Vote for your favourite 'Endeavour' film!

First we had the stunning "pilot" which no one - not even the most ardent of Morse and Lewis admirers - could have predicted would be such a hit with both critics and audiences alike. Then we were likewise blessed with an equally impressive quartet of films which have consistently been television highlights of the week.

Sunday nights shall be dreary indeed without our weekly fix of Oxford, opera and an opulent odyssey of ostentatious offenders. Morse is mean, moody and melancholy but we love him all the same and he is missed already!

Girl

We want, nay demand more Morse endeavours but until then, let us give thanks and be grateful for what we already have. There has been a doomed opera star, a beautiful girl, a serial killer, a royal visit and a blackguard from the past directed with such cinematic sheen and shine by Colm McCarthy, Ed Bazalgette, Tom Vaughan, Craig Viveiros and erm, Colm McCarthy again who couldn't resist a second bite of the sumptuous cherry that is Endeavour.

Fugue

Astonishingly, Russell Lewis has penned every single film delivering episodes that not only honour the original Inspector Morse series with such reverence and beauty but also blessed with  captivating characterizations of friends both old and new. Indeed, Shaun Evans, Roger Allam, Anton Lesser, James Bradshaw and Sean Rigby (to name but a few) have all been a revelation in bringing Russell's uniquely intricate vision to the screen and conjuring such beguiling dialogue as "You'd find something suspicious in a saint's sock drawer", not to mention the occasional and profound meditation on the humble sandwich. Drink up Lewis and get to work on more episodes please!

Rocket

However, I must put an end to this literary diarrhoea and steer the Jaguar Mark I-38 firmly towards the purpose of these shenanigans and ask you, my dear friends, loyal readers of this humble blog (hello to both of you!) and the odd drifter who has wandered here out of morbid curiosity for your vote.

Yes, forget those local elections you smoky kippers, I'm asking for your vote and I'm as honest as the day is long - never fiddled with anything or anyone - excluding a brief flirtation with a tribute artist who possessed the uncanny ability to alternate between Katherine Jenkins and Tom Jones with disturbing rapidity during a very wet weekend in Wales.

So, which Endeavour film will be the most popular? Quite a three-pint-problem I know, but how about the operatic original pilot, perhaps the Girl takes your fancy, maybe the vertigo-inducing thrills of Fugue, the right royally regal Rocket or the grand finale in which E. M. phoned Home?
