Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere is a hint of biographical detail concerning Fred Thursday in this story. At the start, he recalls his visits to the Mile End Rivoli cinema, when he would buy one ticket and then secretively hold open the window in the Men's Toilet so "Chaz and Billy" could get in for free. These two are not identified in the story, but the Inspector's brother appears later in the story and is called Charlie. At the end, when he calls Fred "the best of us". Fred replies that "the best of us didn't come back", implying that there was a third Thursday brother - Billy - killed during the Second World War.
- GoofsAt the scene of the burned office fire hoses of a rather modern type are rolled out as they have been used to extinguish the fire. But they are completely flat, that is they do not contain water. Such flatness can only be seen after the water has been pressed out as the hoses are rolled up. They have thus not been used.
- Quotes
DS Jim Strange: [rhetorically, as he reacts with anger to Dr. Shoukry's anti-British sentiments] They forget who built the Suez Canal in the first place!
DS Endeavour Morse: It was the French.

Featured review
Absolute amazingly intriguing mystery not to be missed
Anybody on here giving 1 star are just insane. In fact I find it mind knowingly ridiculous to give any episode of anything that you mainly like 1 star inane surely you don't have to be over theatrical about it. Anyway back to my review I'm only halfway there this and I had to read this ad thus is the best Endeavour episode I've yet to see. So many different plots and avenues as the actual Morse so often did.
This one has movie stars, and old cinema, Egyptian folklore and villain, the poisoning death of an ex detective, an Indian cafe, racial violence and the return of Thursday's daughter and his niece who is seeing Morse. How can anyone say that all this elements make for a weak instalment? And how are all these connected are they connected? However this ends it wind stop the mystery and intrigue of this amazingly put together episode.
