1
00:00:09,393 --> 00:00:12,359
From the 1960s to the 21st century,
2
00:00:12,359 --> 00:00:15,866
the detective world of Morse
created by writer Colin Dexter
3
00:00:15,866 --> 00:00:19,373
has been exploring
the fictional crimes of Oxford.
4
00:00:19,674 --> 00:00:22,379
It's got such a loyal fan base,
5
00:00:22,379 --> 00:00:24,544
Morse, Lewis and Endeavour.
6
00:00:24,544 --> 00:00:27,790
People who've followed the shows
right from the start.
7
00:00:27,790 --> 00:00:31,698
You never consider that
it'll be going in ten years' time or
8
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:33,221
35 years' time.
9
00:00:36,007 --> 00:00:38,592
The Oxford of Morse and of Endeavour
10
00:00:38,592 --> 00:00:40,917
is definitely a dangerous place...
11
00:00:40,917 --> 00:00:41,999
Hello.
12
00:00:41,999 --> 00:00:43,683
GUNSHOT
13
00:00:43,683 --> 00:00:45,767
..one filled with big characters.
14
00:00:45,767 --> 00:00:48,573
But the biggest character
at the helm of it
15
00:00:48,573 --> 00:00:50,456
has been Inspector Morse,
16
00:00:50,456 --> 00:00:52,661
the detective
actor John Thaw first brought
17
00:00:52,661 --> 00:00:55,627
to our screens back in 1987.
18
00:00:55,627 --> 00:00:57,912
Famous for his love of crosswords,
19
00:00:57,912 --> 00:00:59,314
classical music,
20
00:00:59,314 --> 00:01:01,479
and his iconic red Jaguar.
21
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,445
The famous maroon-coloured Jag
22
00:01:04,445 --> 00:01:06,209
was an old stunt car
23
00:01:06,209 --> 00:01:08,132
which John himself had written off
24
00:01:08,132 --> 00:01:10,738
in The Sweeney
in a stunt more than once.
25
00:01:10,738 --> 00:01:12,501
You could see the road
through the floor.
26
00:01:12,501 --> 00:01:14,425
It was hell on wheels.
27
00:01:14,425 --> 00:01:16,790
But over the past two decades,
28
00:01:16,790 --> 00:01:20,317
since the original Morse
famously left our screens...
29
00:01:20,317 --> 00:01:23,283
Thank Lewis...
30
00:01:24,606 --> 00:01:25,889
..for me.
31
00:01:26,971 --> 00:01:29,416
..the Morse universe has expanded.
32
00:01:29,416 --> 00:01:32,502
First with his sidekick Lewis
picking up the murderous threads
33
00:01:32,502 --> 00:01:33,985
in 2006.
34
00:01:33,985 --> 00:01:36,069
Who am I looking for?
35
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:38,234
Definitely somebody
with blood on their clothes
36
00:01:38,234 --> 00:01:39,396
or their person.
37
00:01:39,396 --> 00:01:41,079
Thanks, Doc.
38
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:42,723
And for the past decade,
39
00:01:42,723 --> 00:01:45,929
the series Endeavour
has told Morse's back story
40
00:01:45,929 --> 00:01:48,535
as a brilliant young copper
in '60s Britain.
41
00:01:48,535 --> 00:01:51,340
Who's a clever boy, then?
42
00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:53,625
But after nine series,
43
00:01:53,625 --> 00:01:56,912
the last-ever episode of Endeavour
has been shot
44
00:01:56,912 --> 00:02:00,599
and the epic story of one
of TV's most popular detectives
45
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:02,723
is finally coming to an end.
46
00:02:03,846 --> 00:02:06,732
Being the last-ever
Endeavour director is scary.
47
00:02:06,732 --> 00:02:09,056
I hope I get it right.
48
00:02:09,056 --> 00:02:11,060
The final episode...
49
00:02:12,102 --> 00:02:14,147
..it brings it all together
50
00:02:14,147 --> 00:02:17,353
and I hope there'll be
a few surprises for people.
51
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,686
It all comes to a crescendo,
you know, at the end.
52
00:02:23,686 --> 00:02:25,490
It's hard to describe.
53
00:02:25,490 --> 00:02:27,133
It's rather lovely though.
54
00:02:27,133 --> 00:02:30,019
It has actually been
one of the privileges of my life
55
00:02:30,019 --> 00:02:31,863
to work with this group of people.
56
00:02:35,149 --> 00:02:37,995
I feel a lot of gratitude
to have been
57
00:02:37,995 --> 00:02:41,242
part of something
that so many people have enjoyed.
58
00:02:41,242 --> 00:02:43,727
This is for everyone,
and all the fans who are involved,
59
00:02:43,727 --> 00:02:45,370
with Morse, Lewis and Endeavour,
60
00:02:45,370 --> 00:02:47,494
and this is the end,
so let's have fun.
61
00:02:53,106 --> 00:02:55,831
MORSE CODE BEEPING
62
00:03:04,850 --> 00:03:07,255
The character of Inspector Morse
63
00:03:07,255 --> 00:03:10,100
first featured in the award-winning
crime novels
64
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:13,387
written by Colin Dexter
back in 1975.
65
00:03:13,387 --> 00:03:15,592
KEVIN:
Colin was very much an academic
66
00:03:15,592 --> 00:03:19,479
and I think, when Kenny McBain
found the Morse books,
67
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:21,203
and tracked Colin down,
68
00:03:21,203 --> 00:03:22,846
Colin was a bit taken aback.
69
00:03:22,846 --> 00:03:25,652
I can remember when he didn't really
quite understand
70
00:03:25,652 --> 00:03:27,937
how films worked, to start with.
71
00:03:27,937 --> 00:03:31,825
But it was in 1987, when actor
John Thaw took on the TV role,
72
00:03:31,825 --> 00:03:36,234
that the wider world got to know and
love the cranky academic detective.
73
00:03:36,234 --> 00:03:39,039
Somebody of my age,
all of us remember
74
00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:41,604
the Morse theme during the '90s.
75
00:03:41,604 --> 00:03:44,049
And remember the Morse series
76
00:03:44,049 --> 00:03:46,254
and how loved that was
and John thaw's legacy in that.
77
00:03:46,254 --> 00:03:48,539
I need to be off duty
on the dot tonight.
78
00:03:48,539 --> 00:03:51,144
Val's dead set
on going to this slimming promotion.
79
00:03:51,144 --> 00:03:54,150
It's a special...
I don't need to hear the details.
80
00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:55,713
I don't often ask, sir.
81
00:03:55,713 --> 00:04:00,042
Square up to the case, Lewis,
maybe we can both be off on the dot.
82
00:04:01,084 --> 00:04:03,689
CHARLOTTE: How incredibly important
that series is
83
00:04:03,689 --> 00:04:06,776
to British television culture
and history.
84
00:04:06,776 --> 00:04:09,301
But I think also to the genre.
85
00:04:09,301 --> 00:04:12,708
With regular audiences
of 15 million viewers,
86
00:04:12,708 --> 00:04:15,994
Morse was a huge hit
both at home and abroad...
87
00:04:15,994 --> 00:04:18,119
SPEAKING SPANISH
88
00:04:25,213 --> 00:04:27,778
..and ran for the next 13 years.
89
00:04:27,778 --> 00:04:30,263
KEVIN: I'm hugely proud of them.
90
00:04:30,263 --> 00:04:33,269
I still get work now from the kudos
91
00:04:33,269 --> 00:04:35,674
that I get
from the Morse franchises.
92
00:04:35,674 --> 00:04:38,560
In January 2012,
93
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,809
12 years after the original
Inspector Morse left our screens,
94
00:04:42,809 --> 00:04:45,254
the clocks were set back to 1965.
95
00:04:45,254 --> 00:04:47,458
And actor Shaun Evans
96
00:04:47,458 --> 00:04:49,222
got to explore the back story
97
00:04:49,222 --> 00:04:52,228
of television's
most enigmatic detective.
98
00:04:52,228 --> 00:04:54,593
At that point I'd never seen
any of the previous TV show,
99
00:04:54,593 --> 00:04:56,517
so I came at it fresh,
100
00:04:56,517 --> 00:04:58,280
and then I was intrigued then
about...
101
00:04:59,603 --> 00:05:04,333
..how we could see this character
as a younger man.
102
00:05:04,333 --> 00:05:06,778
For me, it's a coming-of-age story.
103
00:05:06,778 --> 00:05:10,585
Of how we take this period of time
104
00:05:10,585 --> 00:05:14,193
and take this man from
105
00:05:14,193 --> 00:05:15,996
his late twenties,
106
00:05:15,996 --> 00:05:18,121
right through to his mid thirties.
107
00:05:20,205 --> 00:05:22,049
My name is Bright,
108
00:05:22,049 --> 00:05:24,053
Chief superintendent Bright.
109
00:05:24,053 --> 00:05:26,377
It's centred on a police station
110
00:05:26,377 --> 00:05:28,341
somewhere in Oxfordshire,
111
00:05:28,341 --> 00:05:30,907
and you have the young Morse,
112
00:05:30,907 --> 00:05:35,115
who is a troubled character.
113
00:05:35,115 --> 00:05:36,999
Secondly...
114
00:05:39,644 --> 00:05:42,089
The brilliant detective.
115
00:05:42,089 --> 00:05:43,572
Thinks out of the box.
116
00:05:43,572 --> 00:05:47,260
And he always comes at everything
from a strange angle.
117
00:05:47,260 --> 00:05:50,346
Evelyn Balfour was strangled, sir,
like Desdemona, Othello's wife.
