David Haig insists he did not kill fading Oxford don in Dead on Time (Daniel Boyle).. tuns out he didn't in intriguing tale. Joanna David is his wife and Morse's ex - he does his usual thing of moving in in a most untimely way. Lewis sweetly protects him from the truth. With Samantha Bond, Adrian Dunbar. And in Boyle's Happy Families, evil journalists (portrayed by Rupert Graves and Jamie Forman) are as bad as the killer of another posh entrepreneurial family. Anna Massey is mother to Jonathan Coy and Martin Clunes. A young girl, Charlotte Coleman, is involved, and an acting Superintendent in the guise of Alun Armstrong seems solely concerned about the Press.
The Death of the Self takes us to a suspicious death in Vicenze (and Verona) and Morse just knows that the charlatan 'healer' Michael Kitchen (good) is up to no good, though local copper Georges Corraface seems intent on being unhelpful. Is opera singer Frances Barber involved?
Lewis doesn't even try the local food - idiot! Alma Cullen wrote it.
And in Absolute Conviction, written by John Brown, there's death in an open prison, run by Diana Quick. (Cells are 'rooms' and prisoners 'guests'.) You'll find Sean Bean and Richard Wilson and Jim Broadbent (as good as ever) inside, with Phil Davies on the outside, plus wives Susannah Hamilton and Sue Johnstone. And a new fledgling detective sergeant is Steven Mackintosh.
