Last Seen Wearing is based on the second book by Colin Dexter, and while it starts off quite slowly, and doesn't have the most exciting storyline from Morse, it is still well looking out for. There is as always a wonderful script, and some excellent camera-work. My favourite was the close up of Morse reading the book at the beginning. It tells the story of a missing girl, who is thought by Morse as dead, but Lewis thinks differently. This is the first time where Morse and Lewis properly differentiate in opinion, providing a contrast between Morse's gruff persona to that of Lewis, which is chirpy and quite charming. John Thaw and Kevin Whately are excellent in the leads, and Peter Woodthorpe is also a delight to see. James Grout as Strange makes his second appearance here, the first one being briefly in Dead of Jericho. Susanne Bertish is also good as Cheryl Baines, and Peter McEnnery as Donald Phillipson. Frances Tomelty looks beautiful and acts more than adequately as Valerie's mother. The story, while not as exciting as something like Masonic Mysteries and Day of the Devil, is still an intriguing one. All in all, not Morse's best, but definitely a good one, and I will say, all the Morse episodes range from good to outstanding. 9/10 Bethany Cox
