Midsomer murders. Set 08, The straw woman [videorecording] a Bentley Production in association with A & E Television Networks ; directed by Doug Hallows ... [et al.] ; written by David Hoskins ... [et al.].
The revival of a traditional festival at Midsomer Parva ends in tragedy when the curate, the Rev Alex Dakin, is burned alive inside a straw effigy of a woman. Then his gay lover the priest, the Rev Jim Hale, dies too. Amid rumours of witchcraft, some villagers blame manor owner and orgy host Alan Clifford, who has a secret of his own, some blame the teacher, Liz Francis, who restarted the straw woman tradition, and some blame the local herbalist, Kate Malpas, who has a connection to events of previous centuries in the village.
