This video is terrific, a must for anyone who loves Morse and happily moved on to Lewis and Endeavour. I've been going through -once again - my boxed set of Morse. Such extraordinary actors -Massey, Campbell, Pickup, Allam, Callow ... Great to see they've been all gainfully employed through the years.

We all age variously, and styles change, but the casting and acting in the 3 series was always first class. Much gratitude for making these fascinating connections. Judy 🤗🙏🌼

Now that l am able to leave comments, l decided to rewatch this so l could say, as a fan of Lewis, Endeavour, and a HUGE Morse/John Thaw fan, l really enjoyed this. I love how many actors wanted to be a part of the continued quality we enjoy from all 3 titles. For those without cable now, it's too bad we cannot see the complete series of Lewis & Endeavour on KZread, but l am glad l have been able to revisit all of Morse!- Lots of research & work putting this together, so many thanks!😀👍

I see your comment is from a year ago. I am up to Series 6 of Lewis on KZread. Not sure yet if they have all 9 series - I am working my way through in order. But maybe take another look if you haven't already and are still interested; they might all be there now. No luck with Endeavour yet, though as far as I can see.

They've all done the rounds on their detective programs.. Midsommer, Morse, Lewis, Poirot, Marple...

What a wonderful video. Thanks for this as those TV shows are great favourites of mine.

I just sat here with my jaw dropped! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I have been hoping for a Hathaway series, but obviously that isn't going to happen.

I’m afraid that a Hathaway series would be hobbled by Fox’s persistent current public utterances about racism, sexism and nationalism. The time honored dictum of “less is more” no longer applies to younger actors. I think we take such solace in class actors like Morse and his long-suffering aid. I don’t know what either actor thought about world events…and don’t care. This left me free to enjoy their fictional characters…and watch them decade after decade. BTW - much thanks for this compilation. What a joy these actors have been!

Thank you so much for sharing the three series! Great work! Morse, Lewis and Endeavour - great series.

Great work in covering these series. I saw a few Morsh episodes but never a full series (work, Deployments overseas etc). Came across Endeavour trailer on you tube, and ordered the four seasons available at the time, then binge watched them in just less than a week lol, (I’m retired). Reminded me of Morse so of course I had to get that series to binge and finally just finished binge watched the Lewis series. In Morse there are Actors whom I recognized from other things, but I was actually surprised in the face changes over there acting career of people who I did not recognize from there Morse episodes, but recognized then immediately as actors I enjoyed in their other works. Many thanks for all the great work you do in tying all three series together, here and your website.

Fabulous! Thank you so much. I have all episodes/seasons of Morse, Lewis and Endeavour. Would have loved seasons of Hathaway. Just need a writer!

I have spotted a few but you really got some minor characters. I am currently binging on revisiting LEWIS. am noticing lots of nice details.

And the wonderful voice of Lucia Popp makes it even more awesome!

One of many things that I love about British television or indeed the acting community is that perhaps due to the smaller size than in the U.S. one tends to see actors appear in many roles. I used to see more often I think on American television. For example, when watching reruns of the long-running series, Perry Mason you will see actors reappearing over and over in completely different roles.

Wonderful compilation…and the music is sublime..

I think Anna Massey's 2nd appearance wasn't in the Lewis pilot, but in "Whom the God's would Destroy. . ." She was the Greek tutor for Platt, and the other murderous conspirators. She translated Lewis' list of Greek characters into phone numbers.

So nice to see the actors aging gracefully. If these were American TV series, the actors would not have aged, just "plasticized". :-(

On a trip to London in 1993, I guess I saw it in the Standard, Colin Dexter was appearing at a Waterstones in the City signing his book of stories "Morse's Greatest Mystery (and other stories)"; I was second or third on line and he was very pleasant and signed my copy. Like Alfred Hitchcock, it was great to find him in the Morse programs, but I've never seen him in 'Lewis' or 'Endeavor'.

@@wetherby6774 Awesome experience! Thanks for sharing! 💛

I appreciated the concept, & the great effort that must have gone into compiling all of it...I'm always noticing familiar faces while watching various shows (especially British ones), & wondering where I've seen the actor before...or just knowing, & shouting it out! One thing I'd like to see listed would be the years of the episodes. Finally, I know I'm in the minority, but I'm not an opera fan (unlike Morse), so I had to turn the volume way down😉 I enjoyed it anyway. Thx.

This is terrific BUT have you considered recutting utilizing a split-screen? You could have the roles listed in 1/2 screen boxes followed by the photos. As it is the time lag between seeing 1st pic and the second is more than I would love.

This is great ! I remember watching filming of Driven to Distraction in and around a bookshop in Hitchin Hertfordshire very exciting as a great Morse fan now and then thanks for posting !

Nice - I was thinking that "Characters from Inspector Morse/Lewis who turn up in Endeavour" (Hathaway's dad, Copley-Barnes, Lord Tony etc) would make a great follow-up video...

It was great to see Gina McKee all punked out as girl in betting shop after seeing her in her usual , spare, refined beauty playing Irene in Forsyte saga. Reeling in the years. ;).

Great trivia for the fans Thanks!

Just saw Gina McKee in Morse last night and wondered how many other other actors had doubled up. KZread really does read your mind. As an aside, on ITV 3 I watched Lewis (S2,E1), then DCI Banks (S1, E1&2) and then Inspector Morse (S1, E3). Almost the full cast of Drop the Dead Donkey!

Thé brits seem to stay together as a sort of rep company in general. Fun to see and play along with them. It’s a star spotting sport. ;).

Spot who was in Brideshead Revisited, too. Jonathan Coy, Diana Quick and Richard Hope (not mentioned her but in Endeavour recently). Maybe others I can’t recall without more viewing

Did anyone else count how many of the faces played 'coppers' in other TV series's, not just one episode but a main character? I spotted at least 9

You have left out James Laurenson. He appeared in Inspector Morse, The Dead of Jericho as Tony Richards and in Endeavour, Game as Professor George Amory.

Although not strictly relevant Angela Griffin appeared in Lewis. She also appeared in a us tv series called the "the detail" in major role.

The first guy (Alan Durden?) was in endeavour too, don't forget.

What is this background music

The photo of what is supposedly Anna Wilson-Jones as Stanza Massey in Fearful Symmetry appears to be of Lucy Cohu playing Marion Hammond, also Fearful Symmetry. Not a good photo of her, though.
