‘Endeavour‘ returned to ITV last week for the first of three new episodes.
The first episode, ‘Striker’, picked up at the start of 1971 with Endeavour investigating a murder at an Oxford college and having to play bodyguard when the Oxford Wanderers’ star striker had a threat made against his life.
The new series continues on Sunday with episode 2, ‘Scherzo’.
The synopsis for the episode is:
May 1971, and a cab driver is found dead in his taxi, owing a large debt to a colleague.
Investigations into his death leads Endeavour and the team first to a nudist colony, where guests are making the most of the spring sunshine, and later to the heart of a blue movie outfit in London’s Soho.
Meanwhile at home, Endeavour receives a guest who reminds him of a past he’d sooner forget. As the investigation into the cab driver’s murder unfolds, Endeavour starts to retreat from those close to him and appears set on a course of wilful self-destruction.
‘Endeavour’ continues at 8pm Sunday on ITV. Preview the episode with our gallery below:
