"Perhaps she was", is one of the final lines in this sublime and beautifully crafted episode of Inspector Morse. I was crying by the time it was said, as were my mum and dad (he had been a policeman in from the 1950's to the 1970's) and it sums up the poignancy of the episode which deals as much with justice as it does familial love. Not only does this wonderful piece of drama focus on a mystery needing to be solved, it looks deeply into the depths of a parent's love for a child and the desire there is to be there, to protect and to care. All of the performances are excellent and you want all the characters, even the killer, to be heard and understood. If you never see any other Inspector Morse episode, see this one.
