A Surprise For The Doc & Something Sinister in Midsomer

8pm DOC MARTIN: The Family Way - Comedy/Drama

Dr. Ellingham's parents, whom he hasn't spoken to in seven years, make a surprise visit to Cornwall to stay with their son. He's puzzled why they should turn up out of the blue to see him, but does his best to welcome them to his home, even though his father delights in sneering at his drop in status from surgeon to general practitioner. Christopher Ellingham is a suave surgeon, oozing charm -- nothing like his son -- and the villagers are soon taken in by his charisma. But his wife Margaret seems oddly quiet and reserved. Martin worries that she might be ill. Meanwhile, Louisa's beau Danny collapses, barely able to breathe. Louisa calls Martin who diagnoses a collapsed lung. He recognizes that Danny is gravely ill, and when the ambulance is delayed, he has no alternative but to carry out emergency surgery to save his life. 

9pm MIDSOMER MURDERS: Second Sight - Crime Drama

While struggling on the village green he drops down and dies. Detectives Barnaby and Scott investigate the case and find out John's brain had been fried by electrical currents and there are scorch marks all over his scalp.  His family is known for conducting bizarre experiments into ESP and trying to unlock a persons 'second sight' so they can see into the future. Was John's death the result of the experiments or simply a pub brawl?  Tune in to find out the sinister events happening in the sleepy town of Midsomer.
