Morse attends a rehearsal of the Magic Flute, there he discovers the body of Beryl Newsome, a lady he had become friendly with. He foolishly touches the murder weapon and becomes the number one suspect for the crime. Chief Inspector Bottomley is placed in charge of the crime, Morse has to battle against him, and pit his wits against Psycopath Hugo de Vries. Fortunately Morse has help from the faithful Lewis and old friend and colleague Desmond McNutt.
Masonic Mysteries stands out for me as possibly the best episodes of Morse, there are so many rich layers to it, finally Morse gets his arch nemesis, Holmes had Moriarty, Father Brown had Flambeau etc, every great detective needs a rival.
The regulars of course are on exceptional form, Thaw puts in a wonderfully strong showing, but as for guests, I thought Iain Cuthbertson was awesome in his admittedly small role, but Ian McDiarmid puts in one of the most memorable performances I can think of, he is utterly brilliant as de Vries, the closing scene between the two is an unbelievable moment.
Please introduce Hugo de Vries into an episode of Endeavour, how good would that be.
Look out for Mark Strong's small role as PC Mike Butterworth.
TV Gold 10/10 fabulously acted, awesome script, an episode that gets your heart rate going.
