Masonic Mysteries - and that's it.
Review date: 2008-05-07 Rating: 10 out of 10
May I begin with a plea to Amazon? Please can we have lists of episodes for TV box sets and other multi-item products? It would be a huge help in knowing what you are getting as a customer. The "series" element in Morse can be a bit confusing, as in this case where "series 4" consists solely of one story, "Masonic Mysteries".
I am speaking as someone who has already bought the episode in question as part of a 2-disc set including "second time around", which was probably a better buy in the long run i.e. two episodes for about the same money.
However, Masonic Mysteries itself is an exciting instalment, with an entertaining if slightly surreal plot. My own favourite moment is when Supt Strange is faced with the fact that a virus has got into the Police computer system (this is back in the dear old 90's.) "You mean to say we're not secure?" he blusters. Such endearing naivety is surely priceless in the internet jungle in which we all now live.
It would be irreligious of me as a Morse nut to drive anyone away from buying this. It is a a great episode, but JUST ONE episode. As long as we've got that clear, enjoy!
