introduction. The main character, played in an amazing sustained performance for over ten years by John Thaw, is a cynical yet brilliant police detective. Together with his younger partner, Sergeant Lewis (played by Kevin Whately), he solves major crimes with an emphasis on realism and the difficulties of the job.Fans of Sherlock Holmes and James Bond, where mysteries are solved quickly with a minimum of fuss and some clever deduction will find Inspector Morse to be a very different species. Morse is human and sometimes gets it wrong. He's flawed, he has troubled personal relationships and is very fond of more than the occasional drink. But he has a touch of brilliance and often solves cases that no one else can. He also gets annoyed when people don't keep up with his thinking, and mainly takes this frustration out on Lewis.Inspector Morse has episodes roughly 100 minutes in length for a more in-depth story than many other detective shows.This is the eighth series, consisting of four episodes. It has a 15-certificate.

Advantages: Excellent stories and excellent performances Disadvantages: Occasional weaker episode but it is still good!
I have always been a great fan of InspectorMorse and I used to video tape and keep as many episodes as possible. I now have every episode on DVD and regularly sit down to watch one.
For those of you that don?t know InspectorMorse is, in my opinion, one of the very best detective series ever made. It is based on the books by the author Colin Dexter and starred the late John Thaw in the title role with Kevin Whately as his long suffering sidekick, Lewis. The actors both give outstanding and completely believable performances in every episode.
Each episode lasts about 100 minutes and revolves around the solving of a crime, almost always at least one murder. The viewer is invited to follow the reasoning and logic of Morse and Lewis as they follow the clues to find the truth, which is usually very well hidden!

INSPECTORMORSE.
After reading several of your well written opinions, people, I see that I may be going out on a limb here.
It appears that many of you, if not all, are big Morse fans.
Personally, I think it was the biggest load of old twoddle on the TV.
Lets have a quick look at the programme shall we:
We have John Thaw, who was once a big star in the Sweeney, trying to resurrect his ailing career as another copper.
This time, rather than shouting,screaming and getting angry with Dennis Waterman, he is trying to solve crime the clever way.
During his shows, Morse is sent to solve crimes along with his sidekick, Lewis.
These long drawn out "Hunt the killer" programmes fail to capture my imagination or interest.
Screened on ITV, it had competition from several other similar types of show.
The ones where ...

reasons. The first was that the character of Morse died, and more recently, John Thaw passed away after losing his battle against cancer. Saying that in many ways Morse is very much alive, with the programmes and the books still being watch and read by people on a regular basis. Morse is big business, and that this can be seen in the new publication of the magazine, InspectorMorse. The complete collection.
The magazine is published in conjunction with Carlton by DeAgostini and the collection will be available every two weeks. The format is the usual magazine, but it come with a complete episode of Morse, in DVD or VHS formats. The first one, The Dead of Jericho comes in the honey trap price of £2.99 for the DVD version, but after this, they will be £7.99/ 5.99 for the DVD and VHS versions. For the review, I am going to look ...
