“Death is Now My Neighbour” was always a good episode of Morse but it has an extra dimension now that Lewis and Endeavour exist. Morse almost goes out on a date with Lewis’ future wife, Strange mentions HIS wife, Roger Allam’s in it, and of course the reveal of Morse’s name!

Thanks so much to everyone who has already bought my book, and to those who are prompted to do so by this post. Obviously this isn’t THE Top 50 (just the Top 50 in the “Parodies” category) but I’m happy to have made it to 47th in ANY list with Terry Pratchett at the top of it!
