Midsomer Murders enthusiasts might be used to Neil Dudgeon leading the show but it was John Nettles who originally breathed life into the iconic detective drama. ‌

For 14 years, actor Nettles served as Causton's local detective DCI Tom Barnaby alongside Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy (Daniel Casey) throughout the initial six series. ‌

The ITV sensation experienced a dramatic transformation when Tom chose to step down and embark on an "indefinite holiday" with his spouse Joyce (Jane Wymark), passing his responsibilities to his cousin John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon). ‌

Nettles had previously told The Telegraph that he believed it would be sensible to depart whilst viewers were still eager for more rather than continuing with the programme.
