June 1965. The sudden death of a secretarial student named Margaret Bell and the shooting of a doctor appear unconnected, despite Morse's theories. Chief Superintendent Bright, the new commanding officer of the Oxford City Police, protests to Thursday that the bagman's position is a Detective Sergeant's job and the young constable is too inexperienced, unimpressed with Morse's zeal. Following the shooting of a vicar, Morse is reduced to general duties for dismissing a beautiful but mentally unstable girl as a suspect, and must continue his investigations alone despite warnings of possible dismissal from his superiors.

The first full series begins with Morse transferring to the Oxford City Police in 1965 following a double-murder investigation that took place during the pilot episode. Morse is taken under the wing of Inspector Thursday. Thursday names Morse his designated "bag man" and shows him the ropes as Morse begins to solve a string of complex multiple-murders, much to the envy and annoyance of some of his superiors, particularly Detective Sergeant Jakes and Chief Superintendent Bright. Morse displays his genius in solving intricate murders, including several with opera connections. Thursday and fellow-Constable Strange try to steer the young Morse into taking his sergeant's exam, so that he may be relieved of "general duties" and become Thursday's official "bag man". In the last episode of the series, Morse is shot while attempting to apprehend a murderer and is placed on light duties. At the same time, he comes to terms with the death, in December 1965, of his cold, unfeeling father. The life insurance scheme would not have been permitted under British law in 1970.
