  • (2020), No. 9 1 Finding Inspector Morse in The
    Finding Inspector Morse in the Archives In my first morning in the New College archives I was talking with College Archivist, Jennifer Thorp, about the good old days of open stacks when you could stumble across something more interesting than the book you were looking for. It struck me that archives held out that long-lost promise of academic serendipity and so it turned out to be. I was in the archives to research the College’s leading role in coresidence—the admission of women to the formerly men’s colleges. Although New College was the first Oxford College to formally raise the issue of admitting women it was not among the first to do so and I wondered why this was the case. I hoped to discover the answer in the archives. As I read the pamphlet ‘Ten Years of Women at New College’ I came across a quote from one of the first women to live in New College. Her first impression of the College was ‘this would make a fantastic film set’. As a fan of Inspector Morse—and just about anything to do with crime fiction—I suspected that an episode or two of Inspector Morse had probably been filmed here and I tried, unsuccessfully, to recall which episodes they were based on my having by now been in College for a full week as a Visiting Fellow. And, of course, having memorized every nook and cranny of this marvellous place. But I was not here to ponder whether Morse has ever strolled the quads of New College.

Becoming Morse in Endeavour: the prequel as locus of reconstruction of the past? 1 Becoming Morse in Endeavour: the prequel as locus of reconstruction of the past? Armelle Parey Introduction 1 The figure of Inspector Morse first appeared in a novel by Colin Dexter, Last Bus to Woodstock, in 1975. By the time the character reached the TV screen in 1987, impersonated by John Thaw (in The Dead of Jericho), Colin Dexter (1930-2017) had already published 7 of the 12 novels he wrote in total around the figure of the grumpy opera- loving inspector. The TV adaptation, Inspector Morse, consisted in 33 films, broadcast in series or as “specials”, aired on ITV between 1987 and 2000, finishing with the adaptation of The Last Remorseful Day (1999) in which the character dies1. Following the death of John Thaw in 2002, Dexter stipulated in a clause in his will that no other actor should reprise the role2.

  • The Golden Compass
    Inspector Morse in Oxfordshire Oxford has long been home to Morse author Colin Dexter and famously became the backdrop to his popular murder mystery novels. It is not surprising that when ITV came to shoot the 33 Morse films, Oxford and the surrounding county consistently made it on to the screen. Inspector Morse is best known for an appreciation of beer, Wagner compositions, crossword puzzles, and zipping around his beloved city of dreaming spires in a red Jaguar car, usually accompanied by his long- suffering sidekick Sergeant Lewis played by actor Kevin Whateley. Enjoy a taste of Oxfordshire as you wind your way around some unmistakeable county locations in pursuit of mystery, Morse and murder! 1. Sheep Street 33, Burford The picturesque medieval town of Burford (known as the “Gateway to the Cotswolds”) features in The Remorseful Day where John Barron falls to his death from a ladder.

  • I First Glimpsed the Magnificent Gothic Spires of Oxford on My Iniɵal Trip To
    VOLUME 8, ISSUE 1 Page 1 CRACKING THE MORSE CODE ON A VISIT TO OXFORD BY MERIL MARKLEY I Įrst glimpsed the magniĮcent gothic spires of Oxford on my iniƟal trip to Europe, as a 19ͲyearͲold, on the VasͲ sar Madrigal Singers’ tour. The highlight of our journey was singing in Oxford’s Holywell Music Room, a concert hall where the Ɵtans of the 18th century music world, Handel and Haydn, had also performed. However, there had been liƩle Ɵme between rehearsals and performances to explore the city. I had always wanted to go back and so was delighted when my husband, Michael, proͲ posed that we spend a few days there in conͲ juncƟon with a business trip to London. His desire was not born of academic curiosity or classical music but rather sprang from theInspectorMorse TV seͲ ries that began in 1987 and ran through 2003, followed by sequels called InspectorLewis and a prequel called Endeavour(aŌer Morse’s improbable Įrst name). Making lavish use of the city and its colleges, the series have excelled at transforming fans into tourists while sparking a coƩage industry of MorseͲrelated oīerings.* The InspectorMorse novels, from which the TV series derived, were the brainchild of Classics scholar, crossͲ word maven, and Cambridge graduate, Colin Dexter. His ĮcƟonal policeman was an Oxford graduate, curmudgͲ eonly bachelor, aĮcionado of grand opera, and veteran Ɵppler who never touched wine. The murders Morse invesƟgated involved complex lives and plots. Homicides sprang from jealousy (whether romanƟc or academͲ ic), philandering, revenge, drugͲdealing, or to put an end to blackmail.

  • Endeavour on MASTERPIECE MYSTERY!
    Born to Sleuth Endeavour Starring Shaun Evans as Detective Constable Endeavour Morse Sunday, July 1, 2012 at 9pm ET on PBS "Shaun Evans is beguiling in the title role…" - The Guardian (UK) Before Inspector Morse, there was the rookie Constable Morse, fed up with police work and ready to nip his career in the bud by handing in his resignation. That is, until a murder turned up that only he could solve. Shaun Evans (The Take, The Virgin Queen) stars as the young Endeavour Morse, before his signature red Jaguar but with his deductive powers already running in high gear, on Endeavour, airing on MASTERPIECE MYSTERY! July 1, 2012 on PBS. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the UK premiere of Inspector Morse in 1987, Endeavour turns back the clock to 1965 to tell the story of the making of the legendary detective, who was played by John Thaw in 33 episodes of Inspector Morse that aired on MYSTERY! from 1988 to 2001. Thaw died in 2002. But his daughter Abigail Thaw (Vanity Fair) makes a very special appearance in Endeavour. Novelist Colin Dexter authored the Morse plots and characters, including the thrilling back-story to Endeavour, which is scripted by Russell Lewis. Lewis also created the spinoff series Inspector Lewis, featuring the exploits of Morse’s sergeant. Endeavour co-stars Roger Allam (The Queen) as Inspector Thursday, Morse’s mentor on the Oxfordshire Constabulary; Richard Lintern (Page Eight) as Professor Rowan Stromming, an Oxford don shocked to see the inside of a murder inquiry; Charlie Creed-Miles (White Teeth) as used Jaguar dealer Teddy Samuels; Patrick Malahide (Middlemarch) as a high-handed government minister; and James Bradshaw (Brideshead Revisited) as police pathologist Dr.
