Endeavour II 

Shaun Evans (The Take, The Last Weekend) returns in the lead role as young Morse, 

with Roger Allam (The Thick of It, Parade’s End) as his senior Detective Inspector Fred 

Thursday, in the second series of Endeavour, the phenomenally successful ITV crime 

drama and prequel to Inspector Morse. 

Series regulars Anton Lesser, James Bradshaw, Jack Laskey, Sean Rigby, Caroline O’Neill 

and Abigail Thaw also return. Shvorne Marks joins the cast this series as Endeavour’s 

new neighbour Monica. 

The new series of Endeavour will comprise 4 x 120 minute films; Trove, Nocturne, 

Sway, and Neverland. All four are written by acclaimed screenwriter and Morse 

contributor, Russell Lewis. 

Colin Dexter, whose first Morse story was published in 1975, continues his association 

with the drama, acting as a consultant to Endeavour producers Mammoth Screen. 

Writer Russell Lewis said: "1966 brings Endeavour a fresh quartet of baffling mysteries 

set to test his brain and body to breaking point. Though offset by the possibility of love 

unlooked for, against a backdrop of growing change in Britain and the wider world, 

Endeavour must face a challenge that threatens to take from him all he holds dear... 

Family. Friends. Colleagues. The old order changeth... but not without a fight. To the 

death." 

Endeavour debuted in 2012 as a feature length story to celebrate the 25th anniversary 

of inspector Morse. This became the highest performing new drama title to air on ITV 

that year. 

The first full series of Endeavour screened earlier in 2013, with each of the four 

episodes averaging 7.0m and a 25% share, making it one of the best performing drama 

series on ITV that year alongside Broadchurch and Mr Selfridge. 

Russell Lewis serves as Executive Producer alongside Mammoth Screen’s Michele Buck 

and Damien Timmer, who have overseen Endeavour since its inception. Camille Gatin 

(Shadow Dancer) is producer. The directors of the four films are Kristoffer Nyholm (The 

Killing), Giuseppe Capotondi (The Double Hour), Andy Wilson (Ripper Street) and 

Geoffrey Sax (Murder on the Home Front).

Foreword 

by Writer & Executive Producer, Russell Lewis 

1966… And all that. 

The opening bars of the second movement of Ein deutches Requiem by Johannes 

Brahms – which plays across the visual overture of FILM 1: TROVE – set the tone for 

ENDEAVOUR SERIES II: 1966. Intimations of mortality and an aching melancholy. 

The choir sings words taken from scripture – specifically, 1 Peter 1:24 -‐-‐ 'Denn alles 

Fleisch, es ist wie Gras' – 'For all flesh, it is as grass'. A fitting memento mori for 

Endeavour Morse as he deals with the aftershocks of his own brush with death. Thus 

we find him, four months on from being shot, awaiting his appointment with the Force 

Medical Examiner who will decide if he is fit enough to return to work. 

Whether he is indeed fully restored to health – in mind as well as body – is the 

question which troubles friend and mentor Detective Inspector Fred Thursday, and 

informs the unfolding drama… 

1966… It was a very good year. The last hurrah of the old order. A sense of something 

ending. Pepper, The Piper, Hendrix and The Doors waiting in the darkened wings to 

sweep all asunder. Revolver had shown the way, but there was one act still to play out 

before the watershed of '67. 

There will be, naturally, a look at a certain sporting event which held the nation 

enthralled. All the nation, it should be said, save a young Detective Constable with the 

Oxford City Police whose attention is engaged upon the strange and chilling mystery of 

FILM 2: NOCTURNE. 

1966 was also the year of Dr.Jonathan Miller's masterly interpretation of 'Alice in 

Wonderland.' A favourite. Eerie. Unsettling. Haunting. 

FILM 3: 'SWAY'… Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, our Oxford autumn brings 

an English particular, fireworks – literal and figurative -‐ and a strangler on the prowl. 

