Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the pilot, we see Endeavour lives in the police officers' housing. He is typing a letter. What is the topic of the letter?

Answer: His resignation

He never hands it in. It is also not explained why he wants to resign. Thank goodness, though, because it would have put a stop to a successful career. His sister's name is Joyce. We don't see her very often.

2. In "Home," the last episode of series one, a close relative of Morse's passes away. Who is it?

Answer: His father

Endeavour doesn't have a brother, and we never meet his uncles or cousins. He doesn't have a lot of friends, either. We don't usually see examples of what he does on the weekend.

3. In the second episode of the first season, "Fugue," he meets someone at the door of his supervisor's house. Who is this person?

Answer: Joan Thursday

Joan is Inspector Thursday's daughter. She assertively tells Morse to come in. Over the years, Endeavour and Joan build up a close friendship. Peter Jakes is a fellow policeman, Dorothea Frazil is a reporter for the Oxford Mail, and Max DeBryn is the coroner.

4. Endeavour's love life is spotted with mostly negative encounters. In season two, he dates someone with whom he's got something special. Who is she?

Answer: Monica Hicks

Susan was his former fiancee. They got engaged while he was at university. Then she broke up with him. Monica is a nurse. He abandons Monica at the beginning of series three, and we don't see her again until series four, when he has to visit the hospital where she works. Ludwig and Jones are real-life opera singers.

5. In the beginning of series three, we see Endeavour is living in a cabin in the woods. He's chopping wood. What is he wearing?

Answer: His work clothes

He is out in the woods after he has served a short jail sentence. He was arrested at the end of series two. After this sojourn in series three, he goes to parties at a mansion. It becomes related to a case.

6. In series three, Joan wants to leave town. This is because she was traumatized at the bank where she worked, when it was robbed. Endeavour catches up to her. What does he say?

Answer: "You mean everything in the world to your parents. You mean everything in the world to-"

He stares at her while he says this. It is plain that he meant to say "Me," but he just can't get the word out. Joan leaves town, and goes through a disastrous relationship in series four.

7. Joan meets up with a new boyfriend in series four. Who is this man?

Answer: Ray Morton

Ray Morton is cheating on his wife. Jim is an officer who befriends Morse. Pheloung is a composer who created the music for this show and for the original "Inspector Morse" series. Neil Duncan is one of the producers of the show.

8. In series four, Inspector Thursday catches up with Joan. In an encounter with her boyfriend, what does he do?

Answer: Gets in a fight

Endeavour sees them fighting, and pulls them apart. Ray threatens to call the police, but Thursday shouts, "I'm the law in these parts!"

9. In the final episode of series four, "Harvest," Joan comes over to Endeavour's flat. What does he immediately notice about her?

Answer: She has a bruise under her right eye

She was struck by Ray Morton. Endeavour demands to know where Morton is, but Joan does not tell him. He gives her money, and she leaves.

10. In "Icarus," the finale of series five, what happens to Detective Constable George Fancy?

Answer: He is shot to death

Endeavour had been training the Detective Constable, and was none too pleased with the results. The massacre happens in a pub, where the officers had a shootout with members of criminal Eddie Nero's gang. Endeavour arrives at the scene and gives George CPR, to try to revive him, but it's no use. Shirley finds out when she walks into the station and asks a group of officers what's wrong.

They don't respond. Then she realizes the truth. It's a very moving scene.
