Inspector Morse: The Day Of The Devil / Twilight Of The Gods John Thaw 2002 DVD

Two more cases for the ale-drinking Oxford detective. In ‘The Day of the Devil’ Morse (John Thaw) finds himself in a race against time when criminal mental patient John Barrie (Keith Allen) escapes from his high security prison. Barrie, a master of disguise, indulges in a lethal game of cat and mouse, skilfully eluding the police’s manhunt and forcing an increasingly desperate Morse to second-guess him before time runs out. In ‘Twilight of the Gods’ Morse investigates when an attempt is made on the life of one of his favourite opera singers, Gladys Probert (Sheila Gish). As he looks deeper into the case, he uncovers a scandal dating back to the Second World War, and discovers a connection between a murdered journalist and the founding of a new college at Oxford University.
