Comment on TV crime fiction as period drama by Roy Stafford

I’m bemused by this. It’s a prequel and therefore its whole raison d’ȇtre is to be derived from the earlier series and to try to represent a character who later grew into the character in the original series. I think that the scripts of the two I’ve seen do far have been quite carefully thought through in terms of how a young Morse might have behaved.

This series clearly owes its life on TV to the earlier success of Inspector Morse. I have watched most of one episode, Endeavour up against a serial-killer who pits his wits against the young Morse. It seemed very derivative. The two main characters are pretty good, but it was a long way from the original Morse. The best of these had a central theme that became fairly complex. Of course, I may have just picked on a weak episode in the series.

Hi Roy

Please can you get in touch. My mum is Vicky Redwood. The news that this film is being restored is do exciting for us as a family. My mum is not very well which makes the news that this film is to be Re-released in the UK even more significant.

I’m so happy I found this.

Thank you

Caroline Ignatius

Hi Roy,
Thanks for your kind words – I’m still playing with the layout of my site as I’m transitioning it over to include more film things but indeed I’m going to look at using tags.
I think my opinion on 1913 Massacre was completely out of touch with everyone else but I guess these things happen sometimes!

Thanks Kieron. It was good to see an interesting range of responses on all the blogs. I enjoyed reading yours (but I should tell you I rather like Arlo Guthrie!). I don’t know if you use tages on your blog, but it’s useful if you can tage your BIFF posts so that one link brings them all up.

Completely agree with how busy the festival was this year – I managed to go to just over 20 films and was exhausted by the end! I missed out a couple I wanted to see (including The Chess Players) too which is a great sign for a festival.

Agree too with the different strands of attendees (and thanks for linking to one of my reviews – much appreciated!) – think I’m probably more than likely in the second of the three although I did delight in seeing the Dodge Brothers, etc

And agree with news re: Mr Young – fantastic!

Really enjoyed your coverage of the festival throughout.
Thanks!
