What keeps me coming back, beside the lovely images of Oxford or the many shots of a pensive and brooding Endeavour chewing on his
pencil while listening to what are often my own fave pieces of classical music, are the little quotidian interactions
between Endeavor and Thursday, or the glimpses we get into Thursday’s
family-life: the sandwich toppings, or when he looks disappointingly into the
chocolate box and proclaims who ate the Savoy truffle? (A quick google brings to light a new-to-me Beatles song of the same name AND the fact that it’s one of the chocs inside of a
specific assortment of Mackintosh chocolates.
The references to bloater paste in this last episode had
both Bill and I running to our Kindles. I knew it was probably some sort of weird
fishy thing.
One last cultural reference—his name always reminds me of
growing up in Australia, where we were told again and again about Captain Cook and how he commanded the HMS Endeavour on his first voyage of discovery to Terra Australis.
