Inspector Morse was a British Detective Drama based on the novels by Colin Dexter, which ran from 1987 to 2000. Set among the dreaming spires of Oxford, it starred John Thaw as the grumpy, brilliant and beer-loving Detective Chief Inspector "Inspector" Morse, and Kevin Whately as his cheerful Geordie sidekick Detective Sergeant Robbie Lewis. During the course of each episode, the pair would investigate a murder, which would often involve complex university politics, bright but emotional students and the opportunity for Morse to utilise his love of classical music, literature and cryptic crossword puzzles. Baddies are usually rich, arrogant, and well-connected.Broadcast on ITV, the show was immensely popular in Britain, and John Thaw's portrayal of Morse is generally considered one of British television's most iconic characters. Still repeated fairly frequently on ITV3 in Britain and PBS in the United States.Sergeant Lewis later received his own spin-off in Lewis, joined by Laura Hobson (Clare Holman) as the only other regular returnee from this series. A prequel, Endeavour, set in the 60s and starring Shaun Evans as the young Detective Constable Morse, aired in 2012; it was renewed for a series airing from April 2013.The show has also seen a 2010 theatre play adaption, Morse — House of Ghosts, where the role of Morse was played by Colin Baker. BBC later made an audio adaption of the play in 2017, this time with Neil Pearson in the role of Morse.

Darker and Edgier
 Inspector Morse / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: Series 1 and 2 featured a lot more in the way of profanity and graphic violence. However, the show's creators greatly toned this down from Series 3 onwards, as it became obvious to ITV that the show performed very well in daytime repeats, and the edits required to broadcast the early episodes before the watershed could be quite severe. Starting with Series 3 (and continuing on into Lewis and Endeavour), the episode generally didn't require any cuts to be shown in the daytime. "Service of All The Dead," even compared to most other episodes of the show. Not only does it have the highest bodycount of any Morse episode, it also features themes of pedophilia and infanticide — the latter of which the killer gleefully admits doing For the Evulz — and even has Morse knowingly committing perjury to get the murderer's accomplice off with a lighter prison sentence, simply because he's attracted to her. "Dead On Time" is one of the most downright bleak episodes that features themes of suicide pacts and contains Death of a Child, not to mention its incredibly depressing Downer Ending. "The Day Of The Devil" features themes of Satanism, domestic abuse, rape and animal murder. The episode's main villain, John Peter Barrie, is also one of the most disturbing and insane in the entire series, being a Satan-worshipping serial rapist and Master of Disguise. It's also one of the bloodiest and most violent episodes in the series to boot.

Long-Runners: The show ran for 33 episodes across 13 years, which is an incredibly long time for a British series. The franchise - known as the 'Morseverse' kept on running long after, with Lewis lasting nine series (also 33 episodes in total) and Endeavour also lasting nine series (35 episodes total).

The Bad Guy Wins
 Inspector Morse / int_2e8441c9
comment
The Bad Guy Wins: The murderer in "The Last Enemy" ends up achieving everything he set out to do, with the only thing that went wrong being that Morse eventually caught him. Even then, as Lewis openly acknowledges, there's no way the murderer will ever be charged with anything since he'll be dead in a few months anyway from cancer, and any halfway competent lawyer would easily get him off on an insanity plea. The murderer in "Deadly Slumber" is implicitly another case, despite ending up killed himself, as he achieves his revenge on the married doctors whose negligence and fraud resulted in his daughter's brain damage..

Distaff Counterpart: Dr. Grayling Russell is loosely this to Morse. While she has a different job and is significantly younger than Morse, she has a similar personality, a love of classical music and opera, and an Embarrassing First Name. Laura Hobson, on the other hand, was initially more the Distaff Counterpart of Max, due to her much more irreverent attitude to her job and straight-talking nature, although as time went on (and especially in Lewis) she became a much more distinct character.

Death Faked for You
 Inspector Morse / int_369a1bf6
comment
Death Faked for You: Unintentionally done in "The Setting of the Sun". The victims of the episode cooked up a very elaborate plot to murder a man, which involved obscuring the time of his death by employing a body double to act as him during a public dinner. Unfortunately for them their would-be victim wound up swapping places with the body double, leading to the double being killed in his place. The intended victim then decided that he very much liked the freedom that his 'death' bought him, and spends the episode elminating all the people who knew about the plot so that the truth wouldn't come out.

