The actor Barry Jackson, who has died aged 75, was a staple of British television for more than 50 years but it was not until he was in his 60s that he earned a degree of stardom, thanks to his portrayal of the pathologist Dr George Bullard in 76 episodes (1997-2011) of the popular mystery series Midsomer Murders.

One of the best shows on TV. PBS used to run them, but quit for some reason. There are a bunch more seasons I haven’t seen.
RIP.
Try Netflix.
Netflix has them. I rent them on DVD. Wonderful show.
Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby, my favorite TV cop. :)
They must have run out of inhabitants of the Midsommer area, due to killing an average of about 4 unlucky victims per episode.
He is definitely in my top five. I also really liked Roy Marsden as Adam Dalgliesh. Lately I have become very partial to Lt. Joe Kenda.
Great, thanks for the tip.
Have seen every episode of Midsomer Murders. Terrific show all around. RIP Mr Jackson..
Look for New Tricks, also British. It is hilarious.
Love New Tricks. Is hilarious. The theme song is not exactly what one expects from a Brit mystery series.
You realize that Dennis Waterman (Gerry Standing) wrote and performs it ?
Yes, I remember. I saw an interview with him talking about it. Apparently that kind of music is his thang.