The story was born of a bit of digging into Oxford City Police history. November the 

Fifth was a perennial problem for the force. Leave for all ranks was invariably 

cancelled, and squads of cops in mufti (wait till you see Jim Strange!) were sent into 

the night to do what they might to keep the peace. For as darkness fell, so 

lawlessness, violence and riotous disorder gripped the streets. And yet it's another 

instruction from the Firework Code which looms large… Albeit in a different context 

altogether. 

On some notional level at least, 'SWAY' invokes the mood of a certain INSPECTOR 

MORSE film generally held to be amongst the finest in the canon. I think afficionados 

will recognise a pleasing foreshadowing… The old adage has it that those who do not 

learn from history are doomed to repeat it. A lesson Endeavour Morse appears to 

have missed. 


5

The question most commonly asked of writers is 'Where do you get your ideas from' 

For me it's fragments – a picture; a piece of music; a line from a newspaper, or a beat 

from a book; a play; a film; a snatch of conversation overheard on a train. As often as 

not, it's a place. Usually somewhere I've come upon in my walking boots. Remote, 

typically. Hidden. Often derelict. But always it's somewhere with an atmosphere. 

Something that sets the Spider-‐senses tingling. 

These things can lie undisturbed amongst the leaf litter of the imagination for weeks, 

months, very often years. The fragment puts out tendrils; dark, creeping feelers, that 

quest blindly across the gloomy forest floor until they connect with another and make 

an unexpected connection. And that's what wakes you at three in the morning and 

won't let you get back to sleep. 

As a boy in South London in the 1960s, I had a much loved, and oft visited, aunt who 

lived in a Victorian tenement. She and the other wives there – for it was invariably 

women who did such work – daily swilled down their front step, and swabbed the 

communal staircases, with bleach and hot water. From just such a 'partial print' – the 

acrid, throat clotting scent of steaming bleach – the mind reconstructs the rest of the 

sights and sounds of the place at that period; girls skipping in the courtyard -‐ 'Salt, 

mustard, vinegar, pepper.'; the Tallyman on his weekly rounds, collecting hire 

purchase payments. Everything on the 'Never-‐Never'… 

The next thing you know, nearly fifty years have gone by and, yet, somehow, also 

stood still, for Endeavour and DS Jakes are climbing a faintly familiar staircase, albeit 

one transported to Oxford; looking, in this instance, for a missing boy – and Jakes is 

pouring scorn on a place altogether too close too home as 'Never-‐Never-‐Land'… from 

which FILM 4: 'NEVERLAND' takes its title. 

When it comes to preserving the sacred televisual legacy we inherited, 'nothing but 

the best will do for Endeavour Morse' is the phrase that springs to mind. It's giddying 

company. What you'll be seeing across the four films represents the greater part of a 

year's work by a huge number of people – a phenomenal cast and crew. I am indebted 

to all of them. 

Being allowed to fill in some of the blanks in Endeavour Morse's history has been a 

great privilege. That such an adventure would also give me the opportunity to 

introduce D.I. Fred Thursday and his family, Win, Joan & Sam; Ms. Dorothea Frazil; 

Ch.Supt. Reginald Bright; and D.S. Peter Jakes has been a treat beyond any scribbler's 

deserving. Add to this the chance to renew an audience's acquaintance with a young 

PC Jim Strange and Dr. Max deBryn. 

Endeavour Morse has enjoyed a long and intimate relationship with his audience, and 

we never lose sight of that for a moment. Throughout it all, our touchstone and True 

North is Colin Dexter's original vision. Kind, wise and generous to a fault, he makes 

himself available to us throughout production. If a story or line of dialogue passes 

Colin's quality control test, then we know we're okay. 


6

As FILM 1: TROVE begins with the Brahms requiem, so FILM 4: NEVERLAND opens 

appropriately with the sublimely moving Purcell 'Nunc dimittis' in G minor, and the 

Roseingrave 'Gloria'. 'As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. World 

without end. Amen.' 

I hope you enjoy the films.

Shaun Evans plays Endeavour Morse 

A dramatic series finale saw Endeavour Morse lose his father and get shot in the line of 

duty. After a stint on lighter duties at a different station, the young detective is 

deemed medically fit and returns to Oxford City Police to help solve serious crime and 

murder in the new second series. 

