Second that. Good innings but RIP.

Not sure I agree its the best but such arguments are trivial at this time.

At the very least you could have shown his name as an anagram.

Will he be making ghost appearances in future episodes of Morse?

Thanks for the books and TV series RIP

In my view an excellent author deserving of all the accolades he received. I enjoyed all his Morse books and the TV series as well.

RIP

Yes. RIP Colin Dexter you brought pleasure and entertainment to millions.

God bless him. That invariably tedious show brought a couple of hours relief to millions of insomniacs all over the country but waking up after the credits was always unsatisfactory. They should have had eight hour episodes.

Never saw one episode of Morse fully, tried it though a few times, and I share your opinion.
It could be that John Thaw didn't fit the role and had become typecast as the heavy drinking and smoking, womanising, non-PC copper Jack Regan.

Classic show in its day the Sweeney.

I suppose fair play to Colin Dexter, millions can't all be wrong. Then again I believe millions tuned into watch Last of the summer wine!

Na, this was what we were brought up with,
