Summary of Endeavour Season 1 DVD Box Set

Set in 1965, the series centres on the early career of Endeavour Morse (Shaun Evans) after leaving his Oxford college without taking a degree, spending a short time in the Royal Corps of Signals as a cipher clerk, and then joining the police. Soon disillusioned with law enforcement, he begins writing a resignation letter but is sent with other detectives from Carshall Newtown Police to the Oxford City Police to assist in investigating the case of a missing fifteen-year-old schoolgirl.

Having studied at Oxford University gives Morse advantages and disadvantages when dealing with Oxford's 'town and gown' divide. During the pilot episode, he tenders his resignation but Detective Inspector Fred Thursday (Roger Allam), his superior operating in a station over-run with corrupt officers, sees in him an unblemished detective he can trust and takes him under his wing.
