Thursday 12th August 2010
7pm for 7.30pm
Tickets: £37.50 (includes dinner & coffee)
Author Colin Dexter will talk about his best-known creation, Inspector Morse. After retiring from a 13-year teaching career, Colin Dexter began writing novels after reading a crime novel during a family holiday which he felt he could have written better! He will explain how Morse was adapted for TV and tell us what John Thaw was really like.
His first novel Last Bus to Woodstock was published in 1975. His famous character Inspector Morse has since appeared in 13 novels and numerous short stories. Inspector Morse was later adapted for the small screen and became a huge TV success.
Colin will also tell about his own walk-on parts in each episode! Colin is a gifted and immensely witty narrator.