Worthy Opponent: Julia Stevens in "The Daughters of Cain". She conspires with her cleaner and her cleaner's stepdaughter to kill their abusive husband/stepfather and recruits a student to help obtain the murder weapon and move the body. She sets it up beautifully, leaving next to no evidence of the stepdaughter's involvement and the wife too grief-stricken to say anything reliable. Plus, she's dying of a brain tumor anyway, guaranteeing that even if it does come to trial, she'll already be dead. Morse attends her funeral to pay tribute.

Scenery Porn: The show frequently featured shots of the skyline of Oxford and its iconic landmarks. "Service Of All The Dead" has many scenes set within a Catholic church, and makes good use of it. The atmospheric direction of Peter Hammond also helps. "Promised Land" is set (and was filmed) in Australia, and makes sure to get in shots of the Sydney opera house and skyline. "The Death Of The Self" is set in Italy, so naturally there are lots of shots of the Italian countryside and cities.

Downer Ending: "Dead on Time" ends with the woman who's apparently the nearest Morse has ever had to a true love turn out to have assisted her husband in killing himself, then tried to use the death to falsely pin a murder charge on her son-in-law, before committing suicide herself. The only thing preventing it from being even more of a downer ending is the fact that Lewis destroyed the tape that confirmed she was involved in the former two actions. "Deadly Slumber". Michael Steppings succeeds in destroying the Brewsters for what they did to his daughter, but he ends up committing suicide, the daughter is taken off life support, and the Brewsters' son now has no parents. "The Remorseful Day". After the collapse of the only true relationship he's actually had in the series, Morse's health declines throughout the episode, eventually resulting in him dying of a heart attack. At least he's able to solve the case shortly before he dies.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Inspector Morse / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first two seasons have a somewhat different feel to the rest of the show, with the show's storylines and visual style being much grittier, Morse being more morally ambiguous and Lewis more of a Bumbling Sidekick, the soundtracks being more minimalist and typically done via synthesizer, and the series making much more frequent use of profanity and graphic violence. In several early episodes, Morse sticks by the maxim that the person who discovered the body is most likely the killer. This soon switches to Morse believing that the last person to see the victim alive should be treated as the prime suspect, with him specifically decrying detectives who point the finger of suspicion at whoever discovered the body (not least because Morse himself ends up being accused of more than one murder thanks to this logic)..

Always Murder
 Inspector Morse / int_518de95b
comment
Always Murder: Well, 98% Murder, with the remainder being divided between actual suicides and deaths from natural causes. The only true aversion comes in "The Wench Is Dead," in which nobody dies at all in the story's present-day setting, while in the historical segment Joanna Franks faked her death, and the boat crew had the misfortune to be falsely convicted of her death and executed. "Dead on Time" is a borderline case, as there's only one death involved, and it actually turns out to be an assisted suicide, which is technically still a crime, but only about comparable to manslaughter in terms of punishment.

Happy Ending Override: "The Wench Is Dead", the originally planned final episode ends with Morse in the first stable relationship he's been in in years and quietly deciding to retire early to preserve his health after solving the Victorian Oxford canal murder cold case. "The Remorseful Day" reveals that Morse's relationship collapsed due to him cheating with a woman who would become the murder victim in what would turn out to be his final case, as he dies of a heart attack by the end.

comment
Women Are Wiser: Played straight with Dr. Russell, who is consciously depicted as being much more focused, knowledgeable and sensible compared to her predecessor, Max, and even Morse himself to a certain degree. Defied by the much quirkier Dr. Hobson, who was a bit closer to Bunny-Ears Lawyer (but only a bit, mind you).

Bumbling Sidekick
 Inspector Morse / int_605b8f40
comment
The first two seasons have a somewhat different feel to the rest of the show, with the show's storylines and visual style being much grittier, Morse being more morally ambiguous and Lewis more of a Bumbling Sidekick, the soundtracks being more minimalist and typically done via synthesizer, and the series making much more frequent use of profanity and graphic violence.

