Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Early in the episode, we see Detective Constable Morse lives in the police officers' housing. He is typing something. There's also a radio on. What type of music is he listening to?

Answer: Classical

The character is regularly shown as not liking or paying attention to then-current popular music. The whole national presence of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and so on passed him by. He couldn't be happier.

2. Early in the episode, Endeavour moves to a new flat (apartment). He has a vision. Who or what does he see?

Answer: A woman

This person is not identified by name, in the scene itself. However, it is strongly hinted that she is Susan Fallon, his former fiancee. She broke up with him. Later on, Endeavour is talking to an old professor, and the man mentions "Susan, who lived on St. John's Street."

3. Endeavour is sent from Carshall Newtown Station to help out with a troubling case at Crowley Station. Who is Morse's new supervisor, the Detective Inspector?

Answer: Fred Thursday

Thursday is played by Roger Allam. Over the years, he becomes a father figure to Morse. Endeavour never goes back to Carshall Newtown Station.

4. During this episode, and this one alone, Endeavour says he does not indulge in a particular habit. Which one is it?

Answer: Drinking alcohol

"I don't drink," he says. DCI Thursday orders a beer for him, however. Over the years, Morse becomes quite the imbiber. He often overindulges when he has a broken heart.

Answer: Complete the crossword in the newspaper

Lomax says Percival "could never stick a crossie." Lomax is played by Sam Reid.

6. Endeavour has to use a car when he picks up DCI Thursday. What make is it?

Answer: Jaguar

The car does not belong to him. In Colin Dexter's books, he eventually gets his own Jaguar.

7. Endeavour meets the local coroner, Dr. Max De Bryn. What do the two men almost immediately do?

Answer: Snipe at each other

De Bryn tells him, "They have a word for people like you: necrophobic." It means afraid of death. Morse responds that he would like to use an Anglo-Saxon word, instead of a Greek one. We can guess what he's thinking.

8. Endeavour has to attend an autopsy. What happens to him at this event?

Answer: He passes out

DCI Thursday is standing next to him. The other man catches Morse as he faints.

9. What relatively unusual thing does Endeavour do, contrary to the habits of his fellow police officers?

Answer: Have people only address him by his last name

Most other officers go by their first names or a nickname. Apparently, Morse does not like his first name. Everybody just calls him Morse, even his girlfriends. In the third season, a woman at a party asks him what his first name means, and he says, "Embarrassed."

10. Endeavour and DCI Thursday stop by Thursday's house. What does the DCI take out of a bag?

Answer: A sandwich

This is the first time we hear Fred mention the name of his wife: Win. It's short for Winifred. She is played by Caroline O'Neill.
