Weirdest Master-Apprentice Chain Ever

[john_amend_all]

So I watched tonight's Endeavour. I wasn't mishearing, was I, when DI Thursday described his own mentor as Sergeant Vimes of Cable Street?

Of course, Ankh-Morpork started out as a Lankhmar parody, and Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser have had adventures on Earth. As did Rincewind in TCoM, so... let a thousand crossovers bloom.

Aha! Was there any room for plot in between the pop culture refs?

[john_amend_all]

Not a lot, no. I didn't even mention the Chief Superintendent reminiscing about his time in India near Pankot when they had trouble with the Thuggees (which, apparently, makes Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Morseverse canon).

I would like to think of 'The Stranglers of Bombay' in the Morseverse instead;)

(My first thought at the mention of thuggees!)
