Detective Chief Superintendent Jim Strange OBE is a fictional character in the television series Inspector Morse, played by James Grout. The character also appears, as a Police Constable and Detective Sergeant, in the prequel series Endeavour, portrayed by Sean Rigby.[1] Although Strange does not appear in every episode of Inspector Morse, he is present in the whole series (of 33 2-hour TV films) from beginning to end. He is absent from only a few of the intervening episodes. Strange's first name is never revealed in the Inspector Morse series.
In the episode “Twilight of the Gods”, Strange is seen wearing a miniature form of the OBE medal on his suit, indicating he is the holder of the national honour.
