Let Us Prey
Season 16, Episode 2
A series of killings in Midsomer St Claire seem to be inspired by macabre images on a medieval fresco recently discovered in the church crypt. As the village prepares for storms and flooding, it appears that someone is using ancient torture methods to punish modern-day 'sinners'. With help from sidekick Charlie Nelson, Barnaby tries to get to the bottom of the case, and unearths a long-held secret that takes him by surprise. With Rebecca Front, Andrea Lowe, Vincent Regan and Roy Hudd
