PBS Distribution is bringing
Inspector Lewis: Series 7 to Blu-ray. In it, Detective Inspector Lewis (Kevin Whately) and Detective Sergeant Hathaway (Laurence Fox) face three new mysteries inspired by Colin Dexter's Inspector Morse novels. Episodes include "Entry Wounds," "The Lions of Memea" and "Beyond Good and Evil."
Series 7 arrives on Blu-ray on November 25th.
Synopsis: As Lewis struggles to adjust to life in retirement, Hathaway has resolved his crisis of crime-fighting faith during an extended break from the force and earned his promotion to Inspector. But the presence of murder and mayhem in the seemingly perfect academic haven of Oxford remains unaltered, requiring the intuitive experience of Lewis and the cool intellect of Hathaway to tackle three riveting new cases, however altered circumstances of their partnership may be.
In "Entry Wounds," a tricky case bridges the worlds of neurosurgery, blood sports and animal rights. In "The Lions of Nemea," the investigation of an American classics student's brutal murder yields only secrets and murky motives. Finally, "Beyond Good and Evil" reopens Lewis' first successful case when the original murders are resumed with the original weapon.
Joining returning stars Clare Holman (forensic pathologist Dr. Laura Hobson) and Rebecca Front (Chief Superintendent Jean Innocent) is Angela Griffin as Hathaway's new practical and easygoing new partner, Detective Sergeant Lizzie Maddox.
Inspector Lewis: Series 7 is produced by Chris Burt, who has been at the helm since the series' beginning in 2006.
Inspector Lewis is presented in 1080p with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround. PBS has yet to detail special features.
