Still churning through them, not all as good as each other, some unconvincing supporting performers but some real treats. There's also a growing number of directors who went on to greater things:
The Infernal Serpent, John Madden, scr Alma Cullen.
Really creepy episode with Geoffrey Palmer, Barbara Leigh-Hunt (Frenzy) and Tom Wilkinson.
Driven to Distraction Sandy Johnson, scr. Anthony Minghella
Refreshingly outside academia. Patrick Malahide, Christopher Fulford, David Ryall as a driving instructor who gives Morse lessons!
Masonic Mysteries Danny Boyle, scr Julian Mitchell
Stand-out epsiode in which Morse is framed for murder, imprisoned, has his name blackened and his irreplaceable record collection even more blackened, and held at gunpoint. Great scene of fire in flat with only music - seems to be more use of opera (here, The Magic Flute) from this point on?
Ian McDiarmid (villain).
Second Time Around Adrian Shergold (Dirty Filthy Love etc.), scr. Daniel (not Danny) Boyle.
Oliver Ford Davies, Kenneth Colley (a very familiar face from the sixties on, including several Ken Russells and Juggernaut), Christopher Eccleston, Pat Heywood. Lewis questions Morse's judgement causing frissons when old child murder case is revived.
