This is a particularly good episode from a strong season. A complex story, which sees Morse at his brilliant best, but somehow sad, the character appears lonely and perhaps a little guilty that he didn't help his friend Anthony Donn.
A particularly clever story, which has many strands, all of which come together very neatly at the end. The ending is wonderful, Morse unravels two crimes, it's all so neat. The dynamic between Morse and Lewis is very different, there's actually some humour between the pair which is so nice, the actors interplay wonderfully as always. Great guest performances, Daniel Massey, Sharon Maughan, and of course the wonderful Norman Rodway.
Morse is a little bit of a letch in this episode, as he asks every single woman he encounters out, perhaps a little over the top. Great that we learn his nickname was Pagan, that's a name we'd hear again in the franchise.
Excellent.
