Here's a super fun place to discuss all things Endeavour, from Shaun Evans to the Jag to Allam's wacky hat. The long, three minute trailer is here for your viewing pleasure.
The new series starts on ITV1 on April 14th at 8:00pm, so set your alarms!
A forum for the website all-allam.com - this is your place to discuss all things relating to the great British actor Roger Allam

In the pilot, there was the added tension that the viewer and Morse were left in doubt for a while how Thursday is to be judged: Is he a good cop or a bad/corrupted cop? Roger's earlier tv roles helped to heighten that tension, I guess. Must add though that I really loved Thursday's and Morse's pub scene in the first episode.
Still very much looking forward to the next episodes.

I hope you liked ep 2 better. I haven't seen it yet (I HATE not having ITV while the UK is at swimming distance), but Twitter is wildly enthusiastic about it, so I guess it's quite a good one.

- Spoiler:
Fergus what are you doing? I thought you were just a crap politican not also a serial killer ^^
Once again I guessed the ending beforehand. I have watched to many crime-shows to be not suspicious about corpses that are in such a state that you can no longer identify them clearly
But still the episode was brilliant. Of course the interaction between Morse and Thursday was great but I also love stories with killers that are inspired by literature (well in this case opera). Yeah, I am weird.
Andreawashere wrote:I don't make the rules around here, but with Endeavour and other new tv stuff I'd suggest at least a couple of days. With the older stuff, it's a bit trickier. If you're new to Allam fandom, and reading a thread about, for instance, the Inspector Morse ep with Allam in it, hoping to find a link to a Youtube vid or a download, you don't want to read spoilers. I was spoiled for the Waking the Dead ep from 2002, and I really wish I wasn't because I would have loved to figure the plot out on my own. OTOH, 11 years of spoiler warnings is a bit silly.
Maybe a warning in the topic title is the easiest way to allow people to properly discuss things and at the same time warn people? And if a topic isn't labeled, I think that spoiler thingy works fine.

I've also pre-ordered the DVD on Amazon, so that I can see them all again with my husband, who loves this kind of dramas, but needs subtitles in order to understand the plot in full.

My mother is the same and I usually download subtitles for her (just google Endeaver, the episode name and subtitles) though it probably depends on your DVD-player if it can play (and at least ours sometimes accepts .srt-files and sometimes not).
Anyway I also already ordered the DVD (and the soundtrack ). Amazon claims it will arrive on the 10th. Fingers crossed that it really will.
I loved the final episode. 'Rocket' was good, too but probably my least favourite of the season (despite the fact that they decided not to go for the 'all Germans are nazis'-steretype but for the 'Germans are obsessed with order and efficiency'-one instead )

Re the DVD, I haven't ordered it yet because from the Amazon description, I think it hasn't got subtitles and no extras? If that is indeed the case, I think I'll wait for a Dutch release or (who knows) a special edition including the pilot.
