Thanks to video recording I was also able to watch, last night, ITV’s drama Endeavour, which resurrected Colin Dexter’s DCI Morse as a detective constable at the outset of his career. Having just done a Skinner prequel, and with more in the works, I’m not going to knock the concept, and I enjoyed the finished product into the bargain. At the moment it’s a one-off, but with Kevin Whately getting too crusty to play Lewis  in that series for much longer than next year, I expect that the long term future of the Morse franchise will lie in  the hands of Shaun Evans and Roger Allam, who was excellent as Morse’s mentor DI Fred Thursday.
