    All your Morse, Lewis and Endeavour needs here.

    In answer to the question about Colin Dexter appearances, yes he appears in all the Endeavour episodes but of course since his death it is some representation of the man. About the Led Zeppelin track, it was played live in June 1969 so it fits the timeline for the episode.

    Bullocks!

    The slightly timing attribution to song release month or type of medical supplies. What's wrong with you people???!!

    It's absolutely bloody awesome TV and I am very much annoyed how short this season is. Please, Please, Please! Make bloody 6 or more episodes per series.

    What a great episode

    The first show of season 6 shows several of the characters moving on -- different jobs, different locations, different looks. Two things distinguish this episode -- First, showing just how heavily incidents in their lives, both work and personal, weigh on Morse and Thursday, and second, watching the brilliance of Morse solving cases almost in his spare time against the backdrop of the designated police barely making any progress at all. "Pylon" is everything that can be great and terrible about being a policeman.

    This is very superior television.

    Loved Morse, Love Endeavour even more.

    This is the best episode so far. Like the others, I would like more Endeavour. This one has the most mysteries inside the story that I have to watch it at least 3 times to understand it all and it doesn't get boring. It is so interesting to see how the British police worked in those days and the great acting as well. Keep them coming, I beg of you!

    Remarkable Episode

    Endeavour Morse is now a police officer, having had his detective status taken from him. Thursday is angry with him but doesn't understand what went down. In this episode, a young girl is found dead in a field. The new chief, who is a shortsighted jerk, has his mind made up. There is a young man who has drug problems and was seen lurking about, therefore he is the only suspect. Morse sees through his pomposity, but has little power at first. There is going to be an interesting dynamic developing. Also, Thursday is conflicted because of a harsh decision he made years before. I wish there were more episode in this season.

    • Trivia
      When Thursday explains to Max that Ronnie Box has " ... come from robbery", Max replies, "Not the Lucie Clayton?". Max is alluding to the Lucie Clayton Charm Academy, is a finishing school for girls in the period of time in which the show was set.
    • Goofs
      Car registration is HZ which is from Northern Ireland, very odd for a Thames Valley police car.

      'Endeavour' fans have pointed out that the registration number of the panda car driven by the opera-loving policeman had a secret relevance: 264Hz is the frequency of middle C (and yes, HZ does also signify a 1964 Tyrone registration).

    FAQ1

    • Couldn't understand if Stanley's (the drug addict suspected of killing the girl) father was, in fact, guilty of killing his wife, Stanley's mother. And who placed the bloody murder weapon in the church to frame him?
