewers and so far we’ve broadcast 21 seasons. The show initially followed DCI Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) but when he left after series 13 his cousin John stepped in to fill his shoes. So DCI John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) is the current detective on duty when the quaint county of Midsomer falls victim to the odd case of manslaughter.
The character of John Barnaby first appeared in Nettles’ last season when the copper cousins joined forces. It seemed a natural fit then for the DCI to move to Midsomer when Tom retired.
So the question concerns John’s original posting (original as seen in the series). Where was it? Where was DCI John Barnaby stationed before transferring to Midsomer’s Causton CID on MIDSOMER MURDERS?
He was a DCI in Brighton. In fact, during “The Sword of Guillaume” in series 13, Tom’s work took him to Brighton where he teamed up with John on his home turf.
