Midsomer Murders' lead detective John Barnaby, played by Neil Dudgeon, has fronted the popular ITV series since 2011
Martin Clunes, known for his role in Doc Martin, is among the favourites to replace Neil Dudgeon on Midsomer Murders, should he ever decide to leave his position as the lead detective. Despite Neil having no immediate plans to depart, he recently discussed his experience of "being cancelled" when he succeeded John Nettles.
Martin has been given odds of 20/1 to succeed Neil, alongside Only Fools and Horses star Nicholas Lyndhurst and Jamie Parker. Other actors in the running include Death in Paradise's Ralf Little and Daniel Case, with odds of 5/1 and 6/1 respectively. He added: "Rounding out the top three in the betting market is Daniel Casey at 6/1, who our traders think could be in line to make a return to Causton as the main character!