118
00:05:50,346 --> 00:05:52,350
And there was a handkerchief
stuffed in her mouth
119
00:05:52,350 --> 00:05:53,953
embroidered with the initial "D".
120
00:05:53,953 --> 00:05:59,364
The detective element is important,
yes,
121
00:05:59,364 --> 00:06:03,653
but it's a sort of Trojan horse
to get into
122
00:06:03,653 --> 00:06:05,417
who this person was.
123
00:06:05,417 --> 00:06:07,461
Squeamish, are we?
124
00:06:07,461 --> 00:06:09,665
You won't make much of a detective
125
00:06:09,665 --> 00:06:12,551
if you're not prepared
to look death in the eye.
126
00:06:12,551 --> 00:06:14,716
Find me when you're done.
127
00:06:14,716 --> 00:06:18,323
It's got an unlikely character
128
00:06:18,323 --> 00:06:20,528
at the helm of it, you know, this...
129
00:06:20,528 --> 00:06:24,055
He is not your hero,
he's not your average detective.
130
00:06:37,081 --> 00:06:39,967
He is an appreciator
of classical music,
131
00:06:39,967 --> 00:06:41,691
of art, of architecture,
132
00:06:41,691 --> 00:06:45,138
of man's achievements
at its highest, I suppose.
133
00:06:45,138 --> 00:06:48,544
134
00:06:48,544 --> 00:06:54,196
135
00:06:54,196 --> 00:06:57,563
It can't be separated
from this story.
136
00:06:57,563 --> 00:07:00,809
And so then it's important
to show them as much as you can.
137
00:07:02,012 --> 00:07:04,497
And this new world of crime expanded
138
00:07:04,497 --> 00:07:09,267
beyond Morse to include a much wider
cast of regular characters.
139
00:07:09,267 --> 00:07:11,431
25 years ago,
140
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:13,756
I got the best bit of luck
141
00:07:13,756 --> 00:07:16,000
any man ever had.
142
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,004
The toast is...
143
00:07:18,004 --> 00:07:20,008
my Win.
144
00:07:20,008 --> 00:07:23,816
Win.
145
00:07:23,816 --> 00:07:26,502
'It's a beautifully written
period drama.'
146
00:07:26,502 --> 00:07:28,546
There's the through line
of the main characters,
147
00:07:28,546 --> 00:07:32,835
whose lives you see
emerging and changing.
148
00:07:32,835 --> 00:07:34,358
APPLAUSE
149
00:07:35,961 --> 00:07:38,165
'That's why people love it.'
150
00:07:38,165 --> 00:07:41,011
It is more
than just a detective drama.
151
00:07:41,011 --> 00:07:42,975
I think that's selling it short.
152
00:07:44,057 --> 00:07:46,342
Where have you been all night?
153
00:07:46,342 --> 00:07:48,787
Don't ask.
So...
154
00:07:48,787 --> 00:07:50,390
are you dancing?
155
00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:52,394
Are you asking?
156
00:07:52,394 --> 00:07:55,521
It's got wonderfully nuanced
characters
157
00:07:55,521 --> 00:07:57,685
that you want to meet
time and time again.
158
00:07:57,685 --> 00:07:59,849

CHEERING
160
00:08:01,653 --> 00:08:03,858
I suppose what's lovely
about the series of Endeavour
161
00:08:03,858 --> 00:08:06,102
is that there's just that plotting.
162
00:08:06,102 --> 00:08:08,908
We've got all nine series
163
00:08:08,908 --> 00:08:11,914
to see how he becomes
the Inspector Morse
164
00:08:11,914 --> 00:08:14,118
that we know he's destined to be.
165
00:08:14,118 --> 00:08:16,403
But the back story to Morse
166
00:08:16,403 --> 00:08:19,329
wasn't actually the work
of original author Colin Dexter.
167
00:08:19,329 --> 00:08:23,177
Endeavour was the creation
of writer Russell Lewis.
168
00:08:23,177 --> 00:08:26,544
Television writers
don't normally write
169
00:08:26,544 --> 00:08:28,989
every single episode of a series.
170
00:08:28,989 --> 00:08:30,913
Particularly not when there's 36,
171
00:08:30,913 --> 00:08:33,678
and particularly not
when there's 36 of 90 minutes.
172
00:08:33,678 --> 00:08:36,123
It's very, very unusual.
173
00:08:36,123 --> 00:08:38,288
Russell has such a way of writing,
174
00:08:38,288 --> 00:08:40,131
not only his dialogue,
175
00:08:40,131 --> 00:08:41,735
but his stage directions.
176
00:08:41,735 --> 00:08:43,899
I really wish
people could see his scripts,
177
00:08:43,899 --> 00:08:45,582
because they are so detailed.
178
00:08:46,905 --> 00:08:48,709
Up a bit.
179
00:08:48,709 --> 00:08:51,234
Up a bit more.

00:08:51,234 --> 00:08:52,717
Left a bit.
181
00:08:52,717 --> 00:08:54,440
Ah...
182
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,088
Knowing the show as he did, he wrote
for Morse, he wrote for Lewis,
183
00:08:58,088 --> 00:09:00,292
there is very rarely
a character name,
184
00:09:00,292 --> 00:09:02,497
an address,
185
00:09:02,497 --> 00:09:04,862
a name of a department store,
you name it,
186
00:09:04,862 --> 00:09:07,066
there will be a connection
187
00:09:07,066 --> 00:09:09,511
to something within
the Morse universe.
188
00:09:09,511 --> 00:09:11,876
And Russell Lewis
was inspired to create
189
00:09:11,876 --> 00:09:13,920
one very special character
190
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,287
for an actor with a personal
connection to John Thaw.
191
00:09:17,287 --> 00:09:19,291
So, what's the story?
192
00:09:19,291 --> 00:09:21,776
Well, there isn't one... yet.
193
00:09:21,776 --> 00:09:23,419
I play Dorothea Frazil,
194
00:09:23,419 --> 00:09:26,706
who is the editor
of the Oxford Mail newspaper.
195
00:09:26,706 --> 00:09:29,672
If that's for the morning edition,
you're cutting it fine.
196
00:09:29,672 --> 00:09:32,999
My agent called me
and said that they were looking for
197
00:09:32,999 --> 00:09:36,005
a young John Thaw basically
198
00:09:36,005 --> 00:09:37,889
to play the young Endeavour.
199
00:09:37,889 --> 00:09:39,893
And did I know anyone
200
00:09:39,893 --> 00:09:43,901
who reminded me of my father?
201
00:09:43,901 --> 00:09:46,105
I couldn't imagine it.
202
00:09:46,105 --> 00:09:48,150
I said, well, I want a part in it.
203
00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:51,076
Just be a nice little quirky thing.
204
00:09:51,076 --> 00:09:55,364
And Russ and I talked
and he wrote a little scene for me.
205
00:09:55,364 --> 00:09:57,769
Have we met?
206
00:09:59,252 --> 00:10:01,737
I... I don't think so.
207
00:10:01,737 --> 00:10:04,383
Another life, then?
208
00:10:04,383 --> 00:10:08,832
I wasn't expecting anything
as lovely and as moving as that.
209
00:10:08,832 --> 00:10:11,317
I thought I was just
gonna be plonked on a desk.
210
00:10:11,317 --> 00:10:15,084
But, no,
Russ had a much better idea.
211
00:10:15,084 --> 00:10:16,968
And the rest is history.
212
00:10:16,968 --> 00:10:19,173
And Dorothea
213
00:10:19,173 --> 00:10:21,537
has remained a key character
across all nine seasons
214
00:10:21,537 --> 00:10:23,862
of the hit detective series.
215
00:10:23,862 --> 00:10:27,269
It's such an interesting character,
I think, Dorothea Frazil.
216
00:10:27,269 --> 00:10:31,558
Like she's this woman
existent in this man's world.
217
00:10:31,558 --> 00:10:33,642
Actually, Ms Frazil,
218
00:10:33,642 --> 00:10:35,847
I'd urge you in
the strongest possible terms
219
00:10:35,847 --> 00:10:38,412
not to make this communication
known to the public.
220
00:10:38,412 --> 00:10:40,737
As a favour.
221
00:10:40,737 --> 00:10:43,302
24 hours.
222
00:10:43,302 --> 00:10:45,266
After that...
223
00:10:45,266 --> 00:10:46,669
Pray that's enough.
224
00:10:46,669 --> 00:10:48,272
Morse.
225
00:10:50,035 --> 00:10:52,240
Another key character
created for the series
226
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,765
was Detective Inspector
Fred Thursday,
227
00:10:54,765 --> 00:10:58,533
who played mentor to the fledgling
detective Endeavour Morse.
228
00:10:58,533 --> 00:11:00,336
You're here on merit.
229
00:11:01,579 --> 00:11:03,262
Not that you'd know
by the state of you.
230
00:11:03,262 --> 00:11:05,066
You might have found time
to run an iron.
231
00:11:05,066 --> 00:11:08,513
That shirt looks like you slept
in it. First impressions, Morse.
232
00:11:08,513 --> 00:11:11,439
Thursday really wants
to help Endeavour.
233
00:11:11,439 --> 00:11:14,004
'And he's a prickly bugger.'
234
00:11:14,004 --> 00:11:16,048
I'm a good detective.
235
00:11:16,048 --> 00:11:18,253
And a poor policeman.
236
00:11:18,253 --> 00:11:19,976
No-one can teach you the first,
237
00:11:19,976 --> 00:11:22,221
any fool can learn the second.
