There is a new series, starting on ITV tonight, which is a sequal to the Colin Dexter Morse series, with Kevin Whately as the now-promoted Inspector Lewis.

I shall watch it with interest :)

I've set the video to record it just in case I get called away, from the clips it looks good & I do like our Kevin ;)

ooh might be worth a look, be intersting to see if Kevin Whately can carry it off without John Thaw.

He was good when he played a "baddie"in Trip Trap

Funnily enough I've only recently got really into Morse, and have been watching the repeats on Saturdays or recording them.
I will definitely watch Lewis - I think Kevin Whately is a good actor, we'll see what happens ... :)

I'll certainly be watching. I thought Morse was brilliant, so it'll be interesting to see how they change the 'feel' of it. A Morse-wannabe would be disappointing; it's got to move forward.

Brilliant! Just what I wanted. :)

I can't believe I fell asleep during the last part!!

Can anyone please tell me what happened and "who dunnit?! :P

Not that impressed as still hold as Morse still holds a very special place in my heart :)

If there are anymore episodes keep an eye in the background for me walking along muttering under my breath telling myself I must get myself another job soon :D :D

I walked the length and breadth of Oxford whilst they were filming :rolleyes:

Not bad - but as Lucy says, Morse is still the best!

Some nice touches though!

So who though Lewis was going to visit Morses grave, but it was Lewis's wife?

I enjoyed it, the refs to Morse were needed.

Morse doesn't have a grave because he left his body to medical science. ;)

Did he?

That's what he said in the episode where he died. He also said there was to be no funeral or memorial service.

Some of the links to Morse were very good - the 'Endeavour' scholarship, for example. :)

OOpps

Thanks

I thought it was brilliant & upto Morse standard I hope they made some more :D

I see that Colin Dexter is still keeping a "walk on" part - just as he did in the Morse series.  (he was a bowler-hatted porter in last night's episode).

I had thought that it wasn't going to be any good - but I was pleasantly surprised :) I liked the new side-kick, Hathaway :) Adds some 'Morse' brains to Lewis', somewhat, plodding style :)

Well I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope the ratings were good as I 'd like to see more.

Claim to fame - I was an extra twice in Morse when I was a student.  They gave you £30 and a meal a day!  I got to escort JT across Oxford - he was a real gent, so charming.

JT was my hero and used to have naughty dreams about him :D

I can imagine he was a gentleman in real life ;)

I could never really fancy him because he looked very much like my Dad! :D :D

LOL Lucy!!!  I was at school with a girl who really fancied him, which I thought odd as he was old enough to be her granddad never mind Dad!

However, he was utterly charming - we chatted about a play I'd seen him in and got all artistic like - and he did have the twinkliest blue eyes!!!

i loved it! & it will get better as it goes on. i liked lewis' sidekick

LOL I do a TV survey daily saying what I have watched etc & gave it an extra good write up :D so here's hoping for more :D

good!
i thought it was going to be the girl doing the killing!  DOH!!nice twist at the end.
