Television detective John Nettles tucked into a good meal during an investigation.
But the restaurant scene for the latest Midsomer Murders series was not in the West Country but an Oxfordshire pub.
The actor, who sprang to fame as television's Jersey-based detective Bergerac, was filming at The Swan in Tetsworth, near Thame, yesterday. Kathy Robinson, duty manager at the 17th century former coaching inn, said: "A researcher ate here and decided it would be a perfect venue for the series.
"We are delighted to be part of it."
The scenes will be included in an episode of the new series to be shown later this year.
