The new series of ITV’s popular crime detective series Lewis starts on 16 May with an episode that was partly shot at Exeter College.

‘The Soul Of Genius’ is the story of a botanist who accidentally unearths the body of a professor who had been fixated upon solving a seemingly impossible riddle. Inspector Lewis (Kevin Whately) and Sergeant Hathaway (Laurence Fox) investigate.

Filming took place at Exeter College between 18 and 20 August 2011 and was helped by glorious sunshine. Should you wish to catch Exeter looking its finest the episode will be aired at 8pm on ITV1.