238
00:11:22,221 --> 00:11:25,227
Fred's task, as he sees it,
239
00:11:25,227 --> 00:11:26,950
is to turn him into a good copper,
240
00:11:26,950 --> 00:11:29,997
and not get quite so highfalutin',
you know,
241
00:11:29,997 --> 00:11:33,404
in the possible solving
of all these crimes.
242
00:11:33,404 --> 00:11:36,289
One day I'll send you out
for a routine enquiry,
243
00:11:36,289 --> 00:11:38,133
and it will turn out
to be just that.
244
00:11:38,133 --> 00:11:39,777
I won't hold my breath.
245
00:11:39,777 --> 00:11:42,342
You'd find something suspicious
in a saint's sock drawer.
246
00:11:42,342 --> 00:11:44,626
With Morse and Lewis,
247
00:11:44,626 --> 00:11:46,470
that is reversed.
248
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:48,314
Morse is the senior man.
249
00:11:49,556 --> 00:11:51,921
If anyone wants me,
they'll find me looking at fish...
250
00:11:53,244 --> 00:11:55,809
..through the bottom
of a beer glass.
251
00:11:55,809 --> 00:11:58,936
I think the relationship
between Thursday and Endeavour
252
00:11:58,936 --> 00:12:02,463
is sadder than the one
with Lewis and Morse.
253
00:12:02,463 --> 00:12:04,627
FRED: Go home.
254
00:12:04,627 --> 00:12:06,791
Put your best record on.
255
00:12:06,791 --> 00:12:08,916
Loud as it'll play.
256
00:12:10,319 --> 00:12:12,042
And with every note,
257
00:12:12,042 --> 00:12:13,645
you remember...
258
00:12:15,489 --> 00:12:19,016
..that's something that
the darkness couldn't take from you.
259
00:12:19,016 --> 00:12:21,582
If you look at Endeavour,
it's working class
260
00:12:21,582 --> 00:12:23,345
old sweat
261
00:12:23,345 --> 00:12:25,870
that's keeping
this very bright young cop
262
00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:27,514
on the right track.
263
00:12:27,514 --> 00:12:30,399
So it's quite similar
to the Lewis situation,
264
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:33,686
except that Shaun is a lot better
looking than the rest of us.
265
00:12:33,686 --> 00:12:36,893
So you've got a very handsome Morse.
266
00:12:36,893 --> 00:12:39,578
But otherwise,
it's the same situation.
267
00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:42,464
OPERATIC SINGING
268
00:12:47,514 --> 00:12:51,482
It's hugely important
that Oxford is a character
269
00:12:51,482 --> 00:12:53,807
in the series.
270
00:12:57,094 --> 00:12:58,416
Thank you, Professor.
271
00:12:59,418 --> 00:13:01,863
One of the things
Oxford is best known for,
272
00:13:01,863 --> 00:13:03,587
besides the university etc,
273
00:13:03,587 --> 00:13:06,112
is the Inspector Morse
series of books
274
00:13:06,112 --> 00:13:09,599
and the Inspector Morse and Lewis
and now Endeavour series.
275
00:13:12,726 --> 00:13:17,134
It is the last time
in Endeavour's series history
276
00:13:17,134 --> 00:13:18,457
that we are in Oxford.
277
00:13:18,457 --> 00:13:21,263
And Endeavour
is visiting the joke shop,
278
00:13:21,263 --> 00:13:22,545
looking for evidence.
279
00:13:32,887 --> 00:13:34,610
SHOP BELL RINGS
280
00:13:34,610 --> 00:13:36,253
Bye now.
281
00:13:36,253 --> 00:13:37,977
I say, I say, I say,
282
00:13:37,977 --> 00:13:39,540
what can I do for you, then, sir?
283
00:13:39,540 --> 00:13:40,863
He asked him knowingly.
284
00:13:40,863 --> 00:13:44,670
It's a sad time for everybody,
we will miss everybody in Oxford,
285
00:13:44,670 --> 00:13:47,075
who makes us welcome,
and we will, of course,
286
00:13:47,075 --> 00:13:50,202
miss coming together away for
three or four nights as a team
287
00:13:50,202 --> 00:13:52,366
to get the material
that is always so, so beautiful.
288
00:13:52,366 --> 00:13:54,531
Especially on a day like today.
289
00:13:54,531 --> 00:13:56,134
People come to see us.
290
00:13:56,134 --> 00:13:59,982
Sometimes they travel from really
quite a long way away as well.
291
00:14:01,545 --> 00:14:04,751
I've been following Endeavour really
since the beginning.
292
00:14:04,751 --> 00:14:06,755
I stumbled across their filming
293
00:14:06,755 --> 00:14:08,319
in season one.
294
00:14:08,319 --> 00:14:10,964
And then in season two,
I took them some cakes down.
295
00:14:10,964 --> 00:14:13,569
And it's spiralled from there.
296
00:14:13,569 --> 00:14:18,179
To acknowledge this Oxford universe
of Morse coming to an end,
297
00:14:18,179 --> 00:14:21,505
Julia created
a particularly special cake.
298
00:14:21,505 --> 00:14:23,550
It's terribly, terribly sweet.
299
00:14:23,550 --> 00:14:27,117
When we were in Oxford this time,
we got that enormous cake.
300
00:14:27,117 --> 00:14:31,085
With lots of brilliant sort of icing
on it,
301
00:14:31,085 --> 00:14:35,614
that was newspapers
and Fred and Morse at the top.
302
00:14:35,614 --> 00:14:38,259
It was the most remarkable thing.
303
00:14:40,704 --> 00:14:41,987
All my lovely locations.
304
00:14:41,987 --> 00:14:44,873
I've got that
in the back of my car still.
305
00:14:44,873 --> 00:14:48,160
3, 2, 1.
306
00:14:51,647 --> 00:14:53,811
The Endeavour crew
are really welcoming.
307
00:14:53,811 --> 00:14:55,054
Mm.
308
00:14:56,336 --> 00:14:58,982
It's nice. And I'm not a cake lover.
309
00:14:58,982 --> 00:15:01,627
You get lots of tourists
who are fascinated
310
00:15:01,627 --> 00:15:04,192
and then you get the hardcore fans
that come specially
311
00:15:04,192 --> 00:15:06,036
and usually we are allowed
to skulk in a corner
312
00:15:06,036 --> 00:15:08,040
in a safe place out of the way.
313
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,924
But they never stop us.
314
00:15:09,924 --> 00:15:12,289
The Endeavour fans are amazing.
I don't know
315
00:15:12,289 --> 00:15:14,253
how they know where we are,
but they always do.
316
00:15:14,253 --> 00:15:16,136
I'm from Boston
in the United States.
317
00:15:16,136 --> 00:15:19,143
In the US,
you wouldn't get near filming
318
00:15:19,143 --> 00:15:21,147
as closely as the people here
seem to do.
319
00:15:21,147 --> 00:15:23,471
They are sweet, they are part
of the Endeavour family.
320
00:15:23,471 --> 00:15:25,676
Amazing likeness.
321
00:15:25,676 --> 00:15:28,161
You might look about 40 years older
than you do, Rog.
322
00:15:28,161 --> 00:15:29,924
But don't worry about it.
323
00:15:31,448 --> 00:15:34,333
One distinct addition
to the '60s world of Morse
324
00:15:34,333 --> 00:15:36,899
was the relationship
between Endeavour
325
00:15:36,899 --> 00:15:39,344
and the family life
of his boss, Fred Thursday.
326
00:15:39,344 --> 00:15:40,907
A lot to be said for family.
327
00:15:40,907 --> 00:15:42,670
And what if you don't have any?
328
00:15:43,993 --> 00:15:45,957
Do you think
that's how you end up your days?
329
00:15:45,957 --> 00:15:49,123
Alone in some two-bob kip?
330
00:15:49,123 --> 00:15:50,887
Nothing but a bottle for company?
331
00:15:50,887 --> 00:15:53,613
There was often the contrast between
332
00:15:53,613 --> 00:15:56,258
the warm and loving Thursday family
333
00:15:56,258 --> 00:15:58,302
and Morse as the outsider.
334
00:15:58,302 --> 00:16:00,667
Sit yourself down.
He won't be a tick.
335
00:16:00,667 --> 00:16:05,597
The family is a place
where he can get away from
336
00:16:05,597 --> 00:16:08,643
the disturbances and the violence
337
00:16:08,643 --> 00:16:10,968
that the job
often presents him with.
338
00:16:10,968 --> 00:16:13,052
We see that lightness,
339
00:16:13,052 --> 00:16:17,341
without his hat on, enjoying
his dinner round the table.
340
00:16:17,341 --> 00:16:19,545
And I think the audience
love those scenes.
341
00:16:19,545 --> 00:16:22,752
Morse, don't stand on ceremony.
Budge up, Sam.
342
00:16:22,752 --> 00:16:24,956
You shouldn't have let me sleep,
sir.
343
00:16:24,956 --> 00:16:27,762
It looked like you could do with it.
Mrs Thursday has done you some tea.
344
00:16:27,762 --> 00:16:29,846
Win, dear.
345
00:16:29,846 --> 00:16:32,612
Endeavour as a character
wants to be part of that family,
346
00:16:32,612 --> 00:16:34,375
and wants that safety.
347
00:16:34,375 --> 00:16:39,145
And the linchpin of the Thursday
household was Fred's wife, Win.
348
00:16:39,145 --> 00:16:40,949
Early on in the series,
349
00:16:40,949 --> 00:16:43,755
I think my main sort of...
350
00:16:43,755 --> 00:16:46,320
thrust was bringing tea
and making sandwiches.
