The darker side of Morse as romance goes wrong - By: visnet@mac.com, 30 Jan 2002
An interesting pair to put together on one tape.

One shows the darker side of Morse the other a traditional Morse/Oxford feast for the eyes.

The book "The Dead of Jericho" is one of the finest Colin Dexter outings - & it moved well onto the smalll screen. Once again the possibility of a relationship for the romanticallly inept Morse is the central theme of The Dead of Jericho. This is when you see the complexity & the sadness at the core of the Morse character. This is one of my favorites.

The "Silent World of Nicholas Quinn" is a more traditional Morse romp through the murderous colleges of Oxford - with frustrated, (in alll possible ways) ambitious dons alll trying to knock each other off. Great fun - & with the background of Oxford, luducrously posh Dons with the glint of murder in their eyes, & those wonderful college quads this is also a visual feast.

What a way to spend 4 hours on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
