I will say, that my favourite episode from the 7th series is The Day of the Devil, but Deadly Slumber is so good, that I hate to criticise it. Here, Morse is investigating the murder of a doctor, and suspicion falls on the father of a victim who suffered from brain damage after her operation went wrong. Deadly Slumber is beautifully constructed, and as usual John Thaw and Kevin Whately's acting talents are the driving force of the episode. The script is very intelligent, as is always the case with Morse, and while slow in pace, the story never runs out of steam or loses the audience's interest. The scene where Morse utters "Look Morse, look, look, look" with the 2nd movement of Mozart's 23rd Piano concerto was one of the episode's best scenes. The fine supporting performances include Brian Cox from Manhunter and Braveheart fame, Janet Suzman, Jason Durr and Penny Downie, and salvage one of the more intriguing episodes of the later series. 10/10 Bethany Cox.