351
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,284
The way you went out of here
this morning
352
00:16:48,284 --> 00:16:50,448
I didn't even get a chance
to do your sandwiches.
353
00:16:50,448 --> 00:16:52,292
You got time now?
354
00:16:52,292 --> 00:16:55,298
No, I just popped back
to get my pipe.
355
00:16:55,298 --> 00:16:57,022
Left it in the shed.
356
00:16:57,022 --> 00:16:59,106
I'll do you a quick round.
357
00:16:59,106 --> 00:17:01,992
I do feel she is
an integral part of the show,
358
00:17:01,992 --> 00:17:03,755
you know, I do feel that,
359
00:17:03,755 --> 00:17:05,439
and I do feel the audience love her.
360
00:17:05,439 --> 00:17:08,124
I'm there in the morning giving him
his sandwiches and saying...
361
00:17:08,124 --> 00:17:10,409
Come home safe.
362
00:17:10,409 --> 00:17:12,934
..which is another one
of her little isms.
363
00:17:12,934 --> 00:17:14,738
She always says, "Come home safe."
364
00:17:14,738 --> 00:17:18,345
But playing Win Thursday
wasn't actor Caroline O'Neill's
365
00:17:18,345 --> 00:17:20,670
first journey
into the Morse universe.
366
00:17:22,153 --> 00:17:24,638
I had a little tiny appearance
in Lewis many moons ago.
367
00:17:24,638 --> 00:17:26,521
My husband was murdered.
368
00:17:26,521 --> 00:17:29,568
So I did get the opportunity
to work with them on that.
369
00:17:29,568 --> 00:17:31,371
That's Reg.
370
00:17:31,371 --> 00:17:33,095
Thanks, Mrs Chapman.
371
00:17:34,337 --> 00:17:35,740
Cup of tea?
372
00:17:35,740 --> 00:17:37,744
There have been a few actors
who have come in...
373
00:17:37,744 --> 00:17:40,470
I know Roger did
an Inspector Morse.
374
00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:41,953
Those links are wonderful.
375
00:17:41,953 --> 00:17:45,721
The journalism, that's
your only connection with Mr Owens?
376
00:17:45,721 --> 00:17:47,644
Absolutely.
377
00:17:47,644 --> 00:17:49,047
Are you sure, sir?
378
00:17:49,047 --> 00:17:50,971
Because, you see,
379
00:17:50,971 --> 00:17:53,216
we believe
he was engaged in blackmail.
380
00:17:53,216 --> 00:17:55,621
Good God.
381
00:17:55,621 --> 00:17:58,547
People are absolutely obsessed
with Morse.
382
00:17:58,547 --> 00:18:01,192
People do dissertations on it
in university.
383
00:18:01,192 --> 00:18:02,875
Which is very touching.
384
00:18:02,875 --> 00:18:06,202
And as those university experts
will know,
385
00:18:06,202 --> 00:18:08,086
back in the year 2000,
386
00:18:08,086 --> 00:18:10,892
after 13 years and 33 episodes,
387
00:18:10,892 --> 00:18:13,056
the original series
of Inspector Morse
388
00:18:13,056 --> 00:18:15,221
became famous for its bold decision
389
00:18:15,221 --> 00:18:18,146
to kill off its title character.
390
00:18:18,146 --> 00:18:20,431
For Morse to actually die on screen
391
00:18:20,431 --> 00:18:24,079
was quite a big deal, well, it was
a huge deal... at the time
392
00:18:24,079 --> 00:18:26,884
I didn't quite catch that, Morse.
393
00:18:30,692 --> 00:18:33,778
Thank Lewis...
394
00:18:34,860 --> 00:18:36,704
..for me.
395
00:18:36,704 --> 00:18:40,953
In 2006, Kevin Whately
returned to the Oxford crime scene,
396
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:44,320
this time as the lead detective
Lewis.
397
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,644
Who the hell are you?
398
00:18:46,644 --> 00:18:48,849
Inspector Lewis, Sergeant Hathaway.
399
00:18:48,849 --> 00:18:50,653
Oxfordshire Police.
400
00:18:50,653 --> 00:18:54,661
Audiences like to feel
that relaxed with characters
401
00:18:54,661 --> 00:18:58,028
and are used to having that friendly
face in the corner of their room.
402
00:18:59,631 --> 00:19:02,477
I think that there's definitely
a through line
403
00:19:02,477 --> 00:19:05,322
through all the films
and the different franchises.
404
00:19:05,322 --> 00:19:08,008
But there's a different dynamic
on Endeavour,
405
00:19:08,008 --> 00:19:11,214
because Russell's
got the historic thing
406
00:19:11,214 --> 00:19:13,379
and he links it
to whatever is going on,
407
00:19:13,379 --> 00:19:14,782
which is very clever.
408
00:19:16,585 --> 00:19:21,636
Given that it's set 50 years
prior to where we are now,
409
00:19:21,636 --> 00:19:24,121
when you look at the things
that have happened
410
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:25,804
socially and politically,
411
00:19:25,804 --> 00:19:28,089
and you're able
to hold the mirror up,
412
00:19:28,089 --> 00:19:30,894
in a more artful way,
413
00:19:30,894 --> 00:19:33,419
then that's when I think it works.
414
00:19:33,419 --> 00:19:35,624
Rather than just a...
415
00:19:35,624 --> 00:19:38,871
attractive chocolate box
of a show, you know what I mean.
416
00:19:38,871 --> 00:19:40,434
It becomes something else.
417
00:19:40,434 --> 00:19:43,280
My husband had Hitler's ear.
418
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,684
WE could have persuaded him...
419
00:19:46,967 --> 00:19:50,174
..softened his resolve.
He wasn't immune to reason.
420
00:19:50,174 --> 00:19:52,138
Charming conversationalist,
no doubt.
421
00:19:52,138 --> 00:19:54,823
As an audience member
I can watch it and think,
422
00:19:54,823 --> 00:19:56,506
God, this is extraordinary,
423
00:19:56,506 --> 00:20:00,515
how Russell writes
these incredibly complex
424
00:20:00,515 --> 00:20:03,080
episodes that are linked to,
you know...
425
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,405
whether it's politics in the '70s,
426
00:20:05,405 --> 00:20:07,809
racism, the strikes...
427
00:20:07,809 --> 00:20:10,695
That's one of the things
that all drama does very, very well
428
00:20:10,695 --> 00:20:12,659
and has been doing
from time immemorial.
429
00:20:12,659 --> 00:20:16,387
You know, looking...
looking at the past,
430
00:20:16,387 --> 00:20:18,551
and using that as a way of
431
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:20,716
looking where we are now.
432
00:20:20,716 --> 00:20:22,760
There's an episode that Joan was in
433
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,085
and it kind of coincided
with the Black Lives Matter.
434
00:20:25,085 --> 00:20:27,409
ALL: Integration for a nation.
435
00:20:27,409 --> 00:20:29,574
Integration for a nation.
436
00:20:29,574 --> 00:20:31,297
CLAPPING
437
00:20:31,297 --> 00:20:34,223
The sign on this door
438
00:20:34,223 --> 00:20:36,788
says "No coloureds".
439
00:20:36,788 --> 00:20:41,318
This is the language of segregation.
440
00:20:41,318 --> 00:20:44,324
It's great that we can look back
to reflect,
441
00:20:44,324 --> 00:20:47,290
to see, in some sense,
how far we've come,
442
00:20:47,290 --> 00:20:49,173
and in other senses,
443
00:20:49,173 --> 00:20:50,897
how far we still need to come.
444
00:21:05,086 --> 00:21:07,130
One of the strengths of Endeavour
445
00:21:07,130 --> 00:21:09,735
is the attention to detail,
446
00:21:09,735 --> 00:21:12,020
and that's across the board,
you know,
447
00:21:12,020 --> 00:21:15,267
with the crew and the music
and the casting.
448
00:21:15,267 --> 00:21:18,192
There's so much detail
that's gone into it.
449
00:21:18,192 --> 00:21:20,878
And one character
with an attention to detail
450
00:21:20,878 --> 00:21:22,361
second only to Morse
451
00:21:22,361 --> 00:21:24,766
is their resident pathologist.
452
00:21:24,766 --> 00:21:26,970
Ah.
453
00:21:26,970 --> 00:21:30,457
Max DeBryn is the resident
Home Office pathologist.
454
00:21:30,457 --> 00:21:33,664
So he's... he's good at his job,
he's skilled.
455
00:21:33,664 --> 00:21:37,632
People always seem to like
the directness.
456
00:21:37,632 --> 00:21:39,957
Anything, Doc?
Well...
457
00:21:39,957 --> 00:21:41,320
his head's in this room
458
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,524
and his body's in that room,
so that...
459
00:21:43,524 --> 00:21:45,568
might have something to do with it.
460
00:21:45,568 --> 00:21:46,811
People seem to love that.
461
00:21:46,811 --> 00:21:47,973
Time of death?
462
00:21:47,973 --> 00:21:50,178
Two thousand years ago.
463
00:21:50,178 --> 00:21:52,142
Two thousand years?
Yes.
464
00:21:52,142 --> 00:21:54,586
Give or take
a couple of hundred years.
465
00:21:54,586 --> 00:21:56,791
Might have trouble
notifying his next of kin.
466
00:21:56,791 --> 00:22:00,238
What a brilliant character
Max DeBryn is.
467
00:22:00,238 --> 00:22:05,248
This morbid humour
and these witticisms and sayings.
468
00:22:05,248 --> 00:22:08,294
Male, late 50s, early 60s.
469
00:22:08,294 --> 00:22:10,819
What's with all the, er, blood?
