In the second episode there was a poster on the wall of the cinema of 'Coming Attractions' with CD's photo, and in the railway one there was a poster on the wall of the station when Morse was buying his ticket, with 'Employee of the Month Signalman Dexter' and his photo.

Representing real people, Charity Mudford was obviously Unity Mitford. But she looked very like Diana Mosley nee Mitford. |

Yes, she did. I'd forgotten about Diana Mosley – what a dreadful woman she was.

There was a reference to a Sergeant Windsor Davies, IIRC.

I didn't like this week's. It didn't feel real. I know there were a lot of spies in Oxford but... I don't know. It seemed really far-fetched.

I was puzzled by the choice of Museum Tube Station as a meeting place. It wasn't operational in 1968 was it? And it was by the British Museum, not the Albert Hall. I didn't particularly enjoy this one either. I mean it was still better than a lot of TV but not vintage Endeavour!

It's all gone a bit weird, hasn't it?

Certainly an off-the-wall one this week! I enjoyed it, specially when it came full circle and the newsagents turned out to be the final link in the spy ring.
College porter called Mullion in homage to Scullion from Porterhouse Blue possibly?!
I hope next week isn't going to prove to be Thursday's swansong.

I’m not sure I’d want to go on watching if Fred goes ☹️

I hope next week isn't going to prove to be Thursday's swansong. So do I. He's one of the main ones I watch for. |

I knew they must have wanted to give a nod to all the spy stuff going on around Oxford in those days, but seriously I think Morse would have done what most policemen did, which was back off and not get involved. I don't think he would have been breaking into factories and chasing down spies. He might have had his suspicions but once warned off I am sure he did just that.
I enjoyed it and felt it had a sense of Foyle's War about it, in the way that he did bend rules and get pedantic about finding the truth and coming up against a wall of MI5/6/7/2/38, but still I felt that he would not have got as involved as he did and any information he came across accidentally he would have passed to his superiors straight away or kept quiet.

Definitely Foyles's War about it with the same actress playing similar roles!

Have I understood it correctly, that Morse’s French girlfriend has gone off to photograph the Vietnam war, or has she just left him for good?
Those of you who’ve read the later Morse books might have some info about why he never settled down properly in the next 20 years or so?
