Rise (Sandra Goldbacher, Me Without You). reclusive Morse gets sucked into the world of the rich and playful. Bixby (name perhaps based on Bill Bixby and The Magician), David Oakes, Meghan Treadway.
Arcadia (Bryn Higgins). Introducing Trewlove Dakota Blue Richards (another Skins alumni) - Q thinks she should have her own spin-off show at Scotland Yard. Instead she's in some India set thing called Beecham House.
Prey (Lawrence Gough). " A tiger - in Africa?" The Jaws episode, with at least three clear references - Bright's India tiger story is like the SS Indianapolis. The one with Stefanie Martini.
Endeavour is such a believable character and Shaun plays him so well - he's the most human detective on TV. Here's such an example - he's protecting a woman and her baby from the tiger (gorgeous thing) and when it's over he shakes and collapses... It's like when Thursday's shot - he's scared and outraged... you feel it coming off the screen.
Of course it's also the double act(s) that make it.
Somewhere around here Dr DeBryn says "Last of the red hot livers".
Coda (Oliver Blackburn - why so many different directors?) The bank episode. Thursday (having just ejected his bullet and had his gun returned) is nice to Trewlove after she experiences her first fatal shooting. He challenges Morse suggesting it might get too 'salty' for him - Strange thinks he may not have the 'sand'. Then there's a literal enactment of 'She's Leaving Home'.
The obviously gay don says something like "He eats oysters, unfortunately".
They're all really well lit - this one (the only one) from Baz Irwin, who worked with Seamus McGarvey...
Win's back - "The longest six days of my life".
Morse - "And on the seventh, he rested."
DeBryn: "He'd eaten saveloy and chips."
Morse: "Are you sure?"
DeBryn: "Alimentary, my dear Watson."
