Inspector Morse
Endeavour Morse, GM, is the namesake character of the series of "Morse" detective novels by British author Colin Dexter, a Detective Chief Inspector in the Thames Valley Police in Oxford, England. On television he was portrayed by John Thaw in a 33-episode drama series, '' Inspector Morse'' (1987–2000), and by Shaun Evans in the (2012–2023) prequel series '' Endeavour''. The older Morse is a senior Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officer, while the younger is a detective constable rising through the ranks with the Oxford City Police and, in later seasons, the Thames Valley Police.

In his later career he is usually assisted by Sergeant Robbie Lew ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
