About this programme
2/4. The Master of Gresham College, amateur astronomer Andrew Crompton, is found dead at the Oxford University Observatory, and Lewis finds there are numerous suspects, from senior academics to college scouts. Laura Hobson's involvement with a local orchestra helps her give the detective inside information on the complex relationships within the close-knit community, and Hathaway's sharp mind cracks an astronomical conundrum as the team slowly unravels the riddle of the victim's death. Guest starring Sophie Ward (Heartbeat), Diana Quick (Brideshead Revisited) and Robert Hardy (Cornelius Fudge in the Harry Potter films).
