As Seen On A&E And PBS Mystery!

Catch the award-winning actor, John Thaw (Kavanagh Q.C., A Year In Provence, Goodnight Mister Tom) in the very first episode that started it all! The enigmatic and romantic Morse, a man who never uses his Christian name and finds solace in a real ale, classical music and difficult crosswords, never quite finds romance. He hopes things will turn out differently with the beautiful Anne Stavely (Gemma Jones), but it is a love destined not to be when she is found dead under mysterious circumstances. Morse suspects murder and sets out to discover the truth. Joining him is Sergeant Lewis (Kevin Whately) and their investigation into The Dead of Jericho is the beginning of a lasting partnership.
