Morse - In the Shallows

4 Extra Debut. An Oxford student out of his depth, a don dead in the river - and a philosopher who needs Morse’s help. Stars Neil Pearson.

Terrible things happen - even in beautiful places and among highly-educated people.

A mysterious pair of students appear to be fish out of water, a Don’s found dead in the river - and an attractive philosopher pleads for help to save her career.

Morse, Lewis and Strange are back on their criminally fertile Oxford patch.

It's still the early 1990s when computers, mobiles, digital media and sophisticated forensic techniques are not yet in use.

Morse's detection methods rely on instinct, acutely honed observational skills and dogged gumshoe perseverance.

Starring Neil Pearson, Lee Ingleby and Pip Torrens.

Colin Dexter's Oxford detectives feature in a story devised by former Morse TV writer Alma Cullen, dramatised by Richard Stoneman.
