Meanwhile in Striker at 9.00pm, the opening episode of Endeavour sees us in 1971, when a death threat to Oxford Wanderers’ star striker Jack Swift places Endeavour at the heart of the glitz and glamour of 1970s football, exposing the true cost of success and celebrity, and with it, a deep-rooted division that is soon reflected much closer to home. The cast as always is headlined by Shaun Evans (DC Endeavour Morse), Roger Allam (DI Fred Thursday) and James Bradshaw (Dr. Max DeBryn).
