MIDSOMER MURDERS
NOT IN MY BACK YARD
MAIN CHARACTERS/ROLES
Norman Swanscombe - Peter Egan
Norman prospered as a City accountant and has now
retired early and returned to his roots in the village of Great
Pelfe, where he has built an ultra-modern new house.
Eleanor Swanscombe - Jill Baker
Norman's wife Eleanor is a bit marooned in Great Pelfe
and misses her children, who are grown up and living in London - a
world she knows and likes better than the country.
James Otley - Dominic Mafham
Otley is a local vet and a Midsomer County Councillor.
He's a frustrated man, in a stale marriage and would like more
excitement, glamour and adventure in his life.
Liz Gerrard - Amanda Drew
Midsomer County Council's planning officer, Liz is
attractive, intelligent and ambitious - which means she's quite
willing to share a bed with an attractive colleague or contact if
they can do her some good.
Maureen Stubbs - Joan Blackham
Maureen is a widow and the leading light in the
Midsomer Conservation Society. She is passionate about preserving the
villages as they are, to the point of rudeness and even law-breaking.
Angela Lawrence - Dorothy Atkinson
Divorcee Angela is secretary of the Midsomer
Conservation Society, an apparently dowdy dogsbody who hides a
capacity for manipulation and criminality.
Major David Walsh - David Annen
Major Walsh is a retired army officer standing as an
independent candidate in the Midsomer council elections. He's a bit
of an action man, but rather naive about personal relationships.
Clifford Bunting - Alistair Petrie
Twice-divorced Clifford is a gifted architect who is
quite willing to take on hack word to make ends meet. He's rather
egotistical and abrasive.
Fiona Conway - Linda Marlowe
The sole surviving heir of the local squire, Fiona was
a raver in the 60s and 70s who now lives alone in the decaying manor
house amid the family's fading glories. Fiona is determined to grow
old disgracefully.
Geoff Rogers - Hugo Speer
Rogers is a self-made local builder who dreams of the
big time. He's chronically unfaithful to his wife and not averse to corruption.
Gemma Rogers - Polly Kemp
Gemma never expected to be the wife of a successful
businessman. She doesn't understand Geoff's ducking and diving and he
makes no effort to enlighten her.