“In the first Endeavour film of this series my character comes back to the station after 

a few months in another division where he was assigned light duties”, explains Shaun 

Evans who reprises his role as Endeavour Morse in the drama. 

“At the end of last series his father died and he was shot. The events have rocked him, 

and his absence means relationships with his colleagues in the police force have 

changed. 

Shaun continues: “He comes back a far more damaged person. He’s a bit lost in his 

grief. He’s also still questioning himself, thinking am I any good Was the last solved 

crime a fluke 

“A lot of what we want to do with this series is to try and tease out the qualities that 

make him unique. It’s a continually shaping process.” 

As the series unfolds it becomes clear there are tensions at the station, which also 

cause Morse to question his future on the police force. 

“The Force itself is changing. The whole thing rests on uneven ground and Endeavour 

feels like it is shifting constantly. He begins to question, is this the right place for me” 

One reason to stay on the Force is Morse’s Detective Inspector Fred Thursday, played 

by Roger Allam. 


8

“A lot of this series is about relationships. One of the most important to Endeavour is 

with Thursday. 

“Thursday sees the brilliance in him. Whilst it can be counter-‐productive in some 

spheres of his life, with a bit of help his brilliance could make him a great detective and 

a great man as well. 

“Endeavour brings a different thought process into detective work. Thursday is 

nurturing that side of him and helping him become a more rounded person. 

“I think if you can solve four unusual crimes in a year like he does it certainly deserves 

some credit! If he didn’t work in that way then they probably would never have been 

solved. Thursday can see there is a place for him on the Force and has his back 

covered. This series becomes more about the upper echelons of the hierarchy of the 

Police Force recognising and learning that there is a place for him too.” 

DI Fred Thursday has established himself as a mentor and firm father figure for Morse. 

It’s a relationship that extends beyond the boundaries of the police station. 

Explains Shaun: “The relationship between Endeavour and Fred Thursday is more two-sided 

this time. 

“Fred and the whole Thursday family feel Endeavour is someone they should take 

under their wing. But Endeavour is someone they need in their life too.” 

Another important relationship begins when Morse moves into a new flat in Oxford. 

Living next door is Monica, a nurse who soon becomes the object of his affections… 

“Monica comes into Endeavour’s life when he’s on his knees. I think it’s very telling 

that the relationship comes along at this time. It’s ironic she’s a nurse; she 

automatically has that caring, nurturing nature he needs. He’s a broken man and she 

contributes to his mending. 

“I think it’s a very good thing. Apparently it was very common in those days for 

policemen to be with nurses. 

“We don’t know how their relationship is going to develop or end up. It’s very much up 

for grabs.” 

Shaun reveals he was very happy with the audience’s response to the pilot and first 

series of Endeavour. 

“I’m delighted it got such a great audience, particularly as so much work goes into it. In 

this job you want to get a good story, tell it well, and hope the audience enjoys it. We 

seem to have ticked those boxes. 

“I think it’s great to have the opportunity to build and improve on a character so I was 

glad to get back and have another crack.”

Endeavour was created by writer and executive producer Russell Lewis as the prequel 

to the acclaimed series Inspector Morse (1987-‐2000), starring John Thaw. 

“Building on the character of Morse has always been the intention. On one level I’m 

glad the audience is open to what we’ve done. But even more so that those people 

who haven’t seen the original series before can see this series for what it is. 

“The second series has allowed us to deepen the relationships and add more depth to 

all the characters – Endeavour, Thursday, Jakes. The series is not just about crime or 

whodunit, although that’s a massive part, it’s also about the people. Whether you 

grow to like them or hate them more, you get to know them better.” 

So, is Shaun any good at guessing whodunit 

“I am getting more used to working it out. But I’m actually more interested in how 

Endeavour makes the discovery -‐ how the crime is solved, rather than who committed 

the crime and why. Endeavour uses his intuition and for me, it’s about those 

discoveries on the way. I think it is incredibly intellectual and that’s what makes it 

interesting.” 

