Justice, it should be seen as being above all. The knowledge that justice must not only be done but seen to be done is the overriding factor in any democratic society. What happens when justice is served by an unhinged mind? The reasons of impartiality become skewed and twisted and whilst it gets the job of retribution done, the voyeuristic viewer becomes entangled in the right of death debate too closely.

When Inspector Morse finally solved his last case in The Remorseful Day, television and crime literature lost one of the greatest fictional detectives. Portrayed with aplomb by John Thaw on the small screen, he made the character that Colin Dexter created, seem entirely and wonderfully human. With faults that we all carry, namely, arrogance in our own belief, prone to falling in love with the wrong person and a liking for the odd pint, Morse is quite arguably the best fictional detective of the last 100 years.