470
00:22:10,819 --> 00:22:14,788
Someone's stuck a broken bottle
in his neck.
471
00:22:14,788 --> 00:22:17,794
I didn't realise
how much forensics had changed
472
00:22:17,794 --> 00:22:19,718
until I did a bit of research.
473
00:22:19,718 --> 00:22:21,361
DEBRYN:
Whether that's what did for him,
474
00:22:21,361 --> 00:22:23,565
or he was already on his way out,
475
00:22:23,565 --> 00:22:25,850
I'm afraid I won't be able
to express an opinion
476
00:22:25,850 --> 00:22:28,175
until after the postmortem.
477
00:22:28,175 --> 00:22:30,499
Shall we say two o'clock?
478
00:22:30,499 --> 00:22:32,784
Cut there. Beautiful.
Print that, please.
479
00:22:32,784 --> 00:22:34,628
Thank you.
480
00:22:34,628 --> 00:22:36,391
And for actor James Bradshaw,
481
00:22:36,391 --> 00:22:39,117
understanding the details
of his fictional job
482
00:22:39,117 --> 00:22:41,121
has always been important.
483
00:22:41,121 --> 00:22:45,570
DNA didn't actually come into
being used as a forensic tool
484
00:22:45,570 --> 00:22:48,336
until the 1980s.
485
00:22:48,336 --> 00:22:51,262
Even wearing surgical gloves
at a crime scene
486
00:22:51,262 --> 00:22:54,909
didn't become standard procedure
until 1972.
487
00:22:54,909 --> 00:22:58,076
So it was just fascinating
to find all this stuff out.
488
00:23:03,366 --> 00:23:05,290
It looks to be a cap badge.
489
00:23:06,453 --> 00:23:09,258
And as the serious Morse fans know,
490
00:23:09,258 --> 00:23:11,142
the character of Max DeBryn
491
00:23:11,142 --> 00:23:13,467
is one of the few
original characters
492
00:23:13,467 --> 00:23:16,192
to appear from the 1980s TV series.
493
00:23:16,192 --> 00:23:18,437
Oh, by the way...
494
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:22,325
..he wore a hearing aid.
495
00:23:22,325 --> 00:23:25,371
He was played by Peter Woodthorpe
in the original series.
496
00:23:25,371 --> 00:23:29,018
My job, sir, is to certify death
where it has occurred
497
00:23:29,018 --> 00:23:32,906
and to ascertain, where possible,
the physical causes.
498
00:23:32,906 --> 00:23:36,594
Now, Inspector Morse came out,
I would have been 11, 12.
499
00:23:36,594 --> 00:23:38,919
I had a vague memory of it.
500
00:23:38,919 --> 00:23:41,564
I think I looked at a picture
of Peter Woodthorpe,
501
00:23:41,564 --> 00:23:44,811
and there was the bow tie
and the glasses,
502
00:23:44,811 --> 00:23:47,135
so I kept that in mind.
503
00:23:47,135 --> 00:23:49,901
Plus the one other
original character
504
00:23:49,901 --> 00:23:53,388
was, of course,
Police Constable Jim Strange.
505
00:23:53,388 --> 00:23:56,154
Jim Strange is a career policeman,
506
00:23:56,154 --> 00:23:58,719
and he has...
507
00:23:58,719 --> 00:24:02,486
no ulterior motives,
other than advancement.
508
00:24:02,486 --> 00:24:05,372
Congratulations, by the way...
Sergeant Strange.
509
00:24:06,735 --> 00:24:09,140
Yeah, well...
510
00:24:09,140 --> 00:24:10,864
Lot of piles, eh?
511
00:24:12,868 --> 00:24:15,513
An advancement
that would see the character become
512
00:24:15,513 --> 00:24:19,521
Chief Superintendent Strange -
and eventually Endeavour's boss.
513
00:24:19,521 --> 00:24:23,008
Fundamentally,
there's a part of Endeavour
514
00:24:23,008 --> 00:24:25,573
that Strange will never understand.
515
00:24:25,573 --> 00:24:29,582
They both very much
get on with what they do.
516
00:24:29,582 --> 00:24:31,906
Look, matey, I know
it's no locked-room mystery,
517
00:24:31,906 --> 00:24:34,111
but sometimes, the simplest answer
is the right one.
518
00:24:34,111 --> 00:24:36,035
What have you got
against it being him?
519
00:24:36,035 --> 00:24:38,440
Nothing. I'm just trying
to keep an open mind.
520
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,642
It is the job, isn't it?
521
00:24:39,642 --> 00:24:42,768
Where they've clashed
is their personalities,
522
00:24:42,768 --> 00:24:45,614
which are absolutely
chalk and cheese.
523
00:24:46,817 --> 00:24:48,540
With 36 episodes,
524
00:24:48,540 --> 00:24:51,426
Endeavour has now become
the longest running series
525
00:24:51,426 --> 00:24:54,071
in the trio
of Morse detective adventures,
526
00:24:54,071 --> 00:24:56,476
and it has never neglected
to acknowledge its roots,
527
00:24:56,476 --> 00:24:59,723
from John Thaw's Morse of the 1980s
528
00:24:59,723 --> 00:25:02,008
to the cameos
by writer Colin Dexter,
529
00:25:02,008 --> 00:25:03,410
whose original novels
530
00:25:03,410 --> 00:25:06,857
have now inspired
over four decades of TV crime.
531
00:25:06,857 --> 00:25:09,262
I actually had the joy
of sitting on a bus
532
00:25:09,262 --> 00:25:10,906
with Colin Dexter.
533
00:25:10,906 --> 00:25:13,310
He sat in front of me.
And it was just brilliant.
534
00:25:13,310 --> 00:25:16,437
Cos, you know, it's like,
"Oh, my God, I can't believe it!"
535
00:25:16,437 --> 00:25:18,641
I hadn't had the pleasure
of meeting him until then.
536
00:25:18,641 --> 00:25:22,209
And although Colin died
back in 2017,
537
00:25:22,209 --> 00:25:24,493
the series continued to honour him.
538
00:25:24,493 --> 00:25:27,259
We try and have
a little thing of Colin Dexter
539
00:25:27,259 --> 00:25:28,782
somewhere in each of the films,
540
00:25:28,782 --> 00:25:32,510
whether it's a poster on the wall,
or a bust in the library...
541
00:25:32,510 --> 00:25:36,237
It's important,
a nod to the heritage.
542
00:25:36,237 --> 00:25:38,201
As long as it's not overwhelming,
I think.
543
00:25:38,201 --> 00:25:42,209
You know, as long as it's...
it's become a part of the story.
544
00:25:42,209 --> 00:25:45,536
And in recent years,
lead actor Shaun Evans
545
00:25:45,536 --> 00:25:49,304
has taken on a bigger role
in the storytelling of the series.
546
00:25:49,304 --> 00:25:51,508
One of the draws of the job
547
00:25:51,508 --> 00:25:53,833
for me, you know,
as soon as I realised
548
00:25:53,833 --> 00:25:57,681
it was gonna go a little further
than just a one-off, to see...
549
00:25:57,681 --> 00:26:01,007
"Oh, actually, I could learn,
by the end of this,
550
00:26:01,007 --> 00:26:04,254
"how to be broader,
how to be able to tell stories,
551
00:26:04,254 --> 00:26:06,779
"not just from
an acting point of view."
552
00:26:06,779 --> 00:26:09,425
The first one that I directed
of Endeavour
553
00:26:09,425 --> 00:26:12,791
was Apollo,
and it's about the moon landing.
554
00:26:12,791 --> 00:26:16,078
NEIL ARMSTRONG: 'Tranquility base
here. The Eagle has landed.
555
00:26:16,078 --> 00:26:18,363
'I'm going to step off the LM now.
556
00:26:19,525 --> 00:26:23,453
'That's one small step for man,
557
00:26:23,453 --> 00:26:26,940
'one giant leap for mankind.'
558
00:26:26,940 --> 00:26:29,345
I have no idea how he did it,
559
00:26:29,345 --> 00:26:32,752
and I think that's a string to his
bow that he wants to develop more.
560
00:26:32,752 --> 00:26:36,239
MAN: Camera set. And... action.
561
00:26:36,239 --> 00:26:40,608
But some of the text
that he has to speak,
562
00:26:40,608 --> 00:26:44,175
while he's keeping
a director's hat on,
563
00:26:44,175 --> 00:26:47,101
was ridiculously difficult.
564
00:26:47,101 --> 00:26:49,506
Jeff Slayton's personal assistant
is murdered,
565
00:26:49,506 --> 00:26:52,352
his scientific adviser dies in a
car crash intended for someone else,
566
00:26:52,352 --> 00:26:54,717
and not 48 hours later,
one of his puppeteers is found dead.
567
00:26:54,717 --> 00:26:56,881
I would say they were connected.
568
00:26:56,881 --> 00:26:59,166
And now, cos I'm now getting old,
569
00:26:59,166 --> 00:27:01,811
and I have to learn my words
weeks in advance,
570
00:27:01,811 --> 00:27:05,699
I just look with horror
at the stuff that he has to do.
571
00:27:05,699 --> 00:27:07,623
But he seems to thrive on it.
572
00:27:07,623 --> 00:27:09,306
Working on it for a period of time,
573
00:27:09,306 --> 00:27:11,631
and also peering back the curtain
and being...
574
00:27:11,631 --> 00:27:13,595
and starting to direct and whatnot
575
00:27:13,595 --> 00:27:17,483
has made me approach all of the work
in a different way.
576
00:27:17,483 --> 00:27:21,090
And cut. Let's give that
another whirl, please, my friends.