Why does Shaun think Endeavour is popular with audiences 

“Let’s face it, there are a lot of detective shows out there. I think it needs to be 

different and interesting – that’s what’s great about this particular character. Where 

else would you get a policeman who sings in a choir, who likes crosswords, went to 

Oxford, and is at the lower end of the police hierarchy He’s an interesting character 

and an interesting human being. I think that’s what makes Endeavour unique.” 

Being set in the 1960s also sets Endeavour apart from other crime drama. 

“I’m delighted people like the history of it”, says Shaun. “It was a period of great cars, 

great costumes, great styles and great ideas. Also, women are starting to get much 

more of a voice and it’s a significant period of change in music.” 

The Jaguar driven by Endeavour Morse has become an icon of the series and of that 

period in time. What’s it like 

“Fantastic. It smells of old leather. It’s a beautiful car, such a classic. If I had the 

opportunity I would take it home. It would probably break down, but it’s a beautiful 

motor and nice to drive.” 

Shaun’s credits include: War Book; The Last Weekend; Silk; Whitechapel; Wreckers; 

The Take; Cashback.

Roger Allam plays DI Fred Thursday 

As the prequel to Inspector Morse, Endeavour is set in the iconic 1960s, a bygone era 

famous for change in Britain. The new second series kicks off in the year 1966, in the 

lead up to the World Cup. 

Roger Allam recalls that memorable year when he was a young boy living in London, 

and why he thinks nostalgia in a period drama can appeal to audiences. 

“Working on a period drama such as Endeavour does bring back a lot of memories”, 

says Roger. In the series there is a scene when Thursday’s family is sitting around the 

television watching the football. I remember doing just that -‐ cheering and shouting 

with my family around me. 

“I think having something like the World Cup in the background, because it’s 1966, is a 

way to pinpoint a moment in the past. We don’t overly focus on it in the series, but it’s 

there as a marker. 

“One of the pleasures is being able to look back, but it also serves as a way in for 

younger people who didn’t witness that period. After the 2012 Olympics there is a 

recent good feeling about British sport. The World Cup of 1966 refers back to another 

period when there was a good feeling about English sport. 

Driving the classic black Jaguar used in Endeavour also reminds Roger of his childhood. 

“As a small boy I remember the first car my father ever bought – it was a second hand 

Austin of England and cost about £30. Obviously I was just a lad but it felt as if you 

were sitting in an armchair in your living room. It had a very different feel – that of the 

steering wheel, the smell of the interior. 


11

“I wouldn’t say the Jag was an easy drive, far from it. It feels like you have to catch a 

taxi to reach the gear stick sometimes”, laughs Roger. “But it’s old now so not easy 

compared to the cars we have nowadays. Of course, there were far fewer cars on the 

road then. 

“I lived in Putney in 1966 and I remember our street only had four cars parked. It 

certainly made it easy to play football in the road!” 

The first Endeavour film sees the return of the young detective to the station following 

a dramatic climax to series one. Roger reveals how his character, DI Fred Thursday is 

pleased to see his colleague back and willing to take on more serious crime in Oxford. 

“At the end of the first series Morse was wounded and his father died. The first story 

shows his period of recovery. Thursday is very keen to have him back but he’s also 

concerned as to how he’ll recover. 

“Thursday was a service commander in the war -‐ his experiences of that time and of 

being injured mean he understands the physical toll something like a gunshot wound 

can take on you. Morse is a robust character but there’s a rupture in the norm, and it 

takes a while for everything to fit back together and become comfortable.” 

Morse had a turbulent relationship with his own father before he died. Does Roger 

think DI Fred Thursday has become a surrogate father figure 

“I think if you lack a warm father figure in your life perhaps you do seek another. It’s 

not something either of them do consciously. It’s a nurturing relationship and they 

offer support for each other.” 

Morse is able to offer his support to Thursday when a person from his past stirs painful 

memories of the war. 

“In the third film you get to see more of Thursday’s past -‐ almost like a haunting. It’s a 

revelation to Morse. I think it can be enlightening and disturbing at the same time 

when you find out something big about someone’s past. But Morse helps Thursday to 

keep some sense of stability.” 

