Trivia
When Morse visits his mother's grave, it can be seen that his mother's date of death is 1950. As Morse was twelve at that time, his birth date must therefore have been 1938, making him 27 at the time of this story.

Goofs
DI Thursday insinuates that DC Morse's firing range results were very good but the footage of the qualifying at the shooting range shows Morse firing in two shot bursts and the gun barrel during each second shot is obviously pointed way too high to hit the target because of the recoil from the first shot.

Quotes
Dr. Max DeBryn: [on being told that his forensic evidence is contradicted by Judy Vallens's statement] Put it this way, Morse. Either I, a Home Office pathologist of some years' standing, have taken leave of my senses, or she's a liar.

My new detective collection!

Actually, I'm not a fan of opera. Therefore at the beginning, this show seemed quite normal to me. The plots are also hard to be brilliant.

However, Shaun just performed so well and he successfully built a good detective, which is so rare for me for many years.

And not only that, the theme music play by Barrington Pheloung fit Constable Morse perfectly. After the last scene of the first season, I didn't lose one minute to looking for the music and download it.

There are still 7 seasons left for me. Luck!!!
