Morrissey returned to a weekly television role at the end of 2010 playing police detective Tom Thorne in Thorne, a six-part television series for Sky1 that was adapted from Mark Billingham's novels Sleepyhead and Scaredy Cat. [78] After reading Lifeless during his time filming The Water Horse in New Zealand, Morrissey searched the Internet for more information. He found an interview in which Billingham stated his preference for Morrissey to play Thorne should a screen adaptation ever be made. When he returned to the UK, Morrissey arranged a meeting with Billingham and the two began developing the TV series. [79] [80] Morrissey shadowed officers in the Metropolitan Police's murder unit during their duties to learn about their jobs. He discovered that the officers felt undervalued in their jobs, and he incorporated these feelings into the series. [80] Sky first broadcast the series on 10 October. Morrissey received approval for the role; Andrea Mullaney wrote in The Scotsman, "Morrissey is never less than watchable and he brings a brooding presence to the role of Thorne." [81] and Adam Sweeting for The Arts Desk called him "authentic as the phlegmatic, low-key Thorne." [82]

Morrissey expands: “There’s a lot of television, you don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s much like life, you’re just dealing with what’s happening on the day. Whereas in film, you know where you’re heading. You know how much time you have to tell a story. You can argue for the consistency of your character.”

McLeod, Pauline (12 August 2000). "Edge of Madness". The Times (Times Newspapers): p.4 ( Metro section). People like to think it's a democratic process, but it's not; it's a dictatorship. As an actor I like working with strong directors, and as an actor you're a 'freak' with the control taken away. Directing gives you a real appreciation of the difficulties of other people's jobs."
