Last week viewers were reminded that Inspector Morse creator Colin Dexter wrote a clause in his will banning anyone else playing the part of the detective after his death – to prevent future actors 'competing' with John Thaw.
The author died in 2017 and a memorial service was held at Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford the following year.
Before he died he made it clear that he did not want any other TV dramas to follow Endeavour in the series - Inspector Morse, Lewis and Endeavour was enough.
