All the better to drag them off their college lawn teddy bears’ picnic kicking and screaming. Heavily styled after Alex and his Droogs from A Clockwork Orange (a film released one year earlier in the Endeavour timeline) right down to the Kubrickian soundtrack and framing, the society boys were odious villains. While Morse, Thursday and Bright risked their necks for what’s right, England’s future leaders stamped on those of the poor for entertainment. Speaking of cruelty, what an exquisite contrast there was in ‘Uniform’ between the solid heroism of our gang and the foul arrogance of The Debonairs. Now Jakes – first-hand witness to the brutal child abuse covered up at Blenheim Vale – has joined the fray, the truth will out whatever the cost. It took Bright’s direct defiance of Division orders, and DeBryn’s identification of the bodies to get the job done. Morse led the charge by offering to draw enemy fire so Thursday could protect his promotion, but when it came to it, Fred stood shoulder to shoulder with his bagman. There was a stirring sense of heroism in ‘Uniform’ as one by one, our men chose good over self-interest. With a “Wotcha”, Little Pete was back, this time hopefully ready to face his demons.

A band now one brother bigger following the surprise return of DS Jakes – last seen in Series 3 – at the episode’s cliffhanger ending.
