The Inspector Morse 25th Anniversary Collection

Here is a special treat for fans of Inspector Morse: the Inspector Morse 25th Anniversary Collection.

Crime novelist Colin Dexter first introduced the Oxford police officer in 1975 in Last Bus to Woodstock. Twelve years later John Thaw made his first appearance as Inspector Morse in "The Dead of Jericho", which was adapted from the fifth book in the series.

John Thaw went on to star in 33 episodes in the series. He became in the eyes of many — and probably most importantly, Colin Dexter — Endeavour Morse. As John Thaw's health failed in real life, so did Inspector Morse's in the books. Indeed, the final episode in which he starred, "The Remorseful Day", is adapted from the last of the books by Dexter to feature Morse, the one in which the detective dies. Thaw died just over a year later.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the award winning Inspector Morse television series, this complete murder mystery collection contains all thirty-three episodes plus three bonus programs: The Making of Morse, The Story of Morse, and the 25th anniversary special Inspector Morse's Oxford. Also included is the fascinating guidebook The Oxford of Inspector Morse by Bill Leonard.
