Oxford et les s\u00e9ries polici\u00e8res
En 2018, les t\u00e9l\u00e9spectateurs britanniques ont d\u00e9sign\u00e9 la s\u00e9rie Inspector Morse (1978-2000) la meilleure
s\u00e9rie polici\u00e8re de tous les temps. Cette premi\u00e8re s\u00e9rie a donn\u00e9 lieu \u00e0 une suite : Lewis (2006-2015) dont
le personnage central est l\u2019ancien assistant de Morse. Enfin, une troisi\u00e8me s\u00e9rie Endeavour (depuis 2012)
constitue un retour en arri\u00e8re et montre les d\u00e9buts de carri\u00e8re du policier Morse dans les ann\u00e9es 60. Chaque
s\u00e9rie met en valeur le patrimoine remarquable d\u2019Oxford (ville et universit\u00e9), qui se trouve au centre des
intrigues. Dans quelle mesure ce ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne peut-il expliquer le succ\u00e8s de ces s\u00e9ries ?
Oxford and Crime Drama
In 2018 Inspector Morse was voted the best ever crime drama by Radio Times readers. Inspector Morse
ran on ITV from 1978 to 2000 and was followed by Lewis, featuring Morse\u2019s sidekick from 2006-2015.
Finally, a third series, Endeavour (a prequel of sorts), was launched in 2012 (and is still running). It
focuses on the early days of Morse in the police force in the 1960s. All three series have Oxford as their
backdrop and make good use of the city\u2019s many famous sights. Town and gown feature in all the plots.
This talk aims to discuss the success of the three series in relation to its Oxford location.
