Storyline

- TriviaCharacters in this episode mirror Henry II of England and his entourage as seen in The Lion in Winter (1968):
- Henry II Plantagenet = Henry Broom (the Plantagenets had a broom in their family crest; the broom plant is "planta genista")
- Eleanor of Aquitaine = Nora Broom (estranged wife)
- "young Henry" (died approx. age 28) = Harry Broom, deceased
- Richard = Richard Broom
- John = Johnny Broom
- Alais, Henry's mistress = Alice Vexin, Henry's assistant (Alais brought Henry II the title to the Vexin)
- GoofsWhen the Crown Prince arrives at the Broom's estate in his huge limousine, he is actually riding in the cramped folding jump seat. It makes the scene of him exiting the car a bit more dignified, but it is hard to believe anyone of his status with a car like that would travel about in the most uncomfortable seat available.
- Quotes
[Alice brings in a vase of flowers]
Johnny Broom: Morning, Alice. How lovely you look today.
Alice Vexin: Thank you, Johnny.
Henry Broom: For Her Highness?
Alice Vexin: For your wife.
Henry Broom: Nora can't abide cut flowers.
Johnny Broom: Or they her. Blooms wither at her passing. They say a scorpion stung her once... and died.

Bulldogs Never Give Up
Endeavour Morse is a modern Sherlock. In this one, he again bucks the administration to sort out a current murder and one that took place twelve years in the past. They have a connection to a family group who produce armaments, including a surface to air missile that will be worth a fortune. The problem is their dysfunction. As awful as they are, they present an easy target early on. Morse has the doggedness to search the past, even though his incompetent chief inspector wants to wrap cases up. Obviously he is under stress, but his world would be a lot easier if he put trust in his people. I'm new to this series, but I can't imagine they can sustain this guy through five seasons.
