I find these early episodes of Morse difficult to follow and full of procedural gaffes that an experienced DCI would not make.
For starters murders are never investigated by just two officers and a DCI would be managing the enquiries not out and about.
Why is Morse allowed to use his own car and who authorised the fitting of a police radio to it?
In this episode Morse is again romantically pursuing a witness before the case has been resolved.
Lewes acts as an undercover officer, when that would be a specialised role.
And At the end Morse turns up at the suspects place of work and charges her with murder without arresting her and in any case the decision would not be his to make unless PACE does not apply in Thames Valley.
