- TriviaIn Inspector Morse (1987), Morse and Lewis worked for the Thames Valley Police - the actual police force that is responsible for this part of the country. However in Lewis (2006), Lewis and Hathaway work for the fictitious Oxfordshire Police Force because the producers were not allowed to use the name, uniforms, or emblems of Thames Valley Police and could not film at St Aldate's Police Station. It is thought that this is due either to Home Office security restrictions in connection with the Iraq war or because of a lack of cooperation by a newly appointed Chief Constable.

Featured review
I've been enamored with British mysteries since I was in college (eons ago) and of course I've seen Inspector Morse and then Endeavour. I didn't find these until later in life and was absolutely taken by them. Addicted is a better word. As I finished Endeavour (I've not seen series 8 yet) I was sad that I figured I'd never see a mystery series that good again. But found this spin off and after two seasons I have to say it's far better than those two. I love this show. It's the writing in this series and less the acting. The actings great but Endeavours characters were better but the mysteries and the plot are much better here. I can't say enough good things about the show except to say if you've not seen it and are a fan of these types of shows this one is a MUST WATCH! And the acting is too notch I just thought Endeavours young Morse was exceptional. Enjoy !! I think I'm going to have to get Britbix to continue watching all the great shows of the BBC etc. They just don't do it like this in the US, that's for sure. I wouldn't trade an episode of this for any US movie I've seen in the last 5 years!
