Hi fellow Morsonians. I noticed that my video of the radio drama House of Ghosts had been removed from Youtube and subsequently was not working in this post. So, I decided to upload it only to my website. I have split the video into three parts to make the uploading easier and more convenient. All details about the drama are below the videos. Enjoy.
An original drama written by Alma Cullen around the characters of Morse and Lewis created by Colin Dexter.
Who is Alma Cullen? She was involved in four episodes of Inspector Morse. She wrote three of them; The Death of the Self(1992), – Fat Chance (1991) and The Infernal Serpent (1990) and wrote the screenplay for The Secret of Bay 5B (1989).
The focus is on the time in Morse’s career when his mind was developing its incisive edge and his personal life was at its most complex.
The year is 1987, and Morse is at the theatre, where the young actress playing Ophelia dies on stage during a performance of Hamlet. A Suspicious Death inquiry begins.
When a suspect is murdered, Morse becomes convinced that the two deaths do, somehow, connect with what happened at an Oxford student production of Hamlet which he was a part of in 1962.

INSPECTOR MORSE – NEIL PEARSON.
