    Konterr Brilliant and touching
    CommentsXp Best movie ever!
    InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
    Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
    NikkoFranco If you're a Morse fan, this is a must watch for you. Elegantly shot and the 60s recreated in Oxfordshire, never have I seen coppers ( separate from their competence) looking so well put together. The actors have also chemistry, whether it's the superiors-reportee-trainee or father-daughter, lover-colleague's daughter entanglement, this series is just beautiful. Also it showed the evolving morals in those times and that there is an impeccable manner of the young Morse. It is also of note that each episode is not dragging, and the reveal is only until each ending. No spoiler, no predictability, just a good pace of timing and evolving characters in a picturesque backdrop. Definitely a favorite .
    medea05 Re. Season 5 episode 3 - PassengerSeries 5 is actually known to take place in 1968 - in fact, the radio announcer clearly said that Robert Kennedy had been shot, which took place in June 1968. Now, the whole 'blue coloured diesel engines' business - whether that's wrong, I have no idea!I'm enjoying this season quite a lot - Shaun Evans really works as young Morse.
    davidbjones I have been an avid reader of British Crime fiction for most of my adult life, but my love of British Crime Drama came from watching John Thaw and Dennis Waterman in the 'Sweeney' while I was in my teens. We didn't always get UK TV shows in a timely manner in Australia in the 1980's, but I seem to remember the first Inspector Morse telemovie within a a year of the UK. While I was probably drawn to it because I remembered John Thaw from the 'Sweeney', I had grown up and I enjoyed the more cerebral story lines and it quickly became my favourite television program that was eagerly anticipated each year. I was also lucky enough to be able to visit Oxford several times before the series ended.In 2007, I was living in the UK when the first series of Lewis was repeated following quickly after the first run of the second series.I also enjoyed Lewis, because of complexity of the characters (such as Lewis, Hathaway, Dr Hobson and Chief Superintendent Innocent) and their relationships.So it was some surprise that I unexpectedly discovered Endeavour by pure accident less than a week ago on Free to Air in Australia. The first episode I saw was Episode 1 of Season 3 and I was spellbound by the characters and their development through this pivotal and complex episode. I quickly felt that approach to the development and personal growth of Morse is faithful to the original and the other key cast members help to demonstrate how Morse grow emotionally and intellectually during these formative years.In the following days, I have now been able to see episodes 3 and 4 of Season 2 and now also episode 2 of Season 3. I have really enjoyed the roles played by many of the main cast, but particularly Roger Allam and Anton Lesser. As an avid listener of BBC Radio Comedies and Dramas, Anton Lesser and Roger Allam were familiar to me, but I do not remember ever having seen each in a major TV drama series.I am now hooked and cannot wait to be able to see all the back episodes and the future ones. I also really enjoy the music, especially keeping the ending theme the same!.
    starkeyjk As a stand alone series it is very good. But for us to believe this young self effacing polite pleasant detective will evolve into the irascible curmudgeon portrayed by John Thaw is a very illogical transition. The young Morse could hardly be capable of more warmth and empathy. The Morse of middle age seems to barely tolerate anyone or anything outside of a a cold pint and a German Opera!