The Master
 Inspector Morse / int_62697dee
comment
The Master: In real life, heads of colleges have a number of different titles (Warden, President, Rector...). But Inspector Morse villains seem to gravitate to colleges where the traditional title is Master. Matthew Copley-Barnes, Master of Beaufort College has a decades-long history of abusing children. Clixby Bream, the Master of Lonsdale College in "Death Is Now My Neighbour", is a very nasty piece of work and even harasses, manipulates and takes advantage of a woman throughout the episode which ultimately causes her death.

Author Appeal: Colin Dexter's love of crosswords and opera are big parts of Morse's character and important to many of the plotlines. Later on, he got Dexter's type 2 diabetes as well. Lewis' love of cricket is definite Author Appeal as well, for both Dexter and Kevin Whately.

British Brevity: While each series is between 3 and 5 episodes long, each episode is an hour and forty minutes! It ran for seven regular series and one series of one-off yearly specials as well, another aversion of this trope. This also applies to Lewis and Endeavour as well, all three series only have 3-5 episodes per series on average, however they are all at least 7 series long and have hour and 40 minute long episodes. Curiously all three series meet the exact same total of 33 episodes.

Teacher/Student Romance
 Inspector Morse / int_6d892421
comment
Teacher/Student Romance: Several episodes have a professor who has settled down with one of his students. The majority of the deaths in "The Wolvercote Tongue" stem from one these husbands catching his pretty young wife in bed with his colleague. In "Last Seen Wearing", Morse and Lewis believe that Valerie may have been involved with one of her teachers. They're right, and her disappearence turns out to be because she's run off with him. Their digging also unearths that the school's deputy head was also carrying with her pupils. In the "The Daughters of Cain", a teacher seduces her student to secure his help in pulling off her murderous scheme. Though it's implied that she does genuinely have some fond feelings for him and doesn't merely see him as a pawn.

Put on a Bus: The series' original pathologist, Max is mentioned as having been forced to retire after suffering a stroke between the second and third seasons. Adele Cecil, who becomes Morse's girlfriend near the back end of the series, disappears in the final episode with only a brief comment that she had decided to move to Australia and break off their relationship. It turns out later in the episode that Morse very likely cheated on her with a woman who eventually became the final murder victim he ever investigated. DCI Bell appeared in the first episode as a rival with Morse for the post of Superintendent. He appeared in one other episode supervising Morse's investigation and was not heard from since.

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds
 Inspector Morse / int_7ec94d53
comment
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Combined with Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds, Phil Hopkirk in "The Infernal Serpent". Already a widower, he discovered that his young daughter had been sexually abused by Matthew Copley-Barnes, and in a fit of drunken rage, went to assault him. Unfortunately, between the booze and the heavy rain that night, he ended up punching a completely different person — still only with enough force that most people would have gotten nothing more a bad concussion, but the person he punched just happened to suffer a serious heart defect, resulting in his death. At the end of the epsiode, Hopkirk destroys the garden he had spent months tending to in a (Anti-)Villainous Breakdown, before being dragged away by the police, an utterly broken man. As one last kicker, Copley-Barnes ends up being murdered anyway, by another former victim.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: A pretty literal example occurs in "Masonic Mysteries" when the Big Bad tries to murder Morse by setting his flat on fire while he sleeps. After surviving the attempt, Morse finds out that the device that started the fire was concealed in a tape of a notoriously bad version of The Magic Flute. Amusingly, Morse seems more annoyed at the notion of having that recording in his collection than he does the attempt on his life or the near-destruction of his flat.

Our Lawyers Advised This Trope: One episode had to have a particularly embarrassing disclaimer added to the end credits. The story involved Morse investigating a murder in a screwed-up upper-class family, with an extreme Asshole Victim named Sir John Balcombe. Unfortunately, it was realised too late that the Asshole Victim had exactly the same first name, surname, and knightly title as a senior judge, forcing a disclaimer to be read out after the episode explaining that the character had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the real person.

Alas, Poor Villain: "Deadly Slumber" marks one of the few times Morse shows deep sympathy for the killer. The killer's young daughter had been rendered brain dead during what should have been a minor surgery thanks to cost-cutting on the part of the clinic which treated her, and the man had taken revenge on the family which owned the clinic. When the Asshole Victim's son calls the killer a monster, Morse bluntly replies that he had been made monstrous.

