Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis will be the first season of "Endeavour" in which the character of Joan Thursday makes no appearances. (This is because Sara Vickers, who plays her, had had a baby shortly before shooting began).
- GoofsWhen the old guy is found dead in his narrowboat, and the murdered woman's purse recovered from it, this is reported to have been at Gas Street Basin. This is right in the heart of the City of Birmingham, surrounded by tall buildings. But it is depicted as being in a totally rural setting.

Featured review
A story about love. Loved it.
A new decade, familiar crime. It's 1970 and the body of barmaid Molly Andrews is discovered strangled after the New year's celebrations.
Slightly more atmospheric than previous episodes, this had a very different feel, one I particularly liked. A cracking episode, an interesting dynamic, a case where Morse is missing at the very start, and arrives late to the party.
Glorious production values as we've come to expect over the years, the beginning in particular, fabulous, very cinematic, finally we see Morse lost in the magic of an opera. I am delighted to see that his moustache has gone, Evans outstanding as always. I thought Richard Harrington was also great as Dr Ferman.
The recent news that Series eight would be the last was devastating, but like all good things, it must end, for now though, he's back, and if this is anything to go by, we're in for another great Series. 9/10
