The first episode of the new series, entitled "Trove", started in the usual Morse/Endeavour style with highly important snippets of hints for the plot as the titles went up. Over this a brooding piece of classical music was playing. It sounded like the overture or chorus to an opera or an excerpt from an oratorio. Can anybody tell me what it was? I also thought I heard an excerpt from Bach's St. Matthew Passion quite late on in the programme. Did I?
Also very intriguing during the programme: was that Colin Dexter sitting on a bench in a misty college quad as Morse and a colleague walked past? AND we met the Copeley-Barnes family, from the great Morse episode about the child molesting master of Beaufort College, played by Geoffrey Palmer.
