>>Anton Lesser but what a great character.
Yes and a very touching end scene for him.
Roger Allam as Fred Thursday and his half finished sentences was also a winner for me.
In fact, I think all of the main cast were brilliantly selected.
And as a series ending episode it did very well including a nod to the young cadet police officer Lewis in the north and the two jags passing, the choir at the end.
Not many series have the luxury of wrapping things up so well. The last long series that I reall having watched that made a real effort to bring stories and character conclusions was the ST DS9 ending and that with over 20 years ago.
I would happily pay to see more episodes of Endeavour or a re-imagined Morse with new stories, perhaps set in the period between the end of Endeavour and Lewis joining John Thaw's Morse?
AIUI Colin Dexter has banned any other actor from playing Morse, so if there are to be more episodes, Shaun Evans must play him.
