Lewis..when will you ever understand the subplot? by sourbugger
When in Oxford Last time, I got talking to lady at the AMT coffee bar by St Michael's church. She was telling me that she often met the creator of the 'Morse' series, Colin Dexter.Last time, he was sitting out at a bus stop in his usual set of bedraggled clothes...but he wasn't waiting for a bus. When my now found friend returned some hours later he was still there. Perhaps it is whre he gets all his great characters from.
Either way, get a hold of a DVD or two of the detective series. Each two hour masterpiece usually feature a couple of murders around Oxford. the labyrinthine plot is slowly revealed as morse trundles around Oxford in his trusty Mark II jaguar, down a few too many ales, and admonishes his sergeant for missing something vital.
I never get who 'dunnit', until fartoo late in the day.
It always bothered me somewhat - if there really are that many murders in Oxford, how come Morse and Lewis still kept their jobs ?
