this series is still the most popular comedy series in English television history. it takes place at a holiday camp in england in the 60's. which was only twenty years past when this series was on TV. The late talented simon cadell (1950-96) was particularly good in the lead role and his replacement did pretty well considering who he was replacing. the show is well worth watching and is not only funny, it is nostalgic as well. actually the eighties themselves are now nostalgia! which only adds to the whole feeling of comedic affection that the show was aiming at in portraying a bygone era that of the old holiday camps of the fifties through mid -sixties. so watch it and enjoy a classic comedy from those wonderful brits. I asked my library system in coloardo springs to order episodes of this and they did and they are checked out a lot. so hi de hi , hi de ho! lets go watch a great TV show!.

"Inspector Morse" was without a doubt the late actor john thaw's (1942-2002) greatest character that he portrayed during his distinguished career. The show was made with a lot of intelligence and quality. I would agree that there isn't one bad episode of this series. the show is best watched on DVD which really brings out the oxford scenery where the show is featured. The morse character himself is unlike any other detective on TV too. He is antisocial and likable at the same time, he cares but is very irritating to those he must work with. The show is well worth watching or owning on DVD. the only bad thing is that sadly there can be no more "inspector morse" episodes (regardless of the remorseful day episode) as no one else could properly play the character!.
