The peak into the world of Ccrime drama that seems to dominate the British television schedules would not be the same without the treasure that is Inspector Morse or his younger incarnation Endeavour.

Not everything gets recorded in time, somewhere along the line events get muddled, facts get lost in rumour and legend and gaps appear in history. These gaps, although maddening for academics that have to hazard a guess at what could have happened to certain individuals in antiquity are for writers of science fiction and historical dramas pure gold. The journey they can take people on makes for a fascinating story and in Paul Magrs tale of long forgotten Queens of pre-English History, the absorbing The Lady Of Mercia, Big Finish’s Doctor Who series does what the series does best, it gets deep down and dirty in the historical stories of Humankind.

Be careful what you wish for, it’s been an underlying theme for Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror series. Whether it has been Hayley Atwell desiring to have one last moment with her husband who has been killed or the nightmarish and positively dystopian longing of perpetual retribution and televised public backlash for a heinous crime, the future has been a possibility; and decidedly and chillingly achievable.

I admit; I was quite prepared to hate it. However, the moment Barrington Pheloung’s musical composition started, a new dawn in the life of Morse began. This though wasn’t the chiselled, finally tuned, instinctive Morse that viewers first came across 25 years ago, this was a Morse that was nervous, shy, prone to mistakes, somewhat damned egotistical but still instantly loveable.
