Now in its 16th season on ITV in England, MIDSOMER MURDERS has been an international phenomenon since it first premiered in 1997. The pilot episode, "The Killings At Badger's Drift" was the highest-rated show on British television that year, and the series continues to garner stand-out ratings.

"Death Of A Hollow Man" (Parts One & Two) - In the village of Ferne Basset, an elderly resident is found drowned after a violent attack. Meanwhile, at the Corn Exchange in Causton, a local amateur dramatic production of Amadeus reveals a backstage world of intrigue, passion and gossip — and a whole new meaning to the term "corpsing" when there is a second murder.