577
00:27:21,090 --> 00:27:22,333
He's in it 100%,
578
00:27:22,333 --> 00:27:24,898
and it's interesting, cos I think
there's parts of Morse
579
00:27:24,898 --> 00:27:27,223
that are quite like Shaun as well.
580
00:27:27,223 --> 00:27:29,908
His dedication to the work,
581
00:27:29,908 --> 00:27:33,676
and his detail
that he puts into his work.
582
00:27:33,676 --> 00:27:37,283
There was one scene in particular
where he had to find a tape
583
00:27:37,283 --> 00:27:40,490
at the back of a doll's house.
And for a couple of takes,
584
00:27:40,490 --> 00:27:42,935
what he did was,
he asked one of the crew
585
00:27:42,935 --> 00:27:45,139
to hide it in a different place
each time,
586
00:27:45,139 --> 00:27:47,905
so that he would
actually have to go and find it.
587
00:27:47,905 --> 00:27:51,392
So he was actively searching, as
opposed to just acting the search.
588
00:27:51,392 --> 00:27:55,039
I think someone
was looking for something...
589
00:27:55,039 --> 00:27:57,324
only they didn't find it, because...
590
00:27:58,566 --> 00:28:00,490
..she had hidden it somewhere safe.
591
00:28:04,579 --> 00:28:06,102
It's just things like that.
592
00:28:06,102 --> 00:28:09,469
Those little bits that you think,
you've been doing this for so long,
593
00:28:09,469 --> 00:28:12,314
and it would be so easy to say,
"I've got this."
594
00:28:12,314 --> 00:28:15,240
You know, "I'll just phone it in."
But he never, ever did that.
595
00:28:18,687 --> 00:28:21,854
Across 36 years,
the streets and spires of Oxford
596
00:28:21,854 --> 00:28:25,381
have become home
to the television universe of Morse.
597
00:28:25,381 --> 00:28:29,068
And at the heart of it all
has been one complex character.
598
00:28:29,068 --> 00:28:33,157
Like any good protagonist on TV,
599
00:28:33,157 --> 00:28:35,361
he's a man of layers,
600
00:28:35,361 --> 00:28:37,566
and there are
a lot of different Endeavours.
601
00:28:37,566 --> 00:28:40,371
For people who've watched the show
over the years,
602
00:28:40,371 --> 00:28:43,818
you'll have seen
the hardworking detective,
603
00:28:43,818 --> 00:28:47,306
the romantic, the melancholic,
604
00:28:47,306 --> 00:28:50,712
the alcoholic, the depressive.
605
00:28:50,712 --> 00:28:52,917
You've seen him as a good friend,
a bad friend.
606
00:28:52,917 --> 00:28:54,881
You've seen him as a good detective,
a bad detective.
607
00:28:54,881 --> 00:28:56,965
Don't ever do that again.
608
00:28:56,965 --> 00:28:59,691
When I'm questioning a suspect,
I expect you to back me.
609
00:28:59,691 --> 00:29:01,214
Questioning a suspect?
610
00:29:01,214 --> 00:29:03,138
If you wanna take a leaf
out of Thursday's book,
611
00:29:03,138 --> 00:29:04,541
there's better places to start!
612
00:29:04,541 --> 00:29:06,384
Look, let's get one thing straight,
matey.
613
00:29:06,384 --> 00:29:08,108
You don't tell me.
I tell you, all right?
614
00:29:08,108 --> 00:29:10,513
Job calls for brains,
you'll be the first in the queue.
615
00:29:10,513 --> 00:29:13,318
Something like this, leave it
to those who've got the sand.
616
00:29:13,318 --> 00:29:16,325
He contains multitudes.
617
00:29:16,325 --> 00:29:19,170
But I think probably
one of his cornerstones
618
00:29:19,170 --> 00:29:21,415
is that he's a bit grumpy.
619
00:29:21,415 --> 00:29:22,738
But that's why we love him.
620
00:29:22,738 --> 00:29:26,625
But who loved this
somewhat unlovable character?
621
00:29:26,625 --> 00:29:29,752
John Thaw's Inspector Morse
was a regular flirt.
622
00:29:29,752 --> 00:29:31,475
Even with suspects,
623
00:29:31,475 --> 00:29:34,722
played by familiar actors
and voice-over artists.
624
00:29:34,722 --> 00:29:37,367
Can you at least remember
what he had to drink?
625
00:29:37,367 --> 00:29:40,013
Sherry. Medium, I think.
626
00:29:40,013 --> 00:29:43,901
That's better than the stuff that
passes for ale in there, anyway.
627
00:29:43,901 --> 00:29:45,664
Well, that, I wouldn't know.
628
00:29:45,664 --> 00:29:48,390
I don't drink much at the best
of times, and never at lunch.
629
00:29:48,390 --> 00:29:52,037
I like to be in complete command of
myself when I'm working, Inspector.
630
00:29:52,037 --> 00:29:54,081
Really?
631
00:29:54,081 --> 00:29:57,568
I like to let go.
I always drink at lunchtime.
632
00:29:57,568 --> 00:29:59,893
It helps my imagination.
633
00:29:59,893 --> 00:30:03,260
But there were many women
with whom he had relationships.
634
00:30:03,260 --> 00:30:06,186
You're known around here
as one of the good guys, Morse.
635
00:30:18,611 --> 00:30:21,377
But no love was ever convinced
to stay.
636
00:30:21,377 --> 00:30:23,301
I'm sorry.
637
00:30:23,301 --> 00:30:24,944
You're very nice.
638
00:30:26,668 --> 00:30:29,313
I've just had enough of men
for the moment, OK?
639
00:30:29,313 --> 00:30:32,960
And the root of the detective's
failed love life
640
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,405
became the cornerstone
of the Endeavour backstory.
641
00:30:35,405 --> 00:30:37,570
What do they call you, then?
642
00:30:37,570 --> 00:30:39,013
Morse.
643
00:30:39,013 --> 00:30:41,618
Endeavour has had this thing
about Joan, we know.
644
00:30:41,618 --> 00:30:44,343
But he's had a thing about
quite a number of other people
645
00:30:44,343 --> 00:30:46,348
as well, and hasn't done
646
00:30:46,348 --> 00:30:49,995
too badly on the front
of having relationships.
647
00:30:49,995 --> 00:30:51,879
You know, with the lovely nurse.
648
00:30:51,879 --> 00:30:54,604
FIREWORKS
649
00:31:00,737 --> 00:31:03,623
He's had so many lovely women
over the series
650
00:31:03,623 --> 00:31:06,308
that he's had brief relationships
with.
651
00:31:06,308 --> 00:31:09,194
And he doesn't seem to be
able to forge relationships.
652
00:31:09,194 --> 00:31:12,040
They say you're never so alive
as when you're close to death.
653
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,803
Well, maybe the reverse
is also true.
654
00:31:13,803 --> 00:31:15,567
Jesus! It's just sex.
655
00:31:17,531 --> 00:31:19,174
It's not love.
656
00:31:24,505 --> 00:31:26,108
I know.
657
00:31:26,108 --> 00:31:27,992
I suppose he is conflicted.
658
00:31:27,992 --> 00:31:31,038
But he's a solitary figure,
isn't he?
659
00:31:40,177 --> 00:31:44,025
For Morse, there was one love
that was there right from the start.
660
00:31:44,025 --> 00:31:47,111
Fred and Win's daughter, Joan.
661
00:31:47,111 --> 00:31:50,358
The first few episodes,
she's going out on dates,
662
00:31:50,358 --> 00:31:53,083
and you see her kind of being
quite mischievous with Morse,
663
00:31:53,083 --> 00:31:55,248
you know, trying to wind him up.
664
00:31:55,248 --> 00:31:56,570
Well, don't stand on ceremony!
665
00:31:58,334 --> 00:32:01,019
Er, it's probably best
if I wait in the...
666
00:32:01,019 --> 00:32:03,665
I think it's probably best
if you just do as you're told.
667
00:32:03,665 --> 00:32:05,108
HE CHUCKLES
668
00:32:05,108 --> 00:32:08,715
You wouldn't say they were,
you know, the perfect pair,
669
00:32:08,715 --> 00:32:12,362
in the sense that she's quite
outgoing, he's quite awkward.
670
00:32:12,362 --> 00:32:17,773
It's interesting, cos with
the kind of love story that emerged,
671
00:32:17,773 --> 00:32:20,218
it was really early on...
672
00:32:20,218 --> 00:32:24,427
There was an episode where
Jakes takes Joan out for a date.
673
00:32:24,427 --> 00:32:27,633
MUSIC PLAYING
674
00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:33,445
Endeavour walks her home
after it goes wrong.
675
00:32:33,445 --> 00:32:36,010
And I remember,
in the stage directions,
676
00:32:36,010 --> 00:32:37,774
Russell had written:
677
00:32:37,774 --> 00:32:40,379
"This is the moment
he will look back on
678
00:32:40,379 --> 00:32:43,746
"as the moment that he knew
he'd fallen in love."
679
00:32:43,746 --> 00:32:47,113
I thought I'd be all right
with a copper.
680
00:32:47,113 --> 00:32:49,037
Well, there are coppers
and there are coppers.
681
00:32:49,037 --> 00:32:51,241
What sort are you?
682
00:32:52,444 --> 00:32:54,608
I'm the sort that see young ladies
safely home.
683
00:32:54,608 --> 00:32:57,254
'Joan has been on quite a journey.'
