Lots of people end up being interrogated in this episode about secrets they’d rather not share. As ever, Morse and his colleagues will have to get to the bottom of a rapidly thickening plot.

It’s the first in a succession of mysterious deaths that will lead to a seamier side of Oxford life, far removed from the Carry Onfrolics of the naturists’ haven cheerily run by Major Jones (Andrew Woodall). An ex-wife and alienated little boy, a new missus who’s the last in a long line of extra-marital conquests, and colleagues who remember his gambling streak: this bloke really isn’t Morse’s cup of tea. Morse spies a finished crossword by the victim’s body and feels a brief tug of kinship. Nice to hear somebody’s fun remains unspoilt, at any rate.)Įndeavour: Why Isn’t Fred Thursday in Morse’s Later Life? By Louisa Mellor (Don’t worry, it’s only The Eagle’s finest pie. DeBryn is, for once, holding rather a late post mortem he has an altogether more pleasant dissection to enjoy first over lunch. The dead man, shot through the head by someone in the back seat of his cab, is found in the abandoned vehicle down a country lane nearby. It’s Strange, inevitably, who’s confronted with sights a little more…let’s say, natural, than he’s used to when he arrives at a nudist hotel to interview its guests about the murder of a taxi driver. You will, however, probably raise an eyebrow on learning that this week’s Endeavour, like The White Lotus, involves quite a bit of nudity. You won’t be surprised to hear that both shows feature a murder.

#Inspector lewis season 8 episode 2 professional#
Playful music (composer Matthew Slater nails this episode’s thematic, as well as visual, light and shade, in concert with director Ian Aryeh) acid colours more at home under a tropical sun than beneath dreaming spires a hotel manager whose professional smile might mask private troubles. Yet ‘Scherzo’ begins fittingly enough for a comic opera, with scenes that are more reminiscent of HBO’s recent drama The White Lotus. ‘Light’ and ‘playful’ aren’t words we’d always associate with Endeavour, especially in the current series, with its bitter echoes of the grief and disillusionment left by a death in Venice. Bit of fun on writer Russell Lewis’s part, surely? Well, yes and no. A scherzo’s a movement in a symphony or sonata distinguished by its light, playful tone. Warning: this Endeavour review contains spoilers.įor those of us who don’t share Morse’s musical bent – and we’ll be due a snooty glare from our man Endeavour, as his wicked(ish) stepmother Gwen (Lynda Rooke) would no doubt be the first to warn us – a word on that episode title is needed.
