The Inspector Morse TV series was one of the most successful detective stories of all time. It was broadcast in over 150 countries and watched by over 750 million people. Colin will talk about the adaptation of his novels and plots from the written word to performances.
Former classics master Colin Dexter is the creator of probably the best-known fictional Oxbridge alumnus in the country. He began writing the Inspector Morse novels in the early 1970s. In the mid-1990s, after 13 books, a handful of short stories and a long-running television series, Colin secured his retirement from writing Morse novels with The Remorseful Day. As well as being an Honorary Graduate of Brookes since 1998, Colin was recently awarded an Honorary Fellowship of St Cross College, Oxford.
