What is For Death Prepare about?
The official synopsis is as follows: "The Midsomer Mummers, an amateur operatic society, are busy rehearsing for their charity concert when the body of an unknown man is found in their theatre. The investigation quickly becomes a race to discover who is desperate to be centre stage."
The cast and crew claim they don't know the deceased, and with "no identification and therefore no motive", the investigation isn't as straightforward as John Barnaby and Jamie Winter expected it to be.
The synopsis adds: "The pressure is on to identify the victim and unmask the killer before they can stage their showstopping final act."
Midsomer Murders cast
Neil Dudgeon returns as DCI John Barnaby, with Nick Hendrix by his side as DS Jamie Winter.
Fiona Dolman will also return as John's wife Sarah Barnaby, as well as Paddy the dog – the family's "faithful canine companion".
In season 20, EastEnders' Annette Badland joined the team as "formidable" new pathologist Dr Fleur Perkins, replacing pathologist Dr Kam Karimore (Manjinder Virk), who moved to Canada at the end of season 19. Badland remains a part of the cast.
Neil Dudgeon said: "The team thought it would be interesting to introduce a character who would test Barnaby, somebody with whom he would have a more provocative relationship, and Fleur does just that."
