First Watch: Endeavor

So I am watching the absolutely entertaining one-off prequel, Endeavour with Shawn Evans taking up John Thaw's role of Endeavour Morse. I'm trying to not ruin this for the majority of the people that you haven't seen it, but I don't know how the hell I am supposed to pull this off.


Shawn Evans does an absolute bang-up job and there are several scenes in this show that are iconic, primarily the resolution of the case or the a-ha moment and arrest scene, and the very last scene of the show. I'll not tell you what happens in these scenes and will leave it to yourself to go and watch the damn show.

As you know already I am a HUGE Morse fan and watching this re-kindled gobs of feelings that I have for Morse, far more so than the pilot of Lewis had.

I am dying for this to come back as regular series. In fact, CrimeTimePreview has already asked ITV1 about the possibility of just this in a post on their site today:

I've asked the channel what's happening and they say 'discussions on an editorial and practical level' have to be thrashed out before a decision is announced. But if Scott & Bailey can be recommissioned, surely the Morse prequel is a shoo-in.

And he is right, if they did Scott & Bailey then this should be a no brainer. So everyone call and email ITV1 so we can get us some fucking Endeavour PLEASE!
