scoots Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Just wondering what others thought of the "Morse" prequel aired last night? Personally, I thought it was excellent. A fitting tribute to one of the greatest character actors of the 20th Century. There were echoes throughout of his Morse, and the young actor playing him was quite superb. Captured his traits, quirks and mannerisms without shoving them in your face and making it an impersonation. The programme on John Thaw also reminded me of what a massive and diverse volume of work he had. So many characters, all unique and well portrayed, rather than (sorry, Sir David) portraying the same two or three characters again and again under different names!! The epilogue, where he looked in the rear view mirror and "saw" himself as Thaw raised goosebumps for me. I'd very much like to see more, so long as it's of a similar quality. But what do others think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoots Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yes, indeed. Kept me guessing throughout, much as many of the Morse storylines did. Another reason I thought it a fitting "prequel" to the original. It appears Eammon Holmes agrees & now has "Endeavour" trending on Twitter.
