Who watched Lewis last night?

[Smowball]

Am really enjoying this series, even Mr Smow is pretending that he is letting me hog the remote but he secretly likes it me thinks lol

[rockyracoon]

I love Lewis, it's the best thing on TV at the mo, and there's only 1 left, boohoo. At least it's been commissioned for at least one more series. I wonder when Lewis retires, will we have a programme called Hathaway? hope so, he's delish.

[craft1948]

I'm enjoying it..............I think Fox has grown into his role, and I actually prefer Lewis to Morse.

[Smowball]

Yep, agree with you both. Didnt think Lewis would work as a programme after Morse, but it does. Dont you think Lewis will get together with the lady doc/whatever her correct job title is?

[Brenden]

Excellent, hope he finishes the series with the pathologist and not killed off.

Brilliant .I love Laurence Fox.I saw an article somewhere recently that there will only be one more series as Kevin Whately thinks it'll be time to bow out before he becomes the ageing copper a la Frost .
Be nice if they did a Hathaway .But there is going to be a series of Endeavour The pilot was really good .Morse as a young policeman .

[craft1948]

I always thought Morse was a miserable git.................

[rockyracoon]

He was craft wasn't he, I'd much rather Hathaway as a series that Endeavor.

*than*

[shaneystar2]

I thought Endeavour was good .Did you see it ?
He wasn't a bit like Morse became which was basically a grumpy old man .It was set in 1965 .
Shaun Evans was great in it but Roger Allam stole it really as his superior officer .

[rockyracoon]

Shaney, I thought it was good, and I would be happy to watch it, but it was nowhere in the league of Lewis.

[Baldric]

Yeh, I saw it, Oxford was my nearest 'Big Town' in my formative years, so it's good to see some old haunts, sadly not as many as when Morse was doing the rounds though.

[shaneystar2]

I just thought it was interesting to see what he had been like as a young copper and liked the era .Being a sixties gal !
What I do like though is Inspector Gently which is on again soon with a new series . Martin Shaw ...drool :-)

[rockyracoon]

Agree with you on Inspector Gently, excellent series, and yes indeedy, Doyle still has it!

[Morsefan]

Endeavour has been commissioned as a series as well. Four will be made and shown in 2013. Can't wait !.

[douglas9401]

I quite enjoy the pace of the programme however:

Is Oxford really full of chinless lovelorn knobs and conniving beatches out to slay each other for the merest transgression?
Are all mature adults in a position to tell police that they'll deign to speak to them re a murder investigation when they're less busy with their art gallery/hedge fund business/election of new college supremo?
Are there that many arking places on any gven street?

[douglas9401]

parking/given^^

Apologies.

Whereas in Morse you had the plodding sergeant assisting the cerebral inspector, in Lewis you have a cerebral sergeant assisting a plodding inspector.

Smowball - Why does Mr Smow have to pretend not to like it? I think it's great Mrs Dave50 and I watch it together and I'm not embarrassed.

[Tilly2]

I haven't watched Lewis but I have read all of the Inspector Morse books. Lewis is married to Mrs. Lewis isn't he? Did something happen to her after Morse died?

[craft1948]

I think she died in a hit and run..................
