R.G.Cole is an ageing University don, a Wagner lover and somewhat outlandish in his behaviour, after a night out with friend, young German Richard Helm, he is strangled in his own home. Helm provides Lewis with evidence suggesting a link back to Morse. Meanwhile students Jack Roth and Milo Hardy literally fight for the attention of the beautiful Sarah Oriel.
This is a very, very good episode, the story is first rate, totally engaging, its deep and complex, truly manages to hold the attention. As always there is the wonderful accompanying music, which is somewhat toned down here. No gimmicks, no nonsense, just great story telling.
Lewis is particularly good, you see a big switch in his character, his intelligence has grown. School boy German.
Cheryl Campbell and Ben Batt steal the show, both are excellent throughout. I find myself wondering if Rebecca Front ever did much in the role of Innocent, a tiny part in this episode.
8/10
