And I have to say its been a lot of fun! Not only are the episodes entertaining, well thought out and quite long (an hour and a half each, allowing them to really delve into the mystery) but seeing them casually walking around Oxford is awesome too. When I first started watching Lewis I would get excited every time they went somewhere I'd been or see. I even started to make a list:
- High Street
- All Soul's College
- Magdalen College
- Radcliffe Camera and Square
- Turf Tavern
- Eagle and Child Pub
- Radisson Hotel
- Oxford Castle
- Blenheim Palace
- Bodleian Library
- Covered Market
- Ashmolean Museum
- Oxford Rail Station
And really, this is just the places that I either wrote down or happen to remember. I'm sure there are more still that I missed or visited after I watched the episode they were featured in.
If you're interested in seeing the beautiful city that I've spent the last few months living in, and you like a good mystery, I would recommend checking out Inspector Lewis (it's available on Netflix).
Side note: on Halloween they were filming a made for tv movie called Endeavor as a prequel to Inspector Morse and we were able to walk through the set, which was pretty cool. I'll have to check that out as well.
It's a lot of fun to see a television show shot in areas that you just walk around when buying groceries, and I know that watching Lewis will be a great way to remember all the great times I had in Oxford.
