Residents of Oxford in this post-Colin Dexter epoch have the life expectancy of subalterns on the Somme in 1916, and before Lewis (Kevin Whately) finally unravelled the deceitful innards of the case, we'd had the suicide by hanging of a neurotic student, a cadaver which had been mouldering in a college attic for decades, and another prominent corpse floating in the Cherwell. The final story, "Intelligent Design" (its traditional two-hour format split into two single hours) sustained a reliably Lewisian tenor, with its tale of a murdered academic, Professor Seager, who'd just been released from prison, where he'd been dispatched following a drunk-driving incident in which a young girl had died.
