1991 saw a revival on glossy 35mm, as per the late 80s trend for lengthy, intelligent drama in the Morse mould. Foster returned for the seven two-hour movies, but the older Commissaris was given less of the action, in favour of his son Wim (Richard Huw) and younger officers, to appease as wide an ITV audience as possible.
