'''''Inspector Morse''''' was a British [[Detective Drama]] based on a series of novels by Colin Dexter, which ran from 1987 to 2000. Set among the dreaming spires of [[Oxbridge|Oxford]], it starred [[John Thaw]] as the grumpy, intellectual and beer loving Chief Inspector Morse, and [[Kevin Whately]] as his cheerful Geordie sidekick Sergeant Lewis. During the course of each episode, the pair would investigate a murder, which would often involve complex university politics, bright but emotional students and the opportunity for Morse to utilise his love of classical music, literature and cryptic crossword puzzles.
The show was immensely popular in Britain, and John Thaw's portrayal of Morse is generally considered one of British television's most iconic characters. Still repeated fairly frequently on ITV3.
Sergeant Lewis later received his own spin-off in ''[[Lewis]]''. A [[Prequel]], ''Endeavour'', set in 1965 and starring Shaun Evans as the young Detective Constable Morse, first aired in 2012;