684
00:32:57,254 --> 00:33:00,460
We see her quite
bright-eyed and bushy-tailed
685
00:33:00,460 --> 00:33:03,346
right at the beginning. She's still
living with her mum and dad,
686
00:33:03,346 --> 00:33:06,112
she's taken quite a respectable job
at the bank,
687
00:33:06,112 --> 00:33:07,715
doing the right thing.
688
00:33:07,715 --> 00:33:10,200
It's a lunch HOUR, Miss Thursday.
Sorry, Mr Fordyce.
689
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,685
I'll make it up.
Indeed you will, Miss Thursday.
690
00:33:12,685 --> 00:33:15,892
And then there's that incident
at the bank with Endeavour.
691
00:33:15,892 --> 00:33:17,896
Nobody move, this is a robbery!
692
00:33:17,896 --> 00:33:21,182
COMMOTION, SHOUTING
693
00:33:21,182 --> 00:33:22,746
She's going for the bell!
694
00:33:22,746 --> 00:33:24,950
OK!
What are you doing?!
695
00:33:24,950 --> 00:33:27,395
Stop, stop!
Don't look at me!
696
00:33:27,395 --> 00:33:29,720
He happens to be there as well.
697
00:33:30,922 --> 00:33:32,686
It's a good job you're here.
698
00:33:34,369 --> 00:33:37,696
I mean, I'm glad.
If it's any comfort. Me too.
699
00:33:39,780 --> 00:33:42,466
We see, through the series,
700
00:33:42,466 --> 00:33:47,356
how that kind of life
has taken its toll on her as well.
701
00:33:47,356 --> 00:33:49,320
Stay.
I can't.
702
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,324
Just give it time.
703
00:33:51,324 --> 00:33:55,492
I'm a huge admirer of Sara.
She's a terrific actress.
704
00:33:56,735 --> 00:33:58,939
Take care of yourself, Morse.
705
00:34:01,424 --> 00:34:03,829
You too, Miss Thursday.
706
00:34:05,232 --> 00:34:08,599
I think what we've...
or, I hope what we've achieved,
707
00:34:08,599 --> 00:34:12,006
very subtly,
is those dynamic shifts.
708
00:34:12,006 --> 00:34:14,130
I've made such a mess.
709
00:34:17,737 --> 00:34:19,982
I don't know what to do.
710
00:34:19,982 --> 00:34:22,307
There was one point where I said...
711
00:34:22,307 --> 00:34:23,910
Marry me.
712
00:34:27,557 --> 00:34:29,521
And she goes. She doesn't marry him.
713
00:34:30,924 --> 00:34:32,648
SHE EXCLAIMS
714
00:34:34,050 --> 00:34:35,453
Morse, I...
715
00:34:37,538 --> 00:34:39,662
I don't want your pity.
716
00:34:42,668 --> 00:34:45,955
Every time I got a script,
I was thinking, this is gonna be it.
717
00:34:45,955 --> 00:34:48,199
You know,
is there gonna be this kiss?
718
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:49,642
'Is there gonna be this moment?
719
00:34:49,642 --> 00:34:51,927
'Are they going to
finally get together?'
720
00:34:51,927 --> 00:34:54,372
Do you want to come in?
721
00:34:56,576 --> 00:34:58,420
For coffee?
722
00:35:01,025 --> 00:35:02,188
Yeah.
723
00:35:02,188 --> 00:35:04,192
Over the series,
there are those moments
724
00:35:04,192 --> 00:35:05,795
where they look at each other and...
725
00:35:05,795 --> 00:35:07,599
you just think,
"Oh, go on, do it now!
726
00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:09,763
You know,
"Kiss each other now, profess..."
727
00:35:09,763 --> 00:35:11,968
I don't go much for coffee.
728
00:35:11,968 --> 00:35:16,537
Right to the bitter end,
we get those, all the way along.
729
00:35:16,537 --> 00:35:19,302
Actually, I should probably go.
730
00:35:19,302 --> 00:35:20,705
You just got here.
731
00:35:20,705 --> 00:35:23,030
Yeah, work.
732
00:35:24,513 --> 00:35:26,958
I just wanted to wish you well.
733
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:30,004
I... just love the bones of her.
734
00:35:30,004 --> 00:35:33,211
You know, she's just
exciting to play, and...
735
00:35:33,211 --> 00:35:36,257
I'll be sad to get my hair
back-combed for the last time.
736
00:35:36,257 --> 00:35:37,660
SHE LAUGHS
737
00:35:43,271 --> 00:35:44,674
Action!
738
00:35:44,674 --> 00:35:48,402
APPLAUSE
739
00:35:48,402 --> 00:35:50,606
We've got our biggest day
of the shoot today.
740
00:35:50,606 --> 00:35:52,891
We have got a wedding,
741
00:35:52,891 --> 00:35:55,857
so we've got all our regular cast,
742
00:35:55,857 --> 00:35:58,783
for the first time
in the show's history.
743
00:35:58,783 --> 00:36:01,829
And also, shooting with the amount
of crowd that we have here today,
744
00:36:01,829 --> 00:36:05,997
all the wedding guests,
it's an enormous team effort.
745
00:36:06,999 --> 00:36:10,727
This is one of the first occasions,
if not THE first occasion,
746
00:36:10,727 --> 00:36:13,132
where we've all been together,
as a cast.
747
00:36:13,132 --> 00:36:15,657
We had the reception,
748
00:36:15,657 --> 00:36:18,503
and I got to have a dance
with Mrs Thursday, and...
749
00:36:18,503 --> 00:36:21,389
Sort of chatting to Dorothea,
Abby's character.
750
00:36:21,389 --> 00:36:23,072
Yeah, it was great. Just lovely.
751
00:36:23,072 --> 00:36:26,198
We all tend to have
our little sort of boxes
752
00:36:26,198 --> 00:36:29,565
of characters, and this time,
having this wedding
753
00:36:29,565 --> 00:36:33,413
has brought us all together,
just like a real wedding.
754
00:36:33,413 --> 00:36:36,900
And the sort of bittersweet fact
755
00:36:36,900 --> 00:36:39,786
that Joan and Strange
have got together
756
00:36:39,786 --> 00:36:43,874
and it's not Endeavour and Joan -
that's one thing.
757
00:36:43,874 --> 00:36:46,119
But on the other hand,
it's also very joyous,
758
00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:50,087
and it seems sort of
the right thing to do,
759
00:36:50,087 --> 00:36:51,891
to all end at a wedding.
760
00:36:51,891 --> 00:36:55,578
And finally,
Joan and Jim's wedding.
761
00:36:55,578 --> 00:36:57,262
Action!
762
00:36:57,262 --> 00:37:01,510
CROWD CHEERING
763
00:37:01,510 --> 00:37:05,318
After much anticipation, Joan
had said yes to marrying not Morse,
764
00:37:05,318 --> 00:37:08,444
but the other long-running detective
in the series.
765
00:37:08,444 --> 00:37:10,328
Jim Strange.
766
00:37:10,328 --> 00:37:12,813
We had absolutely everybody there.
767
00:37:12,813 --> 00:37:14,817
And we had a lot of fun,
a lot of laughs,
768
00:37:14,817 --> 00:37:16,781
as we tend to do
whenever there were groups of us
769
00:37:16,781 --> 00:37:18,745
getting together to shoot scenes.
770
00:37:18,745 --> 00:37:21,511
But this happy occasion
was, of course, fraught
771
00:37:21,511 --> 00:37:23,315
for one key character.
772
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:30,008
Endings can be very difficult,
cos you're trying
773
00:37:30,008 --> 00:37:34,097
to tie everything up, and you can't
please all the people all the time.
774
00:37:34,097 --> 00:37:37,263
There's a beautiful scene
in the last episode,
775
00:37:37,263 --> 00:37:39,467
where Joan is about to be married.
776
00:37:41,592 --> 00:37:46,923
And she goes over to Morse,
and she says...
777
00:37:46,923 --> 00:37:51,131
You know, I don't think
you've ever called me by my name.
778
00:37:51,131 --> 00:37:52,374
Have I not?
779
00:37:52,374 --> 00:37:54,097
No.
780
00:37:55,700 --> 00:37:57,544
Well, that's probably for the best.
781
00:37:57,544 --> 00:37:59,308
How's that?
782
00:37:59,308 --> 00:38:01,873
Because if I had...
said it once out loud,
783
00:38:01,873 --> 00:38:04,518
I think I might
never have been able to stop.
784
00:38:06,963 --> 00:38:08,607
Truth is...
785
00:38:10,250 --> 00:38:12,134
..I love you.
786
00:38:12,134 --> 00:38:14,819
ANTON LESSER:
And you think, "Oh, my God!"
787
00:38:14,819 --> 00:38:16,743
It's so brilliant.
788
00:38:16,743 --> 00:38:18,707
And then he says everything
789
00:38:18,707 --> 00:38:21,473
that you've wanted him to say
for all this time.
790
00:38:21,473 --> 00:38:25,120
I should have said something.
I should have said something.
791
00:38:26,683 --> 00:38:28,447
And now it's too late.
792
00:38:35,742 --> 00:38:36,944
No.
793
00:38:38,387 --> 00:38:39,870
It's not.
794
00:38:48,728 --> 00:38:52,456
And then...
It's just been in his head.
795
00:38:52,456 --> 00:38:54,620
I don't think you've ever
called me by my name.
796
00:38:54,620 --> 00:38:56,103
Have I not?
797
00:38:56,103 --> 00:38:57,666
No.
798
00:38:57,666 --> 00:38:59,270
Course.
799
00:39:00,953 --> 00:39:03,478
Mrs Strange.
