Endeavour

I was wondering if anyone remembers the episode where Thursday had something wrong with his throat? It looked like something serious, then I don't know how it ended!

How do I start a topic, can't see a link. Thanks

We will be getting an 8th Season of Endeavour. I love this series and have really enjoyed it.

Re the canary cage, Fred mentioned having kept canaries in the past, probably hung onto the cage.

I wonder if he will move to new post, as it was mentioned he would be serving under McNutt, that was someone who featured in a future episode of Morse. He was a mentor of Morse.

Why do the Thursdays have such a rusty, bashed up, canary cage? Could the props department not have found a better one?

Thought the last episode gripping, but agree that there was rather too much going on, and some was implausible and a bit OTT.
Felt a bit sorry for the Thursdays’ cat....frozen out in their affections by a couple of canaries.?
Morse is gradually becoming the old curmudgeon that he was always destined to be, intellectually superior to those around him and only too aware of it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this last episode.

I’m pleased to change my earlier statement. There will be a series 8 in 2021, hurray ?

Hope Morse gives Watlington the boot and returns to Oxford. FYI Watlington is a small village a few miles from Oxford with no police station.

I still don't understand how Sturgiss was suddenly caught either LadyGracy

Last night's episode was not very convincing- in those days the police did not carry firearms unless they were trained and I am sure Thursday and Endeavour never were. Also, they would not have been able to swan over to Venice whenever they fancied - travel was not so easy then and also it was expensive.

I enjoyed the whole series immensely. Last nights episode had me holding DH’s hand and looking away on occasion, I am a big scaredy-cat and always have been, afraid of the dark etc etc.

Can anyone tell me how Sturgiss carried out the murders when he had so alibis fo each, I’m at a loss, I obviously missed a vital scene!

I think they are trying too hard to find new twists and turns. It just doesn't work, so I was disappointed. However, I agree I think the actors are excellent.

I agree shandi6570. It seemed just plain daft at times. I was very disappointed. It was just badly written with different sections 'bolted' on. The whole sex/romance part was particularly unconvincing. 2/10 max!

I too was disappointed, seemed very far fetched and not at all true to the characters as they were in the previous series.

I used to love Endeavour - and I still love the characters. But the latest plot was completely far-fetched and ridiculous. If they can't create something vaguely reflecting reality perhaps it would be best to call it a day.

Disappointed.

I just admit we thought it was very OTT. Just think I am becoming an old cynic.

I throughly enjoyed tonight’s episode as well, well written and acted, the music wonderful!

Just watched it and loved every minute of it. Think there might be another series. Fingers crossed.

Just watched the final episode. Jumped about all over the place. Mrs. Bright looked so much better than when she was at death’s door on the sofa, only to perish at the hands of the dastardly Ludo, all that seemed a bit contrived. Lucky Fred was able to nip over to Venice to assist Morse at the drop of a hat. And just when did Morse find time to get all his decorating done, last week his house was a mess, this week looked all done up.
Hope there’s another series, but looked like the end really.

Morse was first on tv in January 1987. Love watching the repeats, hard to believe it’s over 30 years ago. Where has the time gone?

Hope so Nankate.

I hope I am wrong and that we do get a Season 8 ?

Hi everyone, just caught up with Sunday's Endeavour, it was excellent. I don't think this can be the last series yet. The first episode of this series was set in the New Year of 1970. Inspector Morse proper began in the 1990s, did it not? On another note, he is heading for disaster with Violetta and what the heck is Thursday up to wandering the tow-path at night? Especially as not a soul seems to know he's doing this. Loved seeing our own Grado the wrestler in Sunday's episode. He did not a bad job of the English accent I thought.

I didn’t know this was the last series, such a shame, one of my favourites.
