Gemma Jones, Patrick Troughton.
With Thaw and Whately are Peter Woodthorpe as Max (i.e. DeBryn) and Morse's boss James Grout (Chief Superintendent Strange...)
The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn d. Brian Parker, scr. Julian Mitchell Another Country, Arabesque. Dexter's third Morse novel (1977).
School's trade in exam papers. Lewis developing to be irrepressibly cheerful, and quite cheeky to Morse, who's very particular about his beer. He even takes a scotch at the home of a dead man, which rather raises Lewis's eyebrows.
We think we've spotted Colin Dexter twice now, who himself suffered from deafness. He's at the party at the beginning of this, and walking somewhat oddly through the cloisters in the first.
Service of All the Dead d. Peter Hammond, scr. Julian Mitchell. The fourth, 1979, Colin Dexter novel.
"I don't like this kind of church." Nor would anyone, as murders abound, though DP Clive Tickner seems to enjoy lighting it. Morse falls for wrong woman (Angela Morant) again and lies for her in court. Michael Hordern's in this one.
"Never disturb me when I'm reserving my opera tickets, Lewis. I might get Madame Butterfly instead of Berlioz." Odd comment as young Endeavour's a big fan of Puccini, and so is later Morse (there's even a Verona Madame Butterfly episode).
