The Guardian says:
Midsomer Murders keeps Danes glued to TV
RadioTimes says:
Why Denmark is swapping The Killing for Midsomer Murders - The cosy British whodunit is the best-performing imported TV show
Kaare Schmidt of Danmarks Radio, the Danish equivalent of the BBC, tells RadioTimes.com "it beats everything the competition can come up with, and has been doing so for 12 or 13 years, as long as it’s been around".
