Trivia
In this very last episode of "Endeavour", there is finally the "easter egg" reference long-term devotees have been waiting for - Morse mentions that the dead man Andrew Lewis has a relative who is a police cadet and whose name is "Robert Lewis". Yes, the very man who would become Sergeant Lewis, the future Morse's faithful sidekick as played by Kevin Whately in so many episodes of "Inspector Morse".

Quotes
DCI Fred Thursday: The soul of discretion, is Morse - if a secret wants keeping, he'll take it to the grave.

For once a final episode that did not disappoint.

With so many other series the final episodes leave issues unresolved, perhaps so that sequels can be made. This final episode of Endeavour was very much the exception. Full of nice touches including the return of characters from previous episodes, a credible explanation for the disappearance of the boy from Blenheim Vale and sardonic humour. Add to that fine camerawork and lighting, high production values, some terrific acting and a music score well matched to the mood of the piece then the high praise that this episode had received seems fully justified.

Yes, there is the ambiguity of the gunshot in the churchyard but that only added to the drama, for me at least. Russell Davies has shown enormous skill in writing every single episode and bearing the predecessor series in mind.

Was it him to whom Morse gave his score at the end of the concert I wonder and was this also a nod to Colin Dexter's appearances in Morse? Will we ever know.
