During the autumn of 2008 LMO have been busy recording 3 new films for the Lewis series for ITV, scheduled for broadcast early in 2009. Typically, an orchestra of 26 has been used, comprising 21 strings, flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and harp. The sessions have been at Abbey Road Studios. The final recording in the present series will take place in January 2009. All sessions have been conducted by the composer Barrington Pheloung and engineered by Paul Golding. The copyist is Matt Slater and contractor is Andy Brown, continuing a relationship with Barrington Pheloung that goes back to the very first Inspector Morse film in 1986.

An album of incidental cues from Inspector Lewis and classical excerpts was also released in 2008 on EMI Records Ltd. The album was recorded at Abbey Road, Angel and British Grove Studios and was recorded, engineered and mixed by Steve McLaughlin. Featuring Janis Kelly singing soprano and with sleeve notes by Barrington Pheloung, it picks out and explains the main themes from the first two years of Inspector Lewis films.
