The unlucky in love Morse thinks for a fleeting moment that things may be different when he meets the beautiful Anne Staveley (Gemma Jones) but it is a love destined not to be when she is found hanging from a beam in mysterious circumstances. Lewis, placed under Morse's wing, quickly learns the Inspectors unorthodox ways and the pair set out to uncover the truth behind Anne's death...

The Dead of Jerico is written by Oscar Winning Anthony Minghella and adapted for television from the book of the same name.

This, their first investigation firmly establishes Morse and Lewis as a winning team and is the start of a long and lasting partnership. An intense debut episode, gripping from the outset. An added bonus for Doctor Who fans is that Patrick Troughton guest stars in this episode.

If you haven't already been following Morse on TV, this is definitely one to get you hooked.

 

Nicholas Quinn is a partially deaf member of the examination syndicate board until he is found dead at his home, having stumbled upon a scheme to sell examination questions to the Middle East. Could romance be on the cards once again for Morse? He becomes increasingly attracted to Monica (Barbara Flynn) but as he further investigates, he begins to suspect that she too may be involved...

The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn sees two murders and a nasty case of bribery and corruption. Morse soon comes to the conclusion that it is all a question of logic and once again Morse's Law prevails.

An accurate adaptation of the novel of the same name although it appears a bit slow in places, but plenty of deduction is required to work out who did it and more importantly, how.

The DVD also includes a 20 photo production gallery - nothing flash, but what else did you want for £15? Blood?
