Inspector Morse Series (1987 - 2000) 33 x 100 min EpisodesProbably the most popular
TV drama series of all time on British TV. Detective Chief Inspector Endeavour Morse
played by the actor John Thaw is the fictional character in the series of detective novels by
British author Colin Dexter. Morse is an opera and traditional beer loving irascible
intellectual with a trademark old classic Mk2 Jaguar car. The films are very well made with
beautiful soundtracks all atmospherically based around Oxfordshire and with many scenes
centred on Oxford University depicting the wonderful buildings and the peculiar lifestyles of
the higher levels of academia. Two further series span off Morse, "Lewis" depicting Morse's
old sergeant and Endeavour', the younger Morse in the 1950's.

Endeavour : "Fugue". Wonderful murder mystery. Shaun Evans is sympathetic in this role
as the young 'more innocent' Morse, and his developing professional relationship with his
senior officer, an ex WW2 British Army sergeant 'Fred Thursday' is very well observed and
compelling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1HWnt-k4dk&t=678s
