ENDEAVOUR PREMIERES

SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 9 PM

Since its PBS premiere in 2012, Endeavour has delighted viewers with plot twists and turns. This year promises to be just as exciting as the series marks the beginning of its seventh season Sunday, August 9 at 9 p.m. on GPB as part of the Masterpiece Summer of Mystery.

Based on the characters of novelist Colin Dexter, Endeavour stars Shaun Evans in the title role of Endeavour Morse and began as a pre quel to the popular series Inspector Morse, turning back the clock to ‘60s England to tell the story of the making of the legendary detective.

Evoking the conflict between tradition and the new youth culture, the young Endeavour Morse prefers Puccini to the Beatles. As season seven of the series begins, he finds himself entering a new decade and era of change with his colleagues.

Opening on New Year’s Eve 1969, Endeavour reunites with his team at Castle Gate CID to find old friendships will be challenged, and new relationships will blossom. Amidst the dawn of women’s liberation, social progression and scientific growth, the 1970s begin for Oxford’s finest with the discov ery of a body at the canal towpath on New Year’s Day. With the only clue in the investigation coming from a witness who heard whistling on the night of the crime, Endeavour has his work cut out to uncover the culprit.

“Oracle” Sunday, August 9 As Morse sees in the new year – 1970 – at an opera house in Venice, a murder in Oxford puts his partner Fred Thursday on a quest to find the man responsible. Returning home, Morse makes a new acquaintance, and old friendships show signs of strain.

“Raga” Sunday, August 16 A clash between two young, rival gangs results in tragedy. Initial investigations lead Morse and Thursday to the door of a familiar face. Then tragedy strikes a second time when an Indian restaurant’s customer disappears and a shocking murder is discovered.

“Zenana” Sunday, August 23 When Morse is called to investigate what at first appears to be a freak accident at Lady Matilda’s College, he uncovers a potential link between a series of peculiar incidents across Oxford, and despite Thursday’s skepticism, becomes convinced the accidents are the result of foul play.
