Lewis - Season 2 (2008)

And the Moonbeams Kiss the Sea (Shelley) by Alan Plater, featuring a crocodile in the River Cherwell! We both would have signed up for Emily Beecham's fictional tour of Oxford immediately!

Also Shelley (The Question):

I DREAM'D that, as I wander'd by the way,
    Bare Winter suddenly was changed to Spring;
And gentle odours led my steps astray,
    Mix'd with a sound of waters murmuring

It's a fantastic film, with a wonderful performance from Tom Riley as the autistic painter.




I think it was Amy McKay who was responsible for all the beautiful artwork.

I must say that the intricacies of Music to Die For by Dusty Hughes, involving the East German Stasi, somewhat eluded me. There's also a romantic triangle involving boxing, South African club owners and Wagner. And Morse resurfaces from beyond the grave. South African (and German) accents largely unconvincing.

Tom Goodman-Hill, Ben Batt, Bradley James, Joanna Christie, Cheryl Campbell again.
