Being a big fan of the Morse and Lewis series' I approached this with some caution - was it going to be up to the standard of the earlier series or not, or would it tarnish the memory of those much-loved characters? No worries though, as from the Pilot I was hooked on Endeavour, which is a fine addition to the "Oxford" stable. If you have the same doubts I had, then don't worry, just try the Pilot here - I'm sure you'll be pleased you did. Highly recommended!

I love all Morse, Lewis & Endeavour dramas, however, this one is my favourite. It is so well crafted it can be watched as an individual story, however, for someone like me it is the perfect introduction to the character. The moment in the mirror at the end is moving beyond description.

J'ai beaucoup aimé ce prequel de Morse qui reste fidèle à l'esprit de cette série culte. On y retrouve tous les codes (jag, bière, musique classique, mots croisés ...) et la belle ville d'Oxford en toile de fond. Pure Nostalgie. Le jeune Shaun Evans ne démérite pas même s'il n'a pas la stature de John Thaw mais il en a la sensibilité, l'autorité viendra si ce pilote est suivi d'une série. Ce que je souhaite. Le petit point noir du DVD est l'absence de sous-titrage français. Les sous-titres anglais sont un peu "cheap" et sans une connaissance suffisante de cette langue il est difficile d'apprécier l'écriture de Russel Lewis, un habitué de Morse, Kavanagh et Lewis. En résumé je crois que tout fan de Morse devrait apprécier une série Endeavour.
I recorded all of the series of Endeavour as and when they were broadcast but, being a pilot episode, firstly, I can't think when it was last shown and secondly, as it predates all other Endeavour episodes you would have to be very lucky to know it was going to be broadcast again and have the chance to record it. Consequently this DVD of the pilot episode is well worth whatever it cost you and the chances are you won't have seen it for some years, if at all, and so it most definitely ticks the box for 'entertainment value'. Long may this series continue!!
