Barbara
Summer in East Germany, 1980.
Barbara, a doctor, has applied for an exit visa from East Germany. Now, as punishment, she has been transferred from Berlin to a small, remote hospital out in the country. Jörg, her lover from the West, has started planning her escape.
So Barbara waits, keeping to herself. Working as a pediatric surgeon under her new boss Andre, she is attentive with her patients, but distanced from her colleagues. Her life will begin later.
But Andre confuses her and arouses her suspicions. His confidence in her professional abilities, his caring attitude, his smile. Why does he cover for her when she helps the young runaway Sarah? Is he spying on her? As the day of her planned escape quickly approaches, Barbara starts to lose control. Over herself, her plans, over love.

Midsomer Murders – Season 15 (Part 1)
The deadliest county in England.
In the villages of Midsomer there are fresh murders to solve… new clues to examine… and scores of suspects to suspect as D.C.I. John Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon) and D.S. Ben Jones (Jason Hughes) investigate the first three cases from Season 15. Their deductive skills are put to the test when the appearance of a headless horseman foreshadows a number of gruesome deaths; suspicion falls on a convicted murderer when a barrister is killed; and the murder of a journalist has chilling echoes of a 1960s horror film when death imitates art.
Murder and deception are never far away as mayhem shatters the peaceful and picturesque villages of Midsomer in this two disc set, also including a new Audio Commentary with series star Neil Dudgeon.
