Lewis star Kevin Whately has said he thinks he will probably make just one more series of the Oxford-set Inspector Morse spin-off.

In an interview with Radio Times, Whately said: "I would probably do one more. But everything has a life span and I think it's gone on long enough. There were 33 Inspector Morse stories and we've now done 30 Lewis."

He added: "I suppose it's a sentimental thing but I wouldn't want to do more Lewis than we did Morse because I do still think of it as an offshoot.

"There's the age thing as well - I'm older than John Thaw (Morse) was when he died... It's a long time to play one character, but sometimes it only feels like yesterday that we started."
