I always liked this kind of series where the ultimate goal is to catch the murder who did it, Some episodes better than others but in sum a good 1h30 where your stuck to the tv , good entertainment overall, Classification 88%

The one set in Oxford, based on Colin Dexter's books? I've seen a few of those, by no means all.
Did you watch the original Morse?
I lived in Oxford for a bit. Sometimes it was a bit puzzling watching that because the characters would go for a drink and walk up to the door of a pub, and then you'd see them drinking in a completely different pub. This probably gets done a lot in other shows and cities, where the director likes the look of the outside of say, The Eagle and Child but find they can't fit the cameras in it and finish the scene in The King's Arms. To me though it just looked like teleporting.

I used to watch a few of these types of programmes. I have also seen these "teleporting" occurrences in films set in my area. But perhaps worryingly, I also seemed to pin down geographic locations pretty accurately because of pub scenes: "This isn't set in my area, flippin' liars, I don't recognise any of these places! Oh wait, there's The George, oh yeah I know where that is."

There are lovely pubs there along with everything else (worth a check on BeerInTheEvening - you could even use Morse & Lewis as a guide). Expensive though.

Hey thanks Mudders, that's very nice of you, I appreciate the tips Oh you're very welcome. I'm not sure how good it is as advice anyway – I've never tried a Morse-themed pub-crawl myself, though I can vouch for the Bookbinders as I used to live 50 yards from it. Probably better advice is to check Oxford's own DailyInfo to see if anything interesting is going on when you visit.
