Morse investigates the death of free Spirit and artist Harry Field, and in doing so gets dragged into Harry's world.
I very much enjoy this episode, not just for the story, which is excellent, but for the character play between Morse and Lewis, we get more from the relationship between the duo then ever before, the moment where the two discuss Lewis's promotion for example is a brilliant moment, shows how the pair developed over time.
Fair to say it starts off possibly a little on the slow side, but as it develops it really does turn into something special, the ending is first rate, very poignant.
Geraldine James and John Castle, two actors I adore watching do a fantastic job respectively, but it's the sheer class of Freddie Jones who steals the show as the wayward artist's father. An actor that is drowning in charisma, true quality.
Slightly different in format, Morse doesn't as such get a Female interest, but he has a friendship with Ian Matthews, who shares Morse's interest in Whisky and Art.
The 90's don't seem like that long ago, but when you check the decor out you realise it really was some time back.
Excellent, 9/10
