With the death of Inspector Morse and also the death of the actor who played the character. It seemed the end of the road for Morse and sidekick Lewis.
In 2006, Lewis returned in his own one off special which later became a series.
There are plenty of nods to Inspector Morse including a fleeting glimpse of a red Jaguar in this story.
Inspector Lewis (Kevin Whately) has been working abroad and is now back in Oxford and teamed with new sidekick DS Hathaway.
They investigate the death of a brilliant maths student who discovered something startling. The suspect is a tearaway maths student who comes from a wealthy family and hates his uncle who he blames for his father's death.
The casting of Michael Maloney as a Dean of mathematics meant that you did not have to look too hard as to who the actual murderer would be. The motive behind it all was pretty outlandish.
Lewis is now older, wiser and more world weary as he has lost his wife. Lewis has to provide the answers whereas before he asked the questions.
Hathaway is the posh university educated apprentice. Somehow I doubt Laurence Fox will be appearing in his own spin off twenty years from now.
