Lewis 20 Day Fandom Challenge (Day 7): First Character You Loved: Robbie Lewis
This may be a bit of a cheat, since I’d loved Robbie long before I started the show—ever since the first time I watched him in the Inspector Morse episode ” The Dead of Jericho.” He was the primary reason I continued watching Morse, even when the cases got more and more intricate and confusing. I decided to give the spin-off series a try because of him, and was delighted to find that though Robbie Lewis had gotten older and sadder, he was still the same simple, dependable, compassionate, sweet,morally upright, loveable character he’d always been.

Lewis: Intelligent Design—review.
Of course it wasn’t a waste. It was a pleasure.

This picture is so sassy of all three of them. First, we have James posing as though he knows he’s being filmed. Then, we have Jean’s total swagger of a walk. And finally we have Robbie’s slight shoulder shrug with the ” I-ain’t-even-mad” face.
Why do you have to be better? What happened here, you’re not to blame for any of it, not then, not now. And as for handing in your papers…between us, we make a not bad detective. I’m the brains, obviously.

I see all the Dr. Who and Sherlock LOVE on my dash daily - but why so little for Laurence Fox? (heck, he’s even married to “Who” companion Billie Piper) - “Inspector Lewis” might not have ‘time-y wime-y’ sci-fi cleverness or sociopathic whimsy - but what it does have is Detective Sergeant James Hathaway —- faith conflicted, Cambridge-Educated and Dry as the Gobi Desert —- I think he’s pretty keen.
