Inspector Morse Set Eight: The Death of the Self



A Grotesque Family, Return of a Con Man, and a young Sean Bean!
This is Set Eight of eleven "Inspector Morse" Sets. Each Set has three episodes/discs. Don't confuse these eleven "Sets" with the previously issued (but still available) "Collection Sets". Each of the six "Collection Sets" cost more, as each has more episodes/discs than these Sets.

This Set has three episodes, which originally aired in March and April of 1992. They were the three middle episodes, in the same order, in the BBC's original Series 6. (In England, they have "series", not "seasons".)
Episodes:
Happy Families
The Death of the Self
Absolute Conviction

HAPPY FAMILIES:
It's Lady Emily Blacombe's birthday. Her friends and family are singing "Happy Birthday", but nobody, including Emily, looks the least bit happy. Her friend, Margaret Cliff, says, "Everyone you love is here." Emily cries, "Not everyone", which is greeted by rolling eyes and worse by her husband and sons.

And what a husband and sons. Sir John is head of...

Great!
I got sucked in to this because of the Inspector Lewis series on PBS. He kept referring to his old pal Morse and I finally couldn't stand it any more and bought the entire Morse series. Well worth it in my opinion. You could see the quality get better through the years and I feel that if I go to Oxford I may actually feel a bit closer. :)

Inspector Morse Set Eight
John Thaw plays the brilliant, enigmatic and somewhat irascible Inspector Morse whose inherent instincts always lead to solving the crimes which are often convoluted and
complex leaving the viewer with surprising endings. No one makes murder mysteries better than the British and I can highly recommend this series if you enjoy well-written,
well-acted crime dramas. I would buy from this vendor again through Amazon.com of course!
