Steve Pemberton

In Midsomer Murders

Pemberton plays Timothy Benson in Red in Tooth and Claw, a case centred on a rabbit show and a local prize. His taste for the macabre makes this an especially fitting Midsomer appearance.

Performer biography

Steve Pemberton co-created and starred in The League of Gentlemen and, with Reece Shearsmith, Inside No. 9. Both series made inventive use of horror, comedy and tightly plotted twists.

He has also appeared in Benidorm and a wide range of television dramas. The Midsomer role brings a writer-performer closely associated with dark storytelling into another long-running mystery series.
