No histrionics just little movements of his head and hands but enough to convey his mental and emotional state. Shaun Evans was sublime in the episode and the scene where he is sitting at the bedside of his dead father trying to deal with the situation was wonderful. In the end, we’re very pleased with the result the chilly landscape gives the story.” We were ready for the snow, but not quite so much of it! Filming had to be halted on one day, while we battled the weather for almost a week. The producer Dan McCulloch said in an interview, “Shooting for Home took place in January. A serendipitous event that helped give the episode a different look and feel. I can only assume that filming during a period of snow was not planned as the UK has in the last 20 years not always had snow during the winter months. Setting the episode while snow fell and was on the ground gave an extra dimension to the photography and as if Oxford City wasn’t already picturesque it was even more so being covered in snow. The cinematography was as ever excellent. Though we get to learn something about Fred’s history, he speaks Italian and German, he fought in the war etc I still would love to learn more about him. He helped out Mickey Carter’s widow financially until she remarried. Mickey was killed by Vic Casper’s gang and Thursday blamed himself for his death. We also learn that Fred took a police constable under his wing in London, Mickey Carter. You have to believe that the threat was a serious one to have Fred ask his superiors for a transfer. Fred asked for the transfer as his family was under threat from London gangsters, in particular Vic Casper. Just as interesting as the above was learning why Fred Thursday moved to Oxford from London. It was interesting that the actor, Alan Williams, who they chose to play Cyril Morse, Endeavour’s father, had more than a passing resemblance to John Thaw. In that same Inspector Morse episode we also got to meet Joyce. Gwen Morse played by Edwina Day in the episode Cherubim and Seraphim.
