Inspector Lewis

The Inspector Morse series was the first British mystery series I watched. It was the series that addicted me to these great programs. Morse's assistant was Sergeant Lewis, a great character. I was very pleased to discover that a TV pilot starring Kevin Whately as Inspector Lewis was in the works. The show was going to be set at Oxford as was the Morse series. The university setting proves interesting story lines.

The pilot starts by bridging the gap between the past and the present. Morse is gone, Lewis' wife had been killed three years before in a hit and run accident. His children are grown. His son is living in Australia and his daughter is a nurse living in Manchester. Inspector Lewis is returning from an assignment in the British Virgin Islands. It was an assignment he apparently took to escape the surroundings that reminded him of his wife's death. Inspector Lewis' career is not going anywhere. As you can see the writers have provided a rich backdrop.

The pilot was a great success in England and the series in now in production!

Pilot - 2006
