(Shaun Evans)
Inspector Endeavour Morse is a character in Endeavour: Young Morse, a television
drama by British author Colin Dexter which starred John Thaw.
Endeavour is a prequel to this production with English
actor Shaun Evans being cast as a young Morse in his university days and early
career. The Oxford detective legacy continues as the young man’s character
becomes shaped by the cruel cases he must solve.
First there was Inspector Morse, then Lewis, now Endeavour
to carry on the tradition of critical acclaim. Oxford in the mid 1960s is a
world caught between the tradition and institutions of the past and the freedom
and decadence of the new social revolution.
Young Endeavour Morse has changed since his father’s death
and he returns to Oxford a damaged man with everything to prove. Endeavour investigates the fatal fall of
an unknown man during a beauty pageant but, as the inquiry delves into the dark
dealings of local politics, the evidence gets more complicated and truth
becomes lost.
Endeavour must work through his personal grief and pain to
discover the victim’s identity and solve the evil crime at the heart of a
corrupt society.
Endeavour: Young Morse
is screened tonight (December 22) at 21h00 on BBC Entertainment (channel 120 on
DStv)
