Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Dr. Cronyn is describing high-functioning serial killers to the police, he refers to several American cases - "Starkweather, the Fairvale murders, and recently DeSalvo". Charles Starkweather and Albert DeSalvo were real serial killers, the latter apprehended only the year before the one in which this story takes place; however, "the Fairvale murders" is a reference to a famous film - Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho". Fairvale is the small town outside which the Bates Motel stands in that movie.
- GoofsAs Morse and his colleagues are looking at the sheet music of Rimsky-Korsakov's opera as part of their investigation, the name of the composer in Russian is misspelled on the cover page. The title of the opera is misleading as well: it reads Snezhnaya Koroleva, which means Snow Queen in Russian. However, the real title of the opera is Snegurochka - Vesennyaya Skazka. Snegurochka, correctly referred to as such by Morse, is a Russian fairy tale character that has nothing whatsoever in common with a Snow Queen (no such character exists in Russian folklore, by the way). The opera's title is habitually translated into English as The Snow Maiden - A Spring Fairy Tale.
- Quotes
DI Fred Thursday: [to Morse] One day I'll send you out for a routine inquiry and it'll turn out to be just that. But I won't hold my breath. You'd find something suspicious in a saint's sock drawer.

Endeavour...A Fab' and Entertaining Series
Endeavours episode 2 of the 1st series is one of Intrigue and Suspence, keeping us all guessing & on the edge of our seats. Saune Evans character of Morse is Spot-On.! and well cast!!! He brings life, intelligence and an intellect that surpasses his colleagues; although the Character of Detective Inspector Fred Thursday (Played by Roger Allam) is as Valuable in his experience and knowledge; due to the difference of age between them, and being an older serving officer in Oxford, comes across as a father figure for Morses younger persona. They form a great partnership. Also, this series (as in 'Inspector Morse') gives the viewer a wonderful insight into Oxford University Life and landscape. How Beautiful it is..😊
Thumbs Up for this Series & May It Continue..!!!
