Endeavour (2011, released 2012 Colm McCarthy)

Written - as they all were - by Russell Lewis with Morse creator Colin Dexter's approval. Shaun Evans is perfect as the slightly puzzled and rumpled cerebral detective who - on the point of resigning - finds his mentor DI Thursday, also perfectly played by Roger Allam.

It's one of the best things on television, and the very next day I found myself sitting outside an Oxfordshire pub drinking a pint of bitter.

Introducing only a couple of series regulars (Thursday's family as yet unseen) James Bradshaw as the pathologist and Abigail Thaw as a journalist.
