Morse is hanging about with a group of idle rich, refusing Thursday's requests to return his natural curiosity takes him to the fair.

Gorgeous filming, beautiful music, once again the Inspector Morse prequel feels beautifully in character to the Morse series, I firmly buy into him being Morse. It boasts wonderful production values as always, it really feels like it's been well put together.
I loved the whole 60's vibe they had going on with this episode, they totally nailed it.
This was a really clever, and very engaging mystery, if the remainder of the series is as good as this, then we're in for a treat. Shaun Evans and Roger Allam were as always brilliant. Enjoyed it very much 8/10