"Service of All The Dead," even compared to most other episodes of the show. Not only does it have the highest bodycount of any Morse episode, it also features themes of pedophilia and infanticide — the latter of which the killer gleefully admits doing For the Evulz — and even has Morse knowingly committing perjury to get the murderer's accomplice off with a lighter prison sentence, simply because he's attracted to her.

The effect of the Setting Update only becomes pronounced with the prequel Endeavour, initially set in 1965 - it follows the TV chronology, so its setting is 20+ years before the original series, not five.

Small Reference Pools: Completely averted due to both Morse and the show's writers having an extensive knowledge of classical music, leading to some obscure references that only a few fans will get.

Wicked Stepmother: Morse had a dreadful relationship with his stepmother Gwen. He claims that he only developing his love of reading poetry to annoy her, and that her petty bullying almost drove him to suicide. Fortunately, he has a much better relationship with his half-sister Joyce and her husband and children.

Loophole Abuse: In "Twilight of the Gods", Andrew Baydon uses one legal maneouvre after another to block Lithuanian academic Victor Ignotas from telling the world that, rather than a Holocaust survivor, he was, in fact, a concentration camp guard. However, Victor will soon be charged with attempted murder after attempting to assassinate Baydon and hitting an opera singer instead - and there's no rule to block him spilling his guts in the witness box.

Never One Murder
 Inspector Morse / int_b41b9606
comment
Never One Murder: Generally there are around three or four murders an episode. Sometimes the series plays with this trope, however — "The Wolvercote Tongue" for instance has one actual murder, one death from natural causes, and one person who ends up breaking his own neck while fighting with an angry husband.

My Beloved Smother: One of the two murderers in "The Sins of the Fathers" lives with his very overbearing mother. Subverted in that despite her obnoxious behaviour, she isn't actually responsible at all for the murders, and that it was his embittered old grandmother who poisoned his mind at an early age.

Adaptational Timespan Change: The events of the novel Service of All the Dead take place over several months, with Morse having to take over the investigation mid-way through from Inspector Bell who comes down with the flu. In the TV adaptation of the same name, the entire case takes place over a span of a few days (save for the court sequence at the end, which is a few weeks later) and thus drastically cuts down Bell's role, having Morse leading the investigation from the start.

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Occurs in several episodes. "Service of All the Dead", where first 'murder' victim is not as dead as Morse and Lewis thought, and uses the opportunity this brings him to kill everyone he felt wronged him. "The Last Enemy", where a a brain damaged man with mere months to live is compelled to murder everyone who even remotely slighted him over the course of his career. "Happy Families" where the relative of a murdered man ends up killing nearly all of the members of the family who caused his death.

comment
Sentenced to Down Under: In "Promised Land", Morse and Lewis are trying to find a former gang member who was moved to Australia under a witness protection scheme. When the Australian police find out about this, they remark that they thought Britain had decided to stop sending them their criminals. This trope is later referenced in "The Wench Is Dead" when Morse is forced to go on sick leave and busies himself by re-investigating a murder case from Oxford during the 1860s, which he suspects resulted in three wrongful convictions. The men were sentenced to hang, but one found religion in prison and became a model inmate. For this his sentence was commuted at the last minute to transportation (presumably to Australia given the time period).

The Not-Love Interest: Morse is too ... Morse to be exactly paternal, but Lewis still manages to be his Most Important Person, to the point that he leaves a third of his estate to Lewis and Lewis finds that one of the few pictures in Morse's house is of himself and Morse in front of Morse's Jag. The episode 'The Way Through The Woods' features Morse investigating a crime previously investigated by Lewis and Morse's rival DCI Johnson. A lot of the episode plays as if Lewis has returned to Morse after having an affair with Johnson.

"The Day Of The Devil" features themes of Satanism, domestic abuse, rape and animal murder. The episode's main villain, John Peter Barrie, is also one of the most disturbing and insane in the entire series, being a Satan-worshipping serial rapist and Master of Disguise. It's also one of the bloodiest and most violent episodes in the series to boot.
