Thursday: They're all wanting something they couldn't have, I suppose.
Morse: Doesn't everyone?
You've gotta love the Fabergé egg within the Easter egg!
'Cartouche'. With Phil Daniels as Fred's brother. Egyptology meets horror movie star. Morse definitely getting grumpier...
'Passenger'. Body found next to railway track. Lout from Robbery has a go at Truelove - CS Bright is having none of it.
'Colours'. Murder of a model at a photo shoot on an army base. Thursday utters the line 'Well if you will go around getting shot at'. And to Thursday Jr. 'Off, now?' Very exciting episode with Morse in big danger.
'Quartet'. Murder at 'Jeux Sans Frontières'! Morse ignores instructions to leave it to Special Branch. Fred's threatening to retire. So's Morse's girlfriend... Ellie Haddington on good form as Ministry agent.
'Icarus'. Filmed at Reading School, there's a real feel of Unman, Wittering and Zigo, with Morse undercover as teacher; meanwhile gang warfare is hotting up, the station is closing, and we learn why Bright's always had a soft spot for Truelove...
Dr DeBryn: "I'll deal with George first, if I may. No reason why he should lie in this company any longer than he has to."
Always the TV highlight of the week. Great long plotting - Joan, station closure, gang warfare, Fancy, Fred's retirement.
