Inspector Morse is 20 – and a special ITV3 weekend next month celebrating his anniversary reaches a climax with Morse Live At The Albert Hall, a spectacular evening of music, hosted by Michael Parkinson and headlining opera stars Lesley Garrett, Sir Willard White and Alfie Boe.

The Albert Hall concert – staged with Classic FM – will include performances of music specially selected from the series, as well as pieces that illustrate the much-loved facets of the eponymous Oxford detective. Featured composers will include Wagner, Mozart, Puccini, Handel and Haydn.  It will be held on 19 April, and transmitted on ITV3 during the Morse weekend on 28 and 29 April.
