Endeavour Morse is back and, as Shaun-Evans explains, he’s as cerebral and complex as ever. Here, the actor talks about the challenges the young Oxford detective faces during his four new cases:

In the pilot, we saw Endeavour on the verge of resigning. So is he destined to remain an outsider in this new series?

Yes. His mind works in a specific way, which is useful for solving crimes, yet being in Oxford and in the police force is not the best environment for him. But I don’t think he would know what would be best for him ? some people are just like that though, aren’t they? Slightly out of joint wherever they go. Whatever he was doing it would never be perfect.
