Mark DolanGUEST
But what I will say is there are several pieces in the jigsaw puzzle.
Mark DolanGUEST
If we're going to do a little Hercule Poirot, a bit of Miss Marple, okay, or for the UK audience, Inspector Morse, let's just piece together the evidence.
Mark DolanGUEST
Because if you look at this book, Swan Song, Diana, My Sister, it fits as part of a body of work alongside the book Spare.
Mark DolanGUEST
the Harry and Meghan Netflix documentary and the Oprah interview as various media platforms in which an attack has been made on the king and on the royal family.
BenHOST
I should change that.
BenHOST
I've also been watching Inspector Morse, but I was trying to find the ambient songs in that, and all I can get is classical music, so never mind.
BenHOST
Right, this is me, but Voices Radio is forever.
BenHOST
Keep it locked.
Andy HughesHOST
Yeah.
Neil BasuHOST
My other one's, uh, Inspector Morse, A, 'cause I love John Thaw-
Andy HughesHOST
Yeah
Neil BasuHOST
... because my earliest memory of John Thaw-
Tom CrowleyHOST
So it's like ultimate wish fulfillment for a young world traveling man.
Tom CrowleyHOST
But both utterly, like the Barrington Falun who did loads of British telly and did the Morse theme, did the score for Broken Sword and I still have it on my MP3 player.
Tom CrowleyHOST
He passed
John RainHOST
away, didn't he? Yeah, quite young.
Tom CrowleyHOST
A British company based in York in the
John RainHOST
UK.
John RainHOST
The famous fact about his theme to Morse, isn't it, is that it was in Morse code and actually played out some other duet.
John RainHOST
Yeah.
Danielle GibsonHOST
Because I was too busy on Wednesday.
Danielle GibsonHOST
I was watching Inspector Morse and the pilot of Murder, She Wrote.
Danielle GibsonHOST
So I really didn't have time to fit into my busy schedule with two-hour episode of Big
Brett RaderHOST
Brother.
Brendan ConnollyGUEST
Absolutely, yes.
Brendan ConnollyGUEST
I grew up in Oxford, the city of Inspector Morse.
Brendan ConnollyGUEST
I know you're very confused about this and you're not quite clear on the Oxford and Cambridge, but I grew up in Oxford.
Brendan ConnollyGUEST
And the Oxford you see on television is, looks like that.
22 MINS LATER
Brendan ConnollyGUEST
But if you listen to the murder, she wrote theme, which is built around the typewriter.
Brendan ConnollyGUEST
Yes.
Brendan ConnollyGUEST
And you listen to the Inspector Morse theme, which is built around Morse code.
Brendan ConnollyGUEST
Well, what do you do here? Well, Catherine's come up with one which has got the sound of pages turning, actually, as instrumentation.
Joe ClitheroeGUEST
Here's a prime example.
Joe ClitheroeGUEST
When I started writing my first book, when... something happened to Claire's adopted parents I went I started writing about the police getting involved and then she had to get investigated because you know she was like there on the scene and stuff and then my mum read it like the bit of it and she was like no this isn't this isn't like Inspector Morse this is meant to be a fantasy book you're writing so you know you can have anything happen to them I was like, oh, right.
Joe ClitheroeGUEST
Oh, yeah, okay.
Joe ClitheroeGUEST
So I completely changed that.
speaker_2HOST
OK, so the initial architectural template for Grace was built by Russell Lewis.
speaker_2HOST
Lewis is a titan of British television, best known for creating the critically acclaimed Inspector Morse prequel Endeavor.
speaker_1HOST
He knows his stuff.
speaker_2HOST
He fundamentally understood the unique hybrid anatomy of a Peter James novel.
Lee GoldbergGUEST
Thank God.
Lee GoldbergGUEST
So or look at Inspector Morse.
Lee GoldbergGUEST
Colin Dexter came to love Inspector Morse and began to write his books more like the Lewis Morse relationship in the TV show than what he had in his books.
Lee GoldbergGUEST
So have an open mind and allow the TV show to be its own thing or the movie to be its own thing.
Daniel PaisnerHOST
I think a good recent example of that would be Orange is the New Black, right? Which hardly – other than the first few episodes of the first season, hardly resembles the memoir on which it was based.
Cory HazlehurstHOST
This is gonna be absolutely fine."
Mark PackHOST
At the time, of course, he had just finished doing Inspector Morse, and obviously he's a brilliant actor.
Mark PackHOST
You know, immediately you're, you're not thinking he's Inspector Morse, you know, he is a complete different...
Mark PackHOST
But I think for the audience seeing, you know, you immediately feel you're in the safe hands of somebody, and actually you're in the safe hands of somebody who y- where you expect some things to go wrong but it all to come right in the end.
Mark PackHOST
So as it turns out, that makes the, the, the poignancy of the play, of the plot all, you know, work all the better.
58 MINS LATER
John CottonGUEST
I mean, I, I think you, you struggle to see anything that John Thaw did where you'd go, "That was, uh, a, a bit of an average, uh, performance."
Cory HazlehurstHOST
Mm.
John CottonGUEST
And he was just such a stunningly brilliant actor Um, as you say, you know, recently had just come out of doing Inspector Morse, and yet just moves into this part sort of effortlessly, and you're literally there, he is George Jones, leader of the Labour Party.
