An old college roommate of Morse's, Anthony Donn (Daniel Massey), comes to Oxford for a cricket match and calls Morse after 20-years and wants to get together and talk. Morse soon gets distracted by a case where three people are killed in a hate crime in the fire bombing of a very liberal bookstore. Donn, who obviously had something on his mind to talk about with Morse, then turns up dead in his college lodging. Lewis replaces Donn on the cricket team the Clarets to go undercover. A cricket match between the Clarets and the Hearties, organized by another former college companion of Morse's, Roly Marshall (Norman Rodway), is disrupted when Peter Foster (Geoffrey Beevers) is found murdered in the changing rooms, stabbed in the chest with a pair of scissors. Nathaniel Parker appears in a minor part as Jamie, Roly's nephew (credited as "Nat Parker" in the episode's closing credits). |
