We have now seen in 'Endeavour' the young Morse getting himself romantically involved with a murder suspect, and yet here he only goes and does it again!
SLOW LEARNER, MORSE!
OK, this was filmed about 30 years before 'Endeavour', and maybe in the latter they were trying to show off this weakness he has when an attractive woman comes his way. If only Joan Thursday had married him he might not be the cantankerous old boozer he turned into.
But this had more bodies than Midsomer Murders, in fact double the number, since it is always three in that piece of tripe. Nevertheless this was a reasonable way to spend an evening in isolation, with a few good snacks and a glass of something from Scotland which Morse would have definitely liked..
However, Morse was all over Ruth like a rash right from the moment he first met her, invading her personal space right from the start, and even as long ago as the 80s "invading personal space" was a term that had come into regular use. I don't think a senior detective would ever have done that. Not even Morse.
I guess 6/10 is a fair score.
