Midsomer Murders review: Death by self-inflating dinghy? Yes, TV's best-dressed detectives are back! writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS

Everyone jokes that Midsomer has the highest murder rates on earth, worse even than Mexico or Haiti. What they forget is that it also has the world's best crime clear-up statistics. There's a simple reason for that: sartorial standards. Detectives on Midsomer Murders (ITV) still know how to dress properly. DI Barnaby and his sidekick Winter are the last two policemen on earth who wear a suit and tie, with the top buttons of their shirts fastened. DS Winter even favours a waistcoat, and lace-up shoes that he keeps shiny with polish. In most other British forces, the three-piece suit is as outdated as a bowler hat and furled umbrella. Young Morse in his scruffy cords, Vera in that awful mac and shapeless hat, even Jimmy Perez with his Shetland knitwear, they could all learn something from Midsomer. Smart suits are the only plausible explanation for the swiftness with which Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) solved a mystery that appeared to satirise Britain's lockdown panic.

A £3,000 sculpture of a very well endowed female nude was the most expensive thing actress Annette Badland has ever bought for fun. Since being shot to fame in the BBC's Bergerac in the 1980s, the 73-year-old award-winning actress has rarely been out of work. She has appeared in Dr. Perkins' debut in Midsomer Murders and Babe Smith in EastEnders, as well as in the Apple TV+ comedy film Ted Lasso. Donna Ferguson actors live a privileged life,' and giving back is a huge responsibility. She is an ambassador for Target Ovarian Cancer and lives in East London with her partner, actor David Hatton.

"Ted Lasso" has returned for season three to bring us our all-loved AFC Richmond fix. Although it's comforting to see the familiar football ground, changing rooms, and finally reintroducing dart board on our televisions, you can actually live and breathe the show by booking to stay in the pub. Yes, the two-bedroom The Crown & Anchor pub, which Ted (Jason Sudeikis) and co. frequented, is open for business for just £11 a night. Well, the 11 is a nod to the number of footballers on a squad. The pub is actually located in Richmond, but it's non-showbiz version is The Prince's Head, and it's being advertised on Airbnb for a one-off event. And who will be hosting the lucky fans? Mae (Annette Badland), Richmond's number one fan and landlady, isn't the only one who hasn't been to landlady and AFC Richmond. Four visitors will stay for a hat trick (or three nights) from 23-25 October 2023, and reservations will open on March 21st 6 p.m. You've been dreaming of playing a round of darts, bouncing on a karaoke session, or trying a box of Ted's homemade biscuits. Well, you may be one of the few lucky individuals to live in Lasso.
