Inspector Morse

Chief Inspector investigates the apparently motiveless shooting of a woman through her kitchen window, a case that seems to lack an obvious motive. As he pursues the investigation, he becomes entangled in a bitter election contest at an Oxford college, complicating the inquiry.

Death Is Now My Neighbour is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls within the episode genre and is listed simply as a programme, without any additional classification. The story opens with the chief inspector being called to a seemingly senseless crime: a woman has been shot through the kitchen window of her home. The attack appears to have no obvious motive, prompting the inspector to launch a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting. As the case develops, the inspector finds himself drawn into a heated election battle taking place at an Oxford college. The contest is described as bitter, and his involvement ties the police work to the internal politics of the academic institution. Both the murder inquiry and the college election become intertwined, forcing the chief inspector to navigate the complexities of a violent, unexplained act while also contending with the fierce rivalry that marks the college’s electoral fight. The episode therefore balances a criminal investigation with the charged atmosphere of an academic power struggle.
