Storyline

- TriviaWhen Morse follows the franked letter to a law office, the plaque outside the door reads "Vholes, Jaggers, Lightwood, Solicitors". All three are lawyers who play prominent roles in Charles Dickens novels. Vholes in "Bleak House", Jaggers in "Great Expectations" and Lightwood in "Our Mutual Friend".
- GoofsThe body of Eric Patterson is found on a railway line. Railways are the jurisdiction of the British Transport Police; they would have investigated, not the Oxford local force.
- Quotes
DI Fred Thursday: Funny, it will be twenty-eight years tomorrow since I joined the job. Twenty-eight years to the day, except in the war, of course. All this with the merger put me out of sorts, got me thinking less ahead than behind. I forgot for a minute, it's not about me. It's about them who turn to us for help in time of need: weak, defenseless, old young - especially the young.
DC Endeavour Morse: Does that mean you've reconsidered?
DI Fred Thursday: Win would never put up with me under her feet all day. Nah, I was born a copper... and I'll die one I expect.
DC Endeavour Morse: Ensanguining the skies, how heavily it dies, into the West, away, past touch and sight and sound, not further to be found. How hopeless underground, falls the remorseful day.
DI Fred Thursday: You know there's no cavalry coming, still time. I won't think the less.
DC Endeavour Morse: [Shakes head]
DI Fred Thursday: Till the end then?
DC Endeavour Morse: Till the end.

Do I discern a hint of office politics within Endeavour Morse's police station, in the conversation between the Chief Superintendent Reginald Bright, and Detective Inspector Fred Thursday, concerning possible station mergers? The whiff I discerned was regarding Thursday mentioning, "ground work done by Morse" to which Bright quickly corrected him that it was, actually "based on notes made by him" coupled with something that could result in promotion for someone.
Can this really be the end of the line for a "good old copper" like DI Fred Thursday, what would he do to save his job if push actually came to shove, what options if any would circumstances provide? And where might this leave Di Thursday's 'Bagman' DC Morse, could he conceivably try a totally new working endeavour, with his new girlfriend nurse Monica as "a couple"?
This programme can normally be relied on for keeping to its period but something that jarred for me in this episode is of Bright mentioning the word "crèche" in relation to a young runaway brought into the station, but that term didn't come into parlance until much later.
