Scholar's Blog Spoiler Zone Update

I've posted a spoilerish review of the first episode of the TV series, Lewis, over on the Scholar's Blog Spoiler Zone. I put it over there for the American fans who don't want their viewing to be spoiled since I've no idea when the show will air in the US, so considered yourselves warned if you look before you've seen the episode!

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.