Since Endeavour began, audiences have grown to love DI Fred Thursday and his direct, 

if sometimes gruff approach to policing. 

“Thursday has a very strong moral sense of what’s right and what’s wrong. I don’t 

think he’s afraid to step outside of the rules if needs be, and this is partly because of 

his experiences at war,” says Roger. “He’s been in extreme situations where he’s 

needed to cut to the centre of the problem, and that might sometimes involve a bit of 

fisticuffs.” 

“He represents a strand of people who fought in the war, defending the British Empire, 

defending patriotism and building a decent future in Britain. He’ll bend the rules when 

the very core of his beliefs is threatened. 


12

“Thursday is a good detective. Being on the right side of the law is important to him 

and bound up in who he is. If he lost that part of himself he would struggle with life.” 

Endeavour wouldn’t be the same without DI Thursday, and luckily Roger was over the 

moon to return for another series. 

“It’s good to come back. Luckily I really like the characters! This is the first time I’ve 

ever been involved in anything quite like this. I did have an on-‐going character in The 

Thick of It but that’s very different. This is far more grounded in characterisation. 

“I am really pleased audiences seem to enjoy it. The fear was people who remember 

Inspector Morse might be critical of it, but it’s been accepted by them and presumably 

there will be some viewers watching who won’t have seen the original Morse at all.” 

What can Roger reveal about the four new and much anticipated films 

“It’s an interesting series with lots going on. Each film is a stand-‐alone story but 

running through it is a potential merger to create Thames Valley. There’s potential 

corruption and plenty of questions to be answered, including that of the futures for 

both Thursday and Morse. 

“I think it’s safe to say there’s a bit of a cliff hanger at the end of the second series 

which might look forward to a third series!” 

Roger Allam’s credits include: The Politician’s Husband; The Thick of It; Parade’s End; 

The Woman in Black; The Iron Lady; The Jury; Game of Thrones; Tamara Drewe. 


13

Endeavour II Synopses 

FILM ONE -‐ 'TROVE' 

May 1966. DC Endeavour Morse returns to Oxford City Police after a four-‐month 

absence from duty. Reunited with DI Fred Thursday, still reeling from the final 

moments of Series 1, the young detective's involuntary furlough has left him wounded 

-‐ in mind, more than body. 

Another dazzlingly complex mystery is set in motion during a Broad Street parade, 

celebrating the might of Britain's military accomplishments. The festivities, soured by a 

rash student stunt, are thrown into sharp relief when a John Doe plummets to his 

death from a nearby council building. A clutch of business cards bearing multiple 

identities suggest the death was more than just a routine suicide. Endeavour flexes his 

gumshoe muscles to uncover the corpse's identity -‐ a solitary pursuit that builds to 

a trip to London with troubling consequences. Whilst a concerned Thursday looks on, 

the fractured pieces of the kaleidoscope mirror the young detective's state of mind, as 

he pulls two seemingly unrelated cases into the fray -‐ an anguished father searching 

for a missing daughter, and a smash-‐and-‐grab robbery of medieval artifacts at Oxford's 

Beaufort College. 

All strands coalesce around the victim's final message, scrawled on a motel notepad: 

D-‐DAY, FRIDAY, 98018. As Oxonians go to the polls in a closely fought by-‐election and a 

beauty contest builds to its conclusion, Endeavour must navigate the choppy waters of 

both worlds, as his investigation shakes the highest pillars of Oxford society. With the 

body count rising and his fierce intellect slowly drawing back into focus, the young 

detective risks all to bring those responsible to justice. It is a decision that will send 

shockwaves across the course of the series. 


14

FILM TWO -‐ 'NOCTURNE' 

July 1966. World Cup fever grips the nation, as Argentina face off against England in 

the quarterfinals. In a sleepy corner of an Oxford museum, a septet of schoolgirls 

saunters through the worldly exhibits. But in a closed-‐off enclave, a blade slashes, 

blood sprays crimson and a man falls to his death... 

DC Endeavour Morse is one of the first on the scene in the killing of Adrian Weiss, an 

elderly gentleman with a specialism in heraldry and genealogy. His throat laid open, 

Weiss was slain by a katar -‐ a ceremonial dagger with links to nineteenth century 

British India. The weapon will prove key to unlocking Weiss' final hours. 

