Endeavour's final voyage

How the second actor to play Inspector Morse said goodbye to the role.
Endeavour's final voyage

Shaun Evans might have been the second S actor to play the bright young Oxford copper who became John Thaw's titular detective in Inspector Morse but in some ways he's outdone his older predecessor.

After all, Evans has played Endeavour Morse for 36 film-length episodes, some of which he also directed, which come to an end with the ninth and final season of the period crime drama centred on the university town.

Thaw was Morse for 33 episodes from 1987 before he died in 2002.

Plus, Evans' Morse had more personal stuff to deal with in his earlier years - two lost loves including one who died in his arms, a drinking problem, his troubled father-son relationship with his senior officer and mentor Fred Thursday (Roger Allam) ... oh, and the time he grew that moustache.
