ITV has announced a programming change, much to the sadness of Midsomer Murders fans.
The latest series of the popular homicide mystery show concluded Tuesday night.
The latest episode followed the case of a bakery selling bread that turned out to be poisoned.
While the bakers claimed their innocence, DCI John Barnaby and DS Jamie Winter had to struggle to locate the user of the fatal breads.
It has now been shown that the ITV crime drama will take the place of Midsomer Murders in the TV show.
Vera, starring Brenda Blethyn as DCI Stanhope and Kenny Doughty as his former partner Aiden Healy, will air Tuesday night.
The next episode is expected to be a repeat of the one screened this year.
See the beloved chief detective inspector called in to investigate the death of a young man whose body was washed up on the banks of the River Tyne.
His murder came as a surprise to the local community, as the victim was popular in his office and enjoyed by his friends and family.
Vera will have to get to the bottom of an internet of lies and be informed about secret betrayals to discover the woman’s murderer.
Midsomer Murders star Neil Dudgeon, who plays DCI leader Barnaby, had in the past begged the show’s bosses to air more than one episode of the crime drama at a time.
He warned that the show risked wasting viewership if there were large gaps left between each episode, and he emphasized that no show is bulletproof.
Neil added: “A few years ago, ITV programmed only episodes, or just two episodes of a series, so that Midsomer could take on rival shows on the other side.
“I think it’s a shame. People who follow any show like to know when their show is going to air, say, in the next 4 weeks. But they stopped doing that a while ago.
“It would be fantastic if we went back to doing series. “
Crime drama fans have a wide variety to choose from on ITVX – here’s a selection of some of the shows available to binge.
