Joyce Barnaby is the wife of Tom Barnaby and the mother of Cully Barnaby. She is a central character to the series, appearing in over 80 episodes. She is portrayed by Jane Wymark.

Personality and appearance

Joyce Barnaby is a friendly, well liked and passionate woman with a wide variety of hobbies, interests and friends. She is married to Tom Barnaby and has been happily so for many years. They have a daughter named Cully Barnaby who they remain very close with. Joyce is a sociable and amiable woman who is known to have an interest in many things, depending on the focus of the episode - including painting, singing, tango dancing, arts appreciation, drama, cycling, running, charity work and crafts. She's known to her family as an experimental, but not always successful, cook. Thus, Tom is often seen taking advantage of every opportunity to dine out.

She has long possessed a desire to move out of their Causton home and into one of the picturesque Midsomer villages - only to be put off by the grisly murders that occur there.
