A new decade, familiar crime. It's 1970 and the body of barmaid Molly Andrews is discovered strangled after the New year's celebrations.
Slightly more atmospheric than previous episodes, this had a very different feel, one I particularly liked. A cracking episode, an interesting dynamic, a case where Morse is missing at the very start, and arrives late to the party.
Glorious production values as we've come to expect over the years, the beginning in particular, fabulous, very cinematic, finally we see Morse lost in the magic of an opera. I am delighted to see that his moustache has gone, Evans outstanding as always. I thought Richard Harrington was also great as Dr Ferman.
The recent news that Series eight would be the last was devastating, but like all good things, it must end, for now though, he's back, and if this is anything to go by, we're in for another great Series. 9/10
