Did anyone watch Endeavour? What was the thing with the ring at the end?

Thanks

yegodsandlittlefishes · 07/04/2014 20:25

Just catching up and seen the first of secod series.

Love the ending:

'His sort's nowt a pound and shit's tuppence, as my grandmother used to say.' Grin

Pretty certain the grandaughter was not the victim's niece,she looked nothing like her.

CarolineKnappShappey · 07/04/2014 22:24

Do you remember the great Morse episode about the Masons and the Magic Flute? It were great.

Gatekeeper · 08/04/2014 08:50

is that the one where they were trying to frame him Caroline?

Lambstales · 08/04/2014 17:18

Was the granddaughter the Anglo-Indian boarding girl? If she was, would she have been a half sibling to Mr Black. Just confused Confused

LIZS · 08/04/2014 18:25

wouldn't she have been in her 20's though ?

LeBearPolar · 08/04/2014 18:29

I have only seen some of the original Morse (although have read all the books) but love Endeavour. I think Shaun Evans is a fantastic actor and have some kind of weird thing for Roger Allam (not fancying him - think I want him to be my dad Confused)

fideline · 08/04/2014 18:51

Partial It is a bit of a sport in the industry, i'm afraid.

nachohousekeeper · 08/04/2014 18:58

Only just seen this thread. We are loving Endeavour in our house. He's a great actor. DD has added him to her long list of crushesGrin.

DH and I are planning on re watching Morse now that DD is a bit older as we think she will appreciate them. She loves crimey stuff.

PartialFancy · 08/04/2014 18:59

Oh I love a judicious allusion, fid.Grin

They were quite tightly packed in this one though - see how many we can get away with.

I've just watched again and realised the signpost to Slepe also pointed to Midwich (Cuckoos). The Americans' granddaughter was some random, though; I did want her to be the genealogist's niece.

Gatekeeper · 08/04/2014 19:15

I have a bit of a 'thing' for Roger Allam as well ! I think it is his voice.

nachohousekeeper · 08/04/2014 19:38

For those of you that have a thing for Roger - have you listened to Cabin Pressure? He is very funny.

phantomnamechanger · 08/04/2014 19:55

we're loving the new series of endeavour - did you spot the pervy don last week who Morse meets later in his career - the father who was making his teen DD do cartwheels and flash her knickers was the paedo played by I think geoffrey palmer in "the infernal serpent"

I love the clever little references - there was one point where he learns that suicides usually remove their specs, which comes up in an episode of morse where someone is thrown off a church tower still wearing their specs, so he knows its not suicide.

phantomnamechanger · 08/04/2014 19:57

we're also watching a box set of ashes to ashes which is confusing as "Thursday" appears as a very similar looking cop in that, Gene Hunts bad boy boss, who is into the masons big time.

fideline · 08/04/2014 20:08

They were quite tightly packed in this one though - see how many we can get away with.

Over-egging? A creator/writer wouldn't do it. I wonder what Colin Dexter makes of it.

I'm going to have to have a nosey to see who's responsible.

fideline · 08/04/2014 20:09

For those of you that have a thing for Roger - have you listened to Cabin Pressure? He is very funny.

Cumberbatch too. Very funny.

LeBearPolar · 08/04/2014 21:40

DS and I can recite whole sections of Cabin Pressure off by heart. We love it - especially the bit where Carolyn describes Douglas (Allam) as having a voice like Stephen Fry's favourite uncle.

In fact I managed to tempt DS to see The Tempest last year because it had Roger Allam playing Propsero and Colin Morgan (Merlin) playing Ariel Grin

Tigresswoods · 08/04/2014 22:06

Loving all these insights into Morse. I remember my Mum watching it but I was too young to get it all.

Scuttles off to look on Amazon for a Morse boxset.

CarolineKnappShappey · 08/04/2014 23:51

The Masonic Morse one was when someone tried to make him paranoid and blame the Masons. Morse was singing in the Magic Flute which is pretty Zmasonic and they scratched the Jag with symbols. All red herrings.

Great spot about the paedo don. Did not get that at all. Yuck.

And you will see from my name that I partial to a bit of Cabin Pressure. The Lemon is in play...

LeBearPolar · 09/04/2014 08:56

Snap about the name, CarolineKnappShappey!

How do you get away from Le Bear Polar with just an egg whisk and a pogo stick?! Grin

diddl · 09/04/2014 17:55

Have just watched ep2 & am confused!

Was the girl playing the piano at the beginning Charlotte?

Why wasn't she killed?

Why was she sent away if she'd always lived at home?-to perpetuate the idea that she was the killer?

How did the son get away with it?

eddiemairswife · 09/04/2014 18:07

Did anyone spot Colin Dexter in the museum? He is in next week's as well according to Radio Times.

Clawdy · 09/04/2014 18:11

I imagine Charlotte wasn't killed because she was kept inside a lot as the father was ashamed of her disability. She was sent away because once her mother was dead,her father could dispose of her more easily.

diddl · 09/04/2014 18:15

I did wonder if Charlotte spent most of her time in the attic!

I suppose her mother might have been the driving force in keeping her at home.
I thought that she was sent away after the killings though.

I just don't get how at the end the son & father made up.

He slaughtered nearly the whole family!
