Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the opening scenes, we see a choir singing, in which we recognize one Mr. Morse. (He rarely mentions his first name, though we will learn it later.) We switch to the sight of a woman, who ignores the ringing of a phone. Next, a man gets flowers, only to throw them in the trash. Last, a student is warned to pay attention. Who is she?
2. We meet the Chief Superintendent of the station, Mr. Bright. He greets the assembled officers - including Morse, who runs in late. Bright promises that he will be watchful, but will operate with a 'tabula rasa,' or clean slate. When Bright is done speaking, he turns away. Who heckles Morse?
3. Morse is sent to a home where a body has been found. He meets someone on the stairs. Right away, they start to argue - after all, the other man never asked Morse who he was. Morse shows his ID. The other man says, "Oh. That's Strange." What does this mean?
4. The murder victim, Margaret Bell, is lying face up on the bed. Morse finds some dirty clothes from Beaufort College. What was unique about Beaufort College?

7. DCI Thursday says to CS Bright that there is "not one person in the family with a solid alibi." (He is referring to the family of the suspect.) Bright says the victim's wallet was taken, which was true. What does Thursday say proves this is not a robbery?
8. The arrest of Morse's break-in suspect is met with marked disapproval by his superior officers. How do we know?
