After nearly 30 years of appearing on our living rooms, Inspector Lewis is set to hang up his handcuffs for the final time next Tuesday, with ITV confirming that the long-running police drama will be coming to an end. This means that the two-parter starting tonight, 'What Lies Tangled' and finishing next week, will be the very last case for Lewis and his sidekick Hathaway to solve, after a partnership lasting nine series and nearly a decade. Kevin Whately has played the popular policeman for nearly 30 years in total, first appearing in 1987, when he was himself in a supporting role to the much-missed 'Inspector Morse', played by the late John Thaw.
