Masterpiece Mystery Endeavour, Series 3
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Season 3 of “Endeavour” originally aired in January 2016. This is the “Full UK-Length Edition” and you get almost 6 hours of atmospheric mysteries. The BluRay and DVD sets have English subtitles available on the episodes as well as the Special Features.
….A. “Making of Endeavour” (9 minutes) Commentators include Shaun Evans (plays Morse), Sean Rigby (plays DS Strange), Roger Allam (plays DI Thursday), Anton Lesser (plays CS Bright), Tom Mullens (producer), Charlotte Mitchell (costume designer), Irene Napier (makeup designer), Alex Cost (location manager), Dakota Blue Richards (plays WPC Trewlove) and Anna Pritchard (production designer). Mitchell talks about the character Morse: “He loves his suit as a barrier. He has it done up. He puts his hands in his pockets. It’s his structure, to give him some distance from who he might be talking to.”
….B. “Interview with Shaun Evans” (5 minutes) I think Evans excellently foreshadows the grumpy Morse in the original series. Evans says Morse has “an oversensitivity, I think, to the darkness … in human nature, and also not being able to let go.” Not to mention the legendary “being very susceptible to a damsel in distress.”
….C. “Interview with Roger Allam” (5 minutes) Allam on his character in Season 3: “There’s a sort of death sentence hanging over him.”
Author Colin Dexter, who created Inspector Morse, had cameos in all but 3 of the 33 episodes of the original “Inspector Morse” series: Inspector Morse Collection Complete Series 36 DVDs 3600 Minutes + 3 Bonus Specials
He continues this tradition in the 12 “Endeavour” episodes to date, including the Pilot. If you haven’t noticed Dexter’s fleeting moments, there’s a blog called morseandlewisandendeavour.wordpress(dot)com where he’s put together a video showing each appearance. The sighting in the last episode, “Coda”, is admittedly iffy, as it’s from behind.
