Endeavour: Scherzo (2021 Ian Aryeh, writer Russell Lewis)

Really bizarre story of murders linked by one thing - stopped clocks and watches. (Though the sub-story, a young girl being led into sex films, is totally credible.) Morse is a mess - his step-mother has foisted herself on him and at one point he's so drunk he steps into the path of a taxi. Mini-cabs are at the heart of the story after one of the drivers has been murdered.

We learn that Bright is a decent artist and accompany Strange to a Masons' ball with Joan for company. And, in conclusion, Thursday observes that Morse has changed - he's no longer trying to find the best, but now 'sees things as they are'. (Though he's very good with the boy, see below.)

With Amy Griffiths, Andrea Lowe, Lucy Aarden, Nicholas Shaw, Joe Gallina.

Lovely moment between Bright and his art class model at the end.
