Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the Thursday family is watching tv at the beginning, they are passing around a box of Mackintosh's Good News chocolates; Fred asks "who's had the Savoy truffle?" The famous package of chocolates was the one whose inventory is listed in the famous George Harrison song "Savoy Truffle."
- GoofsWhen Dr. De Bryn is describing the heavy drinking of the murder victim, he refers to him sarcastically as "the last of the red-hot livers", a pun on the title of Neil Simon's well-known play, "The Last Of The Red-Hot Lovers". However, this episode of "Endeavour" is set in mid-1967, and Simon's play did not open on Broadway until December of 1969.
- Quotes
DI Fred Thursday: Did you see the way the girl flinched when he put his hands on her?
DC Endeavour Morse: Yes, I saw.
DI Fred Thursday: Pot and free love, I suppose. Free love. In my experience, that's the most expensive kind there is.
- Crazy creditsDuring the closing credits, when read in order, the red letters spell out "bloater paste," which is the sandwich spread Mrs. Thursday put on her husband's sandwich. Luckily he didn't eat it, because it was probably tainted. According to cooksinfo.com, "Bloater Paste is a fish spread made from salted, smoked herrings called "bloaters", which are smoked whole with the insides still in them. A bloater has a more gamey flavour than cleaned herrings. It is sold in small jars."

Featured review
Good quality mystery.
A young woman 'Lorraine Figis' departs Richardson's Supermarket, collapses outside and later dies, soon a young artist 'Simon Hallward' dies at home, when a cigarette catches in his studio and causes an explosion. A lead takes Morse and Thursday to a commune, House Beautiful, where Simon had spent six months. The team are joined by beautiful WPC Shirley Trewlove, who has a definite effect.
For the main I enjoyed this one very much, the 60's vibe was excellently captured as always, the Supermarket itself looked great, just as I imagined. I love the house doubling up as the Richardson's property, definitely used in other dramas before, it's stunning.
I'm a huge fan of Genevieve O'Reilly, she's a brilliant actress, loved the scenes between her and Shaun. My favourite performance too from Jack Laskey as DS Jakes, he really is a brilliant actor, it's no wonder his career is on an upward trajectory, a real shame this was his last one.
A few scenes were reminiscent of a Taggart episode from a few years ago, could be Dead Giveaway, not sure. The scenes with the baby food etc.
Almost small scale for an episode of Endeavour, especially in comparison to the opener. The usual mix of wonderful production values, great script, first class acting makes for an excellent ninety minutes. 8/10
