Hello Morsonians, Endeavourists and Lewislings and welcome to my weekly update to all that has happened in the Morse universe this past week. So, without further ado let us begin.

Laurence Fox on Twitter and Instagram.

The ITV show will start 10pm on Monday 27th February – a time that means the news is being shunted to a controversial 10:30pm slot. The show will be on at the same time every weekday for eight weeks.

If you are wondering where you have seen the actor in the foreground before, it was in the Lewis episode, Music to Die For. He played Richard Helm.

Well that is all for today due to time restraints. I hope you enjoyed the post. Take care.

Up until a few years ago I was my mum's full time carer. She died in, 2020, of Covid. At the moment I am attempting to write a novel.

  1. When can we see Endeavor in the US?

    1. Well, there is nothing mentioned on the PBS site for Endeavour in the months of February, March, April or May. So, one can assume it will be June or July as it has been previous years.

  2. Just great, as usual! It seems John Thaw never changed in his adult years. When do you think his hair turned gray/white? Sometime between 1969 and 1983.
