There will always be the naysayers who have an image of the characters so firmly fixed in their imaginations that they cannot fathom another character in that place and so while I am not all that keen on Malahide as an actor he seems to fit the bill adequately for me. Simons of course is a pair of capable hands and Lang presents a stylish but independent personality close enough to the Marsh series. The production quality is what impressed me the most and the easy pacing and variety of angles and shots with excellent lighting ... far away from the 40w bulb school of 'dark' filming that I find so irritating of late.

A pleasant series that I look forward to enjoying this winter.

This episode was full of the olde fashioned fun directly inherited from an Agatha Christie isolated hotel in winter routine. The internal demons of Endeavour are pushed a bit and Thursday's home front crumble (via the Mum who obviously is amidst her own menopausal break down) add to the pressure.

Even so...despite the increased body count, the final scene's 'explanation' involves so many participants and their revengeful backstory it's almost laughable and truly rather silly.

Yet I enjoyed this episode on a snowbound afternoon, good for nothing but viewing this while my companion knitted away.
