Where Do I Know That Actor?

When a ghost village reopens, death cannot be far behind. And so was the premise of “The Village That Rose From The Dead” – for my money, the saddest MIDSOMER MURDERS story EVER (R.I.P. Sykes). However, once my eyes dried up, I noticed ten – count ’em, TEN! – guest stars from other British fare. Let’s meet them all.

While technically not a guest star, this episode did introduce a new Detective Sergeant for Barnaby (adios, Nelson). Nick Hendrix plays DS Winter and he really hasn’t appeared in much else we’ve shown. There was a guest role on Call The Midwife and Foyle’s War but that’s really it.

Catherine Steadman was eco-village proponent Corina Craven. She may be best known as Mabel Lane Fox, Viscountess Gillingham, in series five of Downton Abbey. She was also Angela Wilson in Breathless and Julia Bertram in Mansfield Park.

Angus Wright played local landowner Roderick Craven. He was seen late last year as General Rodney Pickering in Cobra. Going back a bit, he was Severus in Warrior Queen and Miles Grendall in The Way We Live Now.
