Dempsey from the pilot episode (John Light's character)


I rewatched the pilot recently and was completely taken by Dempsey. Looking back on the show now, I really wish he had become a recurring character (I actually remember being kind of surprised that he never came back). I think it would have added a lot more intrigue to have a sort of background governmental spook pulling strings and doing shady stuff. Also John Light is particularly beautiful and was totally badass as Dempsey, which is another reason why he should have stayed on :P

Did anyone else think when first watching the pilot episode that he would be a recurring character, or was it just me?

Ah yes, John Light. This very evening I went back to watch his bits from the pilot. His Dempsey was PERFECT. I long for more

He definitely plays that "don't mess with me" attitude very well. I wouldn't mind seeing him again. With the cold war in full swing you'd think there could be a story line or two that would have him cross paths with Morse and Thursday again.
