To think John Nettles ...

[MyNameIsElizaDay]

...is really rather sexy in Midsomer Murders.
Is this something I can repeat outloud in public?
Anyone else have an eye for him or any other actor not usually considered 'hot'?

Totally agree, much nicer than when he was in Bergerac.

He was even nicer as a young man in 'Bergerac'!

Haha Flamey, we will agree to disagree!

Oh my god! Yes! I’ve thought this for ages but never admitted it to ANYONE!!! 😂

I agree. Much sexier as Barnaby than Bergerac-lovely and solid.

About 20 years ago, for about 5 days I had A passion for....(whisper it..)
David Walliams!!!!

Eek! Wash your mouth out with soap woman!

Must admit, I do like John Nettles's voice ... .

@SturminsterNewton

Haha Flamey, we will agree to disagree!

😆 I must just like the gnarly look.

He's a handsome fella and his voice is lovely too.

Oooh I much preferred him in Bergerac!

Ok..ahem… big confession, as a young teenager I fancied Ken Livingstone - yes red Ken!

Well, seems we are not alone! 😍

Oh god no.
"Culllyyyy, what are you doing here?" In strangulated tones.
If we're talking fictional detective types I'd rather have Jason Isaacs as Jackson Brodie than boring old Barnaby.

I don't know why exactly...but this has made me laugh quite a lot

MissyB1 did you see a professional for your issues? 🤔

I always preferred Troy myself (Barnaby’s first partner).

I've actually changed my name to say this otherwise I'll be absolutely panned on here but I really love Michael Portillos voice. So soothing and mellifluous.

I loved that Barnaby just had a normal home life.

I’ve met him…I was however a child at the time. Totally fancy him as Bergerac. I have the box set.

Join the queue.

Noooo! His voice is so annoying slow and whispery. He is rude to his underlings unless they are women and then he's patronising and 'charming' In fact, he talks down to most people, he obviously thinks he's a superior being! Poor long-suffering Joyce, always attempting to look happy but in reality thinking what hard work he is. In one episode he gets locked in a cellar for 24 hours and she didn't even miss him. That was very funny.
Much prefer John Barnaby and especially since I had a sexy dream about him. Although his voice is boring and tedious. Must be a family trait.

No, not for me.

Oooh did someone say Jason Isaacs?

I used to fancy John Telfer who played Bergeracs sidekick DC Willy Pettit. He used to live locally and when he came into my workplace there was always a scramble amongst the female staff to serve him.

I’ve been saying this for years and getting distinctly funny looks. I thought I was alone! 😂

Any extra-old people on here? He was Nerys Hughes' boyfriend in The Liver Birds in the 60s. God, he was insipid.

Having recently binged on all ten series of Vera on Britbox, I was gutted when her first sergeant moved on. The current one is a nice enough young man but the first one was very, very lovely.
