They Seek Him Here is the seventh episode of the tenth series of the popular ITV crime drama Midsomer Murders and was first aired 27th April 2008.
Synopsis[]
DCI Barnaby and DS Jones investigate the murder of insufferable movie director Nick Cheyney, during production of a low-budget film about the French Revolution and the Scarlet Pimpernel, being filmed at Magna Manor. He is found on his film set having been decapitated in the guillotine. Cheyney was found by Jed Norris, who had only recently been hired to work as a security guard by the film's tight-fisted producer, Jack Braxton. Cheyney had also had a run-in with Danny Twyman who operates a local taxi service and who wanted Cheyney to stay away from his girlfriend, Leonie Charteris. That Cheyney fathered her child is a complicating factor. The owners of Magma Manor, Leonie's parents Terence and Diane Charteris, have spent a great deal of money on the Manor and very much want to maximize any possible returns. Then there is Raymond Clandillon, a past-his-prime actor who is prone to drink and to whom Cheyney would only offer a position as an extra. Then there are Gwen Morrison and Neville Hayward who definitely had a history with the dead director. There will be a second guillotining however before Barnaby can identify the killer and the motive behind the deed.
