Morse must unravel the mystery of a missing college Don and a mutilated corpse found floating in the canal at nearby Thrup. When Morse discovers intense rivalry for a prestigious post at the college has led to murder, he has to find out which contender is the killer...

The Last Enemy is adapted from Colin Dexter's Book The Riddle of the Third Mile and sees the Chief Inspector stepping on toes at fairly high levels. This earns him a sharp reprimand from his superiors.

Morse endeavours to pursue his love interest with his new, female pathologist, despite a few wise cracks made by Lewis after he susses the Inspectors' soft spot for her.

Extras on the disc include an impressive photo gallery, including an exceptional picture of Morse's 2.4 Jag.

 

One of Morse's old cricket friends turns up out of the blue and then appears to commit suicide. When Morse digs deeper it seems it was no suicide and another cricket relate death soon has Morse and Lewis on the case...

Deceived by Flight has Lewis is in his element, as he works undercover as a member of the cricket team. As the case continues Morse stumbles upon a narcotics investigation and must uncover the Zen riddle of "the sound of one hand clapping."

Another excellent episode written by Oscar winning Anthony Minghella, who also wrote The English Patient. A few soap stars pop up including a young Chris Tate from Emmerdale and a young PC Quinnan from The Bill.

Dr Russel and Lewis get a bit heated discussing the moral issue of homosexuality and this episode shows just how far technology has come since the 1980's with an early example of one the first Motorola mobiles. An excellent episode.
