In less ponderous news, we fans of "Endeavour" had a chance to watch the opening episode of "Inspector Morse," the series it prequels. "Endeavour" had already taken me back to the Oxford I knew, albeit in a sparkling 2010s recreation of what had happened half a century before, but here was the rather duller Oxford of the 1980s which I actually knew. Indeed, not half an hour in, Morse drives past the place I lived in my final year, in decidedly unsparkly Jericho (the second row house on the right)! The episode aired in 1987; I lived there 1986-87! Maybe I was there in my dingy second-story room, facing the blank brick wall of the back of St. Barnabas Church, as filming happened!Saturday, April 11, 2020
