Re: The Best TV Detective?This. Let's have Hathaway!(Original post by Oglogski)
A true fan would know that Morse never graduated, I think he was kicked out after his first year (maybe second). I have a feeling this was even referenced in "Endeavour".
Sorry. But Morse is quite brilliant, and Lewis enjoyable enough. But I hope that if they do continue the series, they follow Hathaway more; he is more of a "Morse" character and Lewis is a little boring. -

Re: The Best TV Detective?Haha, my cousin's at Cambridge, so I'm up for that! The plot is, he transfers to Cambridgeshire because Oxford is simply not up to his intellectual abilities. (Sits back, awaits negs.) On arrival, his first case concerns the competition to become Master of St John's. The heir-apparent to the Mastership has been ritually slaughtered outside the Mahal using one of those rotating pickle trays as a bludgeon. Hathaway is not convinced that the deceased's earlier row with the chef about the Tandoori Fish is to blame....(Original post by Oglogski)

Re: The Best TV Detective?Yes you are right. I am aware of it, but made a mistake, because I'm not perfect!(Original post by Oglogski)

Re: The Best TV Detective?Well you watch Morse so I'm working on the assumption that you are(Original post by rock.and.rose)
Yes you are right. I am aware of it, but made a mistake, because I'm not perfect! -

Re: The Best TV Detective?That's right, they do, I remember my dad saying that several times (he's a barrister).(Original post by zara55)
Too far in - second year Law finishing about now!! Still, they say all good barristers are actors.
He has no interest in detective dramas though, that's left to me and my mum. -

Re: The Best TV Detective?My Dad is a lawyer too and he has watched every cop and legal show since about 1970, he loves them. It's entertaining sitting with him watching legal shows like Silk, he picks holes in them and laughs loudly at daft bits of plot/script.(Original post by rock.and.rose)