800
00:39:06,364 --> 00:39:08,368
Well, you might give me a hug.
801
00:39:08,368 --> 00:39:10,813
Oh...
For luck.
802
00:39:12,577 --> 00:39:14,861
MAN: And cut there.
803
00:39:14,861 --> 00:39:18,829
But it's everything, as a viewer,
you've been wanting him to do,
804
00:39:18,829 --> 00:39:21,034
you know, all this time.
For goodness' sake,
805
00:39:21,034 --> 00:39:23,639
just go and grab her
and tell you love her!
806
00:39:23,639 --> 00:39:26,565
And it's-it's beautiful,
really beautiful.
807
00:39:26,565 --> 00:39:30,373
I suppose he's filled
with feelings of regret,
808
00:39:30,373 --> 00:39:34,341
that he didn't just do that
much earlier on in the series.
809
00:39:34,341 --> 00:39:36,545
But then, of course,
he doesn't realise
810
00:39:36,545 --> 00:39:39,191
we wouldn't have had
a really good series!
811
00:39:39,191 --> 00:39:40,634
HE LAUGHS
812
00:39:40,634 --> 00:39:44,041
It couldn't have ended early on
with Morse and Joan settling down,
813
00:39:44,041 --> 00:39:48,329
because we know
that Inspector Morse didn't do that.
814
00:39:48,329 --> 00:39:50,173
Never married?
815
00:39:50,173 --> 00:39:52,017
That's right.
816
00:39:52,017 --> 00:39:55,424
How is that? Do you mind?
817
00:39:55,424 --> 00:39:57,067
Not being married?
818
00:39:59,793 --> 00:40:03,200
Sometimes. Sometimes I mind.
819
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,246
SHAUN EVANS: It's interesting,
isn't it? Because...
820
00:40:06,246 --> 00:40:09,132
I've got a lot of thoughts about it,
really, a lot of feelings about it.
821
00:40:09,132 --> 00:40:11,216
It's good...
822
00:40:11,216 --> 00:40:14,543
for the character to be able
to get that off his chest.
823
00:40:14,543 --> 00:40:17,990
Even if it's only
in a fantasy sequence.
824
00:40:17,990 --> 00:40:22,238
But ultimately,
Endeavour doesn't get the girl.
825
00:40:22,238 --> 00:40:24,443
That was always a given.
826
00:40:24,443 --> 00:40:29,092
Thursday is never mentioned
in the Inspector Morse,
827
00:40:29,092 --> 00:40:30,976
either the books or the series.
828
00:40:30,976 --> 00:40:34,864
So something has to happen
with those two characters
829
00:40:34,864 --> 00:40:37,189
which means that
I never mention them again.
830
00:40:37,189 --> 00:40:39,473
That's where those two things
have to end.
831
00:40:39,473 --> 00:40:43,001
And that's where
we decided to end our story.
832
00:40:46,167 --> 00:40:47,730
We're here at Air Studios.
833
00:40:47,730 --> 00:40:50,015
We're recording the very last
episode of Endeavour.
834
00:40:50,015 --> 00:40:51,979
One of the great privileges
of this job
835
00:40:51,979 --> 00:40:54,905
is working with the composer,
Barrington, and then Matt.
836
00:40:54,905 --> 00:40:58,272
Recorded with a full orchestra,
which is not that common for TV.
837
00:40:58,272 --> 00:41:02,280
The London Metropolitan Orchestra
was specially formed in 1986
838
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,727
to record Barrington Pheloung's
original theme tune
839
00:41:05,727 --> 00:41:08,813
and the score for the music
for Inspector Morse.
840
00:41:08,813 --> 00:41:12,781
The baton passed to his collaborator
Matt Slater when he died.
841
00:41:12,781 --> 00:41:14,665
The journey that all of us
in this orchestra,
842
00:41:14,665 --> 00:41:16,909
and musicians that have
worked on this over the years,
843
00:41:16,909 --> 00:41:19,274
the thousands of hours of work
that have gone into it,
844
00:41:19,274 --> 00:41:21,479
with both Barry Pheloung's scores,
mine, it's...
845
00:41:21,479 --> 00:41:23,443
I don't think there's anything
been quite like it.
846
00:41:23,443 --> 00:41:25,487
And 36 years later,
847
00:41:25,487 --> 00:41:27,491
the orchestra
who have recorded the scores
848
00:41:27,491 --> 00:41:29,054
of all 102 episodes
849
00:41:29,054 --> 00:41:32,461
of Inspector Morse,
Lewis and Endeavour
850
00:41:32,461 --> 00:41:35,347
are gathering to record
for the very last time.
851
00:41:35,347 --> 00:41:37,792
Let's do this.
We're gonna have an amazing day.
852
00:41:37,792 --> 00:41:40,117
This is for everyone
and all the fans who are involved
853
00:41:40,117 --> 00:41:42,001
with Morse, Lewis and Endeavour.
854
00:41:42,001 --> 00:41:44,205
And this is the end,
so let's have fun.
855
00:41:44,205 --> 00:41:47,492
Matt was determined
that on the very last one,
856
00:41:47,492 --> 00:41:49,255
we would have this get-together.
857
00:41:49,255 --> 00:41:51,259
Here we go, two bars into one.
858
00:41:52,983 --> 00:41:56,470
ORCHESTRA PLAYS:
'Endeavour Theme'
859
00:42:25,409 --> 00:42:27,974
Standing on the podium,
and you've got everybody around you.
860
00:42:27,974 --> 00:42:30,178
You've got the orchestras,
you've got cast members.
861
00:42:30,178 --> 00:42:31,902
That moment,
of those final, final notes,
862
00:42:31,902 --> 00:42:33,706
I was shivers,
just even thinking about it.
863
00:42:33,706 --> 00:42:35,589
They mean so much to so many people.
864
00:42:35,589 --> 00:42:38,596
MUSIC CONTINUES
865
00:42:42,283 --> 00:42:44,568
FINAL NOTES FADE
866
00:42:44,568 --> 00:42:47,534
APPLAUSE
867
00:42:50,941 --> 00:42:54,909
Sitting there,
in the middle of the orchestra...
868
00:42:54,909 --> 00:42:57,113
I dunno. It's kind of a...
869
00:42:57,113 --> 00:43:00,360
wild feeling,
the music all around you.
870
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,125
Yeah, it's good. It's kind of
emotional for the guys as well.
871
00:43:03,125 --> 00:43:05,330
They've been doing this
far longer than I have.
872
00:43:05,330 --> 00:43:07,093
There's very few moments in life
that you get
873
00:43:07,093 --> 00:43:09,579
where you know instantly
that moment is incredibly special.
874
00:43:09,579 --> 00:43:11,623
Looking at everyone's faces,
tears in their eyes,
875
00:43:11,623 --> 00:43:14,308
the emotion of going through the
score and what it meant to them...
876
00:43:14,308 --> 00:43:16,473
I don't think I'll ever
get anything like that again.
877
00:43:16,473 --> 00:43:17,675
I'm so proud to be part of it.
878
00:43:17,675 --> 00:43:21,723
36 years after the first episode
of Morse was filmed,
879
00:43:21,723 --> 00:43:24,048
the final scene
for the complex detective
880
00:43:24,048 --> 00:43:26,252
who the public have loved
the world over
881
00:43:26,252 --> 00:43:29,780
required a very pertinent
piece of music.
882
00:43:29,780 --> 00:43:33,988
It's been the finale scene
of Endeavour ever,
883
00:43:33,988 --> 00:43:36,834
which I'm so glad I'm doing.
884
00:43:36,834 --> 00:43:38,678
Endeavour is in a choir,
885
00:43:38,678 --> 00:43:42,445
and they're singing
Faure's Requiem: In Paradisum.
886
00:43:42,445 --> 00:43:45,492
There was a lot of conversations
about...
887
00:43:45,492 --> 00:43:48,898
what music it would be,
whether there would be a choir.
888
00:43:48,898 --> 00:43:52,225
MAN: Turning over.
WOMAN: Rolling. Quiet, please.
889
00:43:53,548 --> 00:43:54,871
And playback.
890
00:44:02,526 --> 00:44:06,775
CHOIR SINGING
891
00:44:14,551 --> 00:44:16,755
That piece has been played,
I believe,
892
00:44:16,755 --> 00:44:18,599
in the very first episode
of Endeavour.
893
00:44:18,599 --> 00:44:20,884
I think that's when he arrived,
on the bus.
894
00:44:20,884 --> 00:44:23,208
We thought this would be
a fitting closure.
895
00:44:26,214 --> 00:44:29,822
FAURE'S REQUIEM
CONTINUES
896
00:44:35,313 --> 00:44:38,600
As we were up there
and singing it and filming,
897
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,764
the writer came in, Russ.
898
00:44:40,764 --> 00:44:42,367
And then the producer came in.
899
00:44:42,367 --> 00:44:45,213
And when they came in,
each of them filled up...
900
00:44:46,776 --> 00:44:49,101
..and got a little bit emotional.
901
00:44:50,303 --> 00:44:52,909
There was a feeling of...
902
00:44:52,909 --> 00:44:58,440
all of the experiences that
we've had perhaps coming to an end.
903
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,123
So it was a release.
904
00:45:06,015 --> 00:45:08,580
Is that it?
That's it.
905
00:45:15,474 --> 00:45:17,960
It's spine-tingling,
and I hope the audiences
906
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,525
will have been moved by it
and understand
907
00:45:20,525 --> 00:45:22,609
that it's just that little comma,
908
00:45:22,609 --> 00:45:26,777
before we hit John Thaw
as Inspector Morse in the '80s.
