    Midsomer Murders: The Killings at Badger‘s Drift on stage – First Performance Impressions

    by Petra Tabarelli

    It was Friday, 24 October 2025, when the stage adaption of Midsomer Murders: The Killings at Badger’s Drift opened at the Richmond Theatre — outside the Richmond Theatre, there was an expectant, bustling atmosphere. A mix of ages and dress codes – from smart casual to properly turned out – milled about the foyer, heading towards the stalls or making their way up to...

Henry Hogson & Co. in Midsomer Murders

Note: As this post is about Midsomer history, I won’t be mentioning any recent Midsomer celebrities such as top model Lizzy Thornfield, F1 champion Duncan Palmer, horror film actress Stella Harris or folk...

Open for Conversation & Cooperation

Hello, I’m Petra Tabarelli – Midsomer Murders fan and a cultural historian with a fascination for Englishness, nostalgia and the atmospheres that shape stories.

This is an unofficial fan project, curated simply out of curiosity and affection for Midsomer Murders.

What began as a small archive grew into a long-term exploration of the show’s landscapes, histories and the subtle ways it plays with memory and myth.

I map places, trace recurring themes and look at how Englishness is evoked – sometimes faithfully, sometimes playfully, always with a touch of theatre.

Nothing here is official or affiliated – just carefully gathered research, observations and the kind of details I love noticing.

If you enjoy wandering through these layers as much as I do, you’re very welcome.

I once joined the official Midsomer Murders podcast for a small quiz, which was great fun. You can hear me in the superfan quiz in episode 6: “Murder on St Malley’s Day“, episode 13: “The Ballad of Midsomer County“, and episode 15: “The Dark Rider“.

•••

I am also a proud member of the Midsomer Murders Society.

 

I would like to point out that this is an unofficial fan site. I am not connected to Bentley Productions, ITV or the actors.

Behind the Lace Curtains – Midsomer Murders as a Tale with Two Englishnesses

by Petra Tabarelli

When people speak of Midsomer Murders, they tend to see it at once: a lane shaded by hawthorn, manor walls half-hidden by wisteria, the brass band on the village green where children run barefoot. Caroline Graham’s Inspector Barnaby stories – the first five forming the bones of the pilot and the early series – draw deliberately on that image. They echo the interwar idea...
