Inspector Morse is a literary character who has appeared in television dramatizations. In multiple places in this article, he is described by referring to the television series, as if there were no difference between the two. I think it's reasonable to say that the people who have added such information have not read the books. To make any sense, the character should be described from the books, with any difference between books and television episodes noted. For instance, in the books, Morse smokes cigarettes - or is trying to quit. Television Morse does not.

File:ThawKavanaghQC.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a non-free use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Currently the first sentence of "Education" reads: "Although details of Morse's education are deliberately kept vague, it is hinted that he won a scholarship to study at St John's College, Oxford.[8]". However in the Endeavour (TV series) it is made clear that he attended the (fictional) Lonsdale College. Just wondering if the same is stated in any of the main Inspector Morse (novel or TV series) episodes... either way, maybe the sentence listed above may need to be amended...
