Lewis

You may recall that last March I mentioned watching a TV show named Lewis, a follow up to the much-loved and much-missed Inspector Morse (featuring Kevin Whately's Sergeant Lewis, sidekick to the late John Thaw's Morse. The brilliant news for fans is that a 3 episode series of Lewis has now been made (some of it was filmed literally just up the road from the building where I work) and it will be aired on February 18 in the UK. I won't catch it, but the Region 2 Lewis DVD boxset will be released in the UK on March 12. It's a 5-disc boxset, featuring the three new episodes, the original "pilot" episode from last year, and various features (including a "Making Of"). Needless to say, it's already on my Amazon wishlist ! I've no idea when Lewis will be airing in the US, I'm afraid, but I can tell you that the DVD of the "pilot" is available from Amazon.com as Mystery! Inspector Lewis.
