Subject: Morse who are you? (spoiler)
Date: 22 Jan 93 21:00:11 GMT
Organization: Oxford University VAX 6620

Well the mystery of Morse continues.

The Today contacted some "SAS" morse code experts and nailed them to the TV
watching (and listening) to the video of the last episode Twilight of the Gods.

They detected .... E  R   N E  S  T..


                   ./._./_././.../_


 It was in the music in the background of the hospital  scene. With the opera
singer hooked up to the heart monitor.  A Central TV spokesperson replied
 Amusing..but wrong.

They also heard   Enoch          ./_./---/_._./....


The experts also detected.... Arthur  . _/._./_/..../.._/._.


They also 'heard'

  Ta Ta John,,  Ta Ta Kevin,,

(John Thaw  and Kevin Whately  {Morse and Lewis} )


Also several funnies.....

As Morse and Lewis walked down the great staircase the word "Step" was repeated

later the word "pings" was added in a later scene  The villian was Steppings.


When Doctor Martin was the suspect... the code was "DOC" and "Doctor Marten
Boots".

Barrington Pheloung stated that the code DID exist.. The idea of the late
producer Kenny McBain. but it could have included a few red herrings..!!

It was already well known (and advertised) he did spell "MORSE" and the
 registration of the Jaguar. But altered the notes slightly so they would fit.

 Colin Dexter admits that at first Morse never had a name just the initials 
R E Morse. but now who knows  !!!!.

All he does admit is that one day Morse gets a letter which will state his
 name in full and the past catches up with Morse....sparking off a new mystery.


As for his nickname PAGAN... a pagan is one who worships other than the
christian religion.. Ie Not a Christian but a Pagan...

Driving everyone "dotty".....!!!!!!!

I haven't watched ACG&S for quite a while now, Dale - we've seen all the
series so many times now it's lost a lot of it's enjoyment - so we are
giving it a miss for a while.

I have to agree with you about the "Tin Cup" campaigns - but what is the
alternative? - I don't know if you were watching PBS last Sunday, but
you would have to go a long way IMHO, to beat the two hours of "Prime
Suspect" followed by ninety minutes of "The Countess Alice" (Wendy
Hiller).
Although "Prime Suspect" is a rerun, I still think it is one of the best
TV programs I've seen - and the interview with the author and the actual
female Detective Chief Inspector was very well done and enhanced the
series.

I forgot the most important one from my last post.  I used to work on a
parrot farm in Blean, just outside Canterbury and I regularly had to load
birds (not *THOSE* sorts of birds!) into my Mini and trundle into London or
around there so they could be used in adverts.  One of these was the Dulux
ad from a couple of years back, one with Doves and the Dog and a rather
lovely young lady spinning around the usual white room holding a baby, you
may remember it.  Anyway, I was there at Pinewood studios and chatting to
the owners of the other members of Cast, Trevor (was on a BBC documentary
called `Clever Trevor' showing off his snakes and alligators etc suggested
I might like to work with him, he was a friend of my boss, never took him
up on the offer, decided to go back to University instead (FOOL!).  Also a
nice Vet. nurse whom I asked out (although the date was less than
successful, not my fault, what do you expect when the first thing she says
on the night is "you realise I am a Catholic" not that I object to that as
such, just kinda puts you on your guard) and the owner of *THE* Dulux
Dog!!!!

Well, claim to fame........

I patted the dog.

Well, Rimmer m'lad, it sounds like you're confusing two different episodes --
"Weapon" from season 2, which featured a clone of Blake, and "Blake", the
finale.  All I can say is, Blake in "Blake" is definitely human.

Whether or not he actually was the real Blake is a whole other debate...

L - Morning, Kenny.
Kenny - Morning, boss.  You seem very cheery today?
L - Maybe it's because I'm ending one chapter of my life, and
starting a whole new one, full of new excitements and new

K - Lynda, you know that tape Sarah told me about, the one where
Spike calls Zoe a bimbo, and says you're terrific.  I'd love to
hear it sometime.
L - You know what, Kenny, I think I may have misplaced it
somewhere.

Can anyone point me towards an episode guide for "Yes, Minister" and
"Yes, Prime Minister"? 

"Yes, Minister" has just finished being repeated on ABC-TV here in
Australia, and I noticed that some of the episodes were not shown in
the same order as the book "The Complete Yes Minister" (title?). I
would like to check an episode guide to see which order they were
originally shown. Also, now that "Yes, Prime Minister" is on I would
like to know how many episodes there are so that I can see if I have
enough tapes for it.

I've located some episode guides for some TV shows, but not for these
as yet. Any information would be appreciated. Apologies if this has
been asked before.

Cheers,

I regret that I cannot distinguish between one-off plays/films and series
for many of these titles, but I should think this is fairly comprehensive.
Perhaps others will be able to fill in further information.

Yes, you can regularly find John Motson in the Lower Red Lion in

Well, I think our report was okay...if it wasnt, well, bad luck. I'm not
about to kill myself over a design project when I've got so much work to
do.   Decision matrix???  We haven't even STARTED it yet!!!!  But naturally,
when we decide on our best solution (probably about two days before the whole
project has to be handed in) it WILL be fixed - just like my last design
project and the one before that...

I don't imagine the people starving in Somalia are particularly enjoying it

repetitive because no one has done anything about the situation.
