Endeavour star Shaun Evans joins writer Russell Lewis and producer Dan McCulloch to introduce some preview clips of the third series of the Morse prequel drama and discuss its phenomenal success. The three will discuss how they have gone about raising the bar for the television murder mystery genre in this new series of Endeavour and how you keep pushing the envelope to keep the viewer engaged.

Endeavour follows the early career of the younger Morse in Oxford in the 1960s. The series began with a feature length film to mark the 25th anniversary of Morse. Its success led to two series of the drama. The second attracted a peak audience of seven million and was one of the best performing dramas on the channel. The climax of series two found Morse in prison and framed for the murder of Chief Constable Rupert Standish after unearthing corruption at the heart of the city’s police. His boss, DI Fred Thursday was hanging on to life after being shot in the chest.

The new series has been written by Lewis and Endeavour creator and Inspector Morse writer Russell Lewis. Author of the Morse novels Colin Dexter has again acted as consultant. It stars Evans as Endeavour and features four episodes set in 1967. The big theme is change in the world and change for Endeavour and those most dear to him.