The mystery propels Endeavour to the Blythe Mount School for Girls; an establishment 

isolated in the summer months save for a skeleton staff and a handful of pupils. A 

funereal pall hanging over the school stokes the young detective's sense of dread. He 

returns home to find an instruction ('SAVE ME') slipped into his coat pocket. 

Endeavour digs into the building's troubled history, determining a connection between 

Weiss' untimely fate and a series of murders on the Blythe Mount grounds. Murders 

that transpired almost a hundred years ago to the day -‐-‐ and presently unsolved. 

Tensions teeter over a knife-‐edge when one of the seven girls disappears into the 

night, without trace or explanation. 

As the centenary of the murders loom and the malign presence within the school 

quickens its pace, with devastating consequences, Endeavour must retrace the 

hanging threads of Weiss' remaining research. Spectres from the past threaten to 

crash into the present and the bounds of the young detective's rational mind are 

tested. 


15

FILM THREE -‐ 'SWAY' 

November 1966. Oxford's dreaming spires darken as Bonfire Night beckons. A 

housewife, Mrs Vivienne Haldane, found choked to death in her own home marks the 

third strangling in a month, setting Oxford City Police on edge. Pulled tight around the 

victim's throat -‐-‐ a silk black stocking. Though the victims bear little relation to one 

another beyond the superficial, DC Endeavour Morse bridges the divide: the three 

victims are married women, all of whom have been found shorn of their wedding 

rings. 

As a city-‐wide manhunt for a multiple murderer brews, Endeavour unearths a private 

diary kept hidden by Mrs Haldane, detailing periodic infidelities with an anonymous 

'Mr X'. Her husband, a bloated mathematician, offers precious little information. But 

the specificity of the murderous stocking -‐-‐ a high-‐line brand, 'Le Minou Noir' -‐-‐ opens 

a new avenue of investigation. 

Endeavour traces the garment's provenance to Burridges, an innocuous department 

store, save for being the stocking's sole supplier across Oxford. As its denizens fall 

under suspicion, the investigation draws out painful memories for DI Fred Thursday, 

for whom a chance encounter with shopgirl Luisa Armstrong rouses reminiscences of 

wartime strife and unbidden promises. 

As the suspect list narrows, and the Oxford Strangler stalks his next victim with 

increasing desperation, other common strands begin to pull into focus. But Endeavour 

and Thursday, grappling with personal travails in their private lives, miss a deeper 

tragedy unfolding, not far beneath the surface. 


16

FILM FOUR -‐ 'NEVERLAND' 

December 1966. Change is in the air as winter's chill grips Oxford. Plans to build a new 

police station lead both DC Endeavour Morse and DI Fred Thursday to question their 

respective places on the force. A brace of cases occupy the young detective's time: a 

boy, Tommy Cork, reported missing from a broken home, and the body of a washed-‐up 

journalist, found on railroad tracks in mysterious circumstances. 

The cadaver is that of Eric Patterson -‐ a disreputable reporter last seen embroiled in an 

altercation with a high-‐ranking Council official. Their topic of conversation Landesman 

Construction, a company with hasty plans to redevelop the site of a long-‐since 

shuttered boys' correctional facility, Blenheim Vale. When a petty criminal absconds 

from an open prison, also with a connection to Blenheim, it sets off a chain reaction of 

troubling events, threatening to expose unspeakable horrors of the past. 

The investigation deepening, Endeavour and Thursday find themselves confronted by a 

cone of silence, and a disparate group of men unwilling to talk. Increasingly on the 

outs at a police force tainted with cronyism and corruption, the two men must band 

together, peeling back layers of malfeasance extending to the upper echelons of 

Oxford society. 

When it transpires Tommy Cork's disappearance is part and parcel of the same case -‐ 

the boy possibly witness to an event others would kill to conceal -‐ Endeavour and 

Thursday steel themselves for a reckoning in blood, as Series 2 builds to its 

thunderous, irrevocable conclusion.
