I love these little Easter eggs - but loved the large one when Morse pays a visit to the actual Crossroads Motel. The sign outside was spot on as I recall.
Well, hope you caught the one where the posh blonde girl has the surname Creighton-Ward: the writers obviously have a great affection for Gerry Anderson’s work, as seen in ‘Apollo’ in S6.
I’d forgotten that! Of course, the whole thing is doubly delightful to me because Russel Lewis seems to have watched and loved precisely the same films and TV shows as me
I have never noticed any of these references. I am clearly not well-versed enough in obscure pop culture. I do rather like the added “Where’s Wally” element it brings to the programme though.

I suspect that might have been an episode Rowan watched without me, dammit

It does fit with the tradition of the show too, with Barrington Phelong hiding clues in the Morse code of the theme tune (as I recall)
Barrington Phelong must surely be an anagram?
