[TV] ITV and Endeavour.

[Leekbrookgull]

Watch during the week on 'record' and enjoy the series as a whole,however last Sunday,s edition (and remember how the DC George Fancy line has been played) in the 'shoot out' scene only DS Jago is clearly shown as armed yet on the two to one scene with Thursday and Morse,Jago is shot face on by DI Box who slumps to the ground with an apparent gunshot to the back ? An error on the production team or a new line in the next series ?

Eh? Box, Jago and Morse all had guns. Jago and Box shot each other.

Aww you could have dragged that out a bit

I like Endeavour, but wife doesn't for some reason.
Probably because there is no Sharon or Tracey from civvy street slagging each other off.
Got loads of episodes to catch up on as probably only watch once a month.

One off ITV,s better productions,yet i always have liked Foyle's War.

Box slumps down after being shot, the exit wound is bigger than the entrance wound so that is why it looks like he was shot in the back.

Aside from that it has been a superb series as so many of the main characters coped or failed to cope with the changes in their roles in the larger police force. Anton Lesser as Superintendent Bright was quite superb as he coped with his dwindling status and the pain of losing his adored wife. The scene at the Masonic club where he is approached by the dodgy assistant chief constable and the corrupt councillor was incredibly well acted as Bright summoned all his dignity and sense of duty to rebuff their bribery, threats and favours.

There will be another series next year and I'm looking forward to it already.

Honeysuckle Weeks

 

[Return of the Rev]

Quite liked it but each episode seemed to similar to the last. So gave up on it.

Happy to see its back, sad knowing we reach the end,

Brilliant

 

[Super Steve Earle]

I'll watch, but the first episode is directed by Shaun Evan's (plays Endeavour) and the episodes he directed in the last series were sub-standard IMHO.

Think it was pretty inevitable though. Getting to the point where Endeavour is catching Morse up, set about 10 years or so before Morse started(82?). Shaun Evans would need to rapidly age into John Thaw. As for the Strange character, well!

Agree it will be missed, Roger Allam is superb in it. Going to stick my neck out and predict the main character won't get killed off.

Looking forward to it. Joan had better be in it.

I've a sneaky feeling Fred Thursday will be. He didn't even get a mention in any of the Morse series. The only ones who did of course were Jim Strange who became Morse's boss, and dear old Max DeBruyn the pathologist, both superbly played in later life by different actors.

Just love Sara Vickers.

I'd like to think there is a happy ending for Fred Thursday. Several times across Endeavor he has come up against serious crime gangs and police corruption. Maybe he's a prime witness in a major police corruption trial and gets witness protection and a new life with Mrs Thursday far away. Morse says his goodbyes and walks away and never mentions him again to maintain the secrecy but carries Thursday's ethos, honour, sense of duty and fairness with him for life....blimey, I'm filling up here !


Going to miss Endeavor.
