- QuizCharacters in this episode mirror Henry II of England and his entourage as seen in Il leone d'inverno (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)
- BlooperWhen 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.
- Citazioni
[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.

Recensione in evidenza
Morse at the munitions plant
Having recently been, and just finished being, on a roll reviewing all the episodes of 'Lewis', which generally was very enjoyable before having some disappointments later on, it occurred to me to do the same for 'Inspector Morse's' (one of my favourites for over a decade, and all the episodes were also reviewed in my first year on IMDb eight years ago) prequel series 'Endeavour'.
As said in my review for the entire show two years ago, 'Endeavour' is not just a more than worthy prequel series to one of my favourite detective dramas of all time and goes very well with it, but it is a great series on its own as well. It maintains everything that makes 'Inspector Morse' so good, while also containing enough to make it its own, and in my mind 'Inspector Morse', 'Lewis' and 'Endeavour' go perfectly well together.
Was very impressed by the pilot episode, even with a very understandable slight finding-its-feet feel (that is true of a lot of shows, exceptions like 'Morse' itself, 'A Touch of Frost' and 'Midsomer Murders', which started off great and were remarkably well established, are fairly few. The first episode of the first season "Girl" was a very welcome return, a fine episode in its own right and was even better. Morse's personality is more established with more obvious recognisable personality quirks and generally things feel more settled.
It must have been very difficult following on, and living up to, from one of the show's best episodes "Fugue", but "Rocket" manages to do brilliantly and is just as good.
"Rocket's" production values can't be faulted. It is exquisitely photographed and there is something very nostalgic and charming about the atmospherically evoked 1960s period detail. It was also a genius move to keep Barrington Pheloung on board, with his hauntingly beautiful scoring and immortal 'Inspector Morse' theme, and while the use of music isn't as ingenious as it was in "Fugue" it's hugely effective still.
Writing, even for so early on, is every bit as intelligent, entertaining and tense as the previous episodes and as the best of 'Morse'. The story has tension, ), a good deal going on and little feels improbable or too obvious while being suitably complicated. Morse and Thursday's father/son relationship, while even stronger later being more entertaining and heartfelt, has a lot of warmth, is so well written within the story and is a large part of the series' appeal and there is some good suspense. How great to see a younger Max and Strange well before he became superintendent.
The pacing is restrained, but that allows the atmosphere to come through, and pretty much all the same it excels in that aspect. The characters are interesting.
Shaun Evans again does some powerful, charismatic work as younger Morse, showing enough loyalty to John Thaw's iconic Morse while making the character his own too. Roger Allam is also superb, his rapport with Evans always compels and entertains but Thursday is quite a sympathetic character, as well as loyal and firm, and Allam does a lot special with a role that could have been less interesting possibly in lesser hands. All the acting is very good from Sean Rigby, Anton Lesser and Martin Jarvis standing out of the guest supporting cast.
Overall, another brilliant episode. 10/10 Bethany Cox
