Electric Vendetta

The episode involves crop circles. A man is found in the middle of one such circle, naked, with two puncture wounds on his back and the back of his head shaved. A local Ufologist claims extra terrestrial involvement but DCI Tom Barnaby looks for a more plausible explanation.

When a series of bodies are found in mysterious crop circles in the cornfields of Sir Harry Chatwyn, squire of the village of Midsomer Parva, it looks like a case of extra terrestrial kidnapping. Two bodies, bearing the classic hallmarks of alien abduction – burnt fingers, a puncture wound to the lower back and a chunk cut out of the hair - seem to provide evidence that UFOs do exist.

Inspector Barnaby and Sergeant Troy investigate a series of deaths in a Midsomer village, which are ultimately revealed to be murders connected to personal motives.

1. Ronald Stokes - accidentally electrocuted himself
2. Eddie Field - electrocuted at foundry. His death was never adequately explained in the episode. Producers later revealed the explanation had been forgotten in editing. ^{[citation needed]}
3. Steve Ramsey - murdered by electrocution
4. Lloyd Kirby - thrown down stairs. Body dumped in a crop circle by Dave and Sally.
5. Lady Isabel Aubrey - natural causes (She was still alive the last time seen by the audience, as the heart monitor did not flatline.)
6. Dave Rippert - killed in accidental head-on collision with a combine harvester seen earlier
