Lewis

Jennie and I just finished watching the last of the Morse movies the other day – the new mini-sound system gave it a much better quality than listening to the laptop’s inbuilt speakers. It was a perfectly melancholy finish to the series (much as I remembered from when I saw it on TV).

However, the real pleasure should prove to be watching the first series of four Lewis movies. The O’Briens had assured us last year that a series focusing on Lewis set a few years after the Morse series was in production. Jennie and I had scoffed—how could you create a series around Sergeant (Inspector at the end of the Morse series) Lewis? Well, we are about to find out—the first four movie episodes are sitting on our bookshelf. I’m hoping they’ve managed to make something different (as befits the shift from Morse to Lewis) but sharing the same values. Such a feat would be even more impressive than the original Morse series (which would be saying something). MDB
