My father was obsessed with Captain Cook, and his ship was called Endeavour... Why aren't you both laughing?
...[mutters] You poor sod.

Watching Trove and I had to pause it so I could just cackle at this at my leisure:
Dorothea: Who do you fancy to win?
Morse: When I was a child, my father took me to a County Show. The stockmen led beeves around a field. The winner got a rosette. The loser got a bolt through their skull.
Dorothea: ...it's just a bit of fun, Morse.

Today marks one year since the end of my second favourite tv show.
One year since Endeavour ended.
One year since I cried my eyes out as my parents poked fun at me for crying over a tv show because I never do that (as far as they know) and I had to accept there will be no more (official) Morse stuff anymore.
I still am not over it and I still love the show to pieces so to mark the occasion and the fact I’m never going to be over this damned show, here’s a poster I made a while back for fun:

•have a shufti (at something)
​(British English, informal) to have a quick look at something •
According to a Martin J Pitt on Quora: “Spelled shufti it means “look!” in Arabic (from past tense of shaf) and was picked up in the Second World War by soldiers such as my father. It is what pedlars would say when offering goods such as dirty postcards, or various article of doubtful genuineness. I actually have his Egyptian phrase book from the time.”

Sometimes I think about how proud Morse would be that:
a) Roger Allam has some opera training and is still a massive opera and classical fanboy
b) Kevin Whately's daughter Kitty is a professional opera/classical singer (and a v good one!)
I think he'd like both Shaun Evans and John Thaw too (and would be psyched that Thaw's second marriage was to a Quaker!), though he might be freaked out by how many serial killers Evans has played. But Allam and Whately, especially the latter? Oh that would make his *year*. :-)

how +‎ is +‎ your +‎ father. A popular catchphrase of the 1910s popularised by music-hall entertainer Harry Tate, who used it for comic effect to change the subject away from one about which his character was ignorant (hence sense 1) or a taboo subject (hence sense 2).

AU where everything is the same but Win Thursday is short for Winston Thursday and he's Fred's husband played by Ian McKellen
Tumblr media
Happy Pride Month!
+ Morse seeing these older, happy queer men and realising he's not alone in his own queerness, and he doesn't have to end up frightened and lonely. He ends up confiding in Fred that he's got a soft spot for pretty women AND pretty men. Fred goodnaturedly rolling his eyes and being sure to keep Morse away from anyone who's making doe-eyes at him.
++ Winston being absolutely the blueprint for older grumpy but funny Inspector Morse
+++ Winston and Max Debryn being in a constant battle over who can be the best dressed and most sarcastic at any social event.
++++ Fred and Winston taking both Morse and Peter under their wings and giving them a safe space to be themselves.
+++++ Caroline O'Neill's character still exists but she's married to Dorothea Frazil now
-- The Blenheim Vale storyline is even MORE painful
Thank you @reginaldbright and @gohoubi for the idea!! :D *
