I am on the Inspector Morse walking tour in Oxford, which is led by a donnish man called Alastair. We look like the funeral cortege of a man whose death is under investigation.
Oxford is a major character in Morse. I think of it as the antagonist. There is something very cold about the city, and unexpressed.
