Endeavour: Terminus (2021 Kate Saxon)

So enjoyed this, what a joy to see a brand new Endeavour film. This has a pall of doom hanging over it, with Thursday's son Sam missing in Northern Ireland, and sinister events in a haunted hotel. Where's Marple? But also Lewis is having so much fun again. Name 'Loomis' obviously familiar from Psycho but also (I am reminded) Halloween. Indeed, Q suggested they should have delayed transmission a month - very good idea. Also getting echoes of The Shining and even The Old Dark House.

Really great writing, nice to see Caroline O'Neill and Sara Vickers having great scenes. With Adam Ewan, Marion Bailey, Anna Burnett (with the white 'go go' boots), Martin Hutson, Ben Bishop, Estella Daniels, Jennifer Kirby.

You just knew Fred would come to the rescue.

Well, that was the 33rd film in the series, same as Morse and Lewis. 'Terminus'. Is that the end?

"It's beginning to thaw..." Yes, yes. Also loved "I'd tear the world down to get him back."
