Endeavour, Season 2 Before Inspector Morse, there was the rookie Constable Morse, fed up with police work and ready to nip his career in the bud Sunday Evening by handing in his resignation. That is, until a murder turned up that only he could solve. Shaun Evans returns for a sec- ond season as the young Endeavour Morse, Sleuths before his signature red Jaguar but with his deductive powers already running in Sundays at 9 p.m. on high gear. Vegas PBS Channel 10 and 10.1 June 29 Trove Four months after DC Endeavour Our “Summer of Suprises” continues Morse’s brush with death, he returns to duty with Oxford City Police and is reunit- this month with all-new mysteries to solve. ed with DI Fred Thursday (Roger Allam, Parade’s End). Morse’s first case involves a John Doe who plummets to his death in what appears to be a routine suicide. When Morse discovers the man’s mysteri- ous final message, he begins to consider seemingly unrelated cases, causing Thursday to worry that Morse’s wounds may have been more in mind than body. July 6 Nocturne When an elderly man is murdered with a ceremonial dagger, Morse’s investigation leads him to an isolated and dreary school for girls. Endeavour digs into the school building’s disturbing history and learns of a series of murders that took place almost 100 years ago to the day. As the centenary approaches, Morse races to prevent the ghosts of the past from crashing into the present. July 13 Sway A woman found choked to death with a black silk stocking marks the third stran- gling in a month, putting the Oxford City Police on edge. Morse and Thursday grap- ple with their own personal travails as they work. July 20 Neverland Morse investigates the cases of a miss- ing boy, a dead journalist, and an abscon- der from an open prison, drawing him into a chain reaction of troubling events that could reveal horrors of the past. Morse and Thursday band together as their investiga- tion deepens and leads them to confront corruption on the police force and miscon- duct extending to the upper echelons of Oxford society.

America’s best known gangster, he was the single greatest symbol of the collapse of law and order in the United States during the 1920s Prohibition era, with a leading role in the illegal activities. Just his name sparks images of pin-stripe suits and bloody violence. Despite his illegitimate occupation, Capone became a highly visible public figure. He made donations to various charitable endeavors using the money he made from his activities. To this day, Americans are fascinated by this celebrity gangster. The question is why? Repeats Sunday, July 27 at 1 p.m. History Detectives Special Investigations: Who Killed Jimmy Hoffa? Former Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa went missing on July 30, 1975, never to be found. Hoffa, a hero to many working Americans, played a major role in the growth and development of the truck- ing union. But he fell afoul of the law, with allegations that the powerful pension fund was under mob control and used, among other things, to finance Vegas casinos. What exactly happened to Hoffa that day, and why? Recently declassified FBI files and interviews with people close to the story allow a detailed accounting of what likely occurred. The investigation is an exploration of Hoffa’s final days and hours and a revelatory window on power and corruption in the post-war era labor movement. Repeats Sunday, July 27 at 2 p.m. As a Special Thank-You Gift we have premiere tickets available to Australian Pink Floyd, Gino Vannelli and The Texas Tenors.

Armelle Parey Introduction 1 The figure of Inspector Morse first appeared in a novel by Colin Dexter, Last Bus to Woodstock, in 1975. By the time the character reached the TV screen in 1987, impersonated by John Thaw (in The Dead of Jericho), Colin Dexter (1930-2017) had already published 7 of the 12 novels he wrote in total around the figure of the grumpy opera- loving inspector. The TV adaptation, Inspector Morse, consisted in 33 films, broadcast in series or as “specials”, aired on ITV between 1987 and 2000, finishing with the adaptation of The Last Remorseful Day (1999) in which the character dies1. Following the death of John Thaw in 2002, Dexter stipulated in a clause in his will that no other actor should reprise the role2.

  • Serious Case Review Into Child Sexual Exploitation in Oxfordshire: from the Experiences of Children A, B, C, D, E, and F
    Serious Case Review into Child Sexual Exploitation in Oxfordshire: from the experiences of Children A, B, C, D, E, and F Approved by the OSCB February 26th 2015 Update14.3.15 Independent Reviewer: Alan Bedford MA (Social Work), Dip.Crim FOREWORD i. What happened to the child victims of the sexual exploitation in Oxfordshire was indescribably awful, and a number of perpetrators are serving long periods of imprisonment following the investigation known as ‘Operation Bullfinch’. The child victims and their families feel very let down. Their accounts of how they perceived professional work are disturbing and chastening. There is clearly a demand to find out how such extensive abuse could have continued for so long before it was properly identified, and why there was not speedier action. There was a strong public reaction last year and this year to two Rotherham inquiries (which were not Serious Case Reviews) and to similar concerns reported elsewhere, and there have been calls in such cases for individuals to be held to account. ii. The Serious Case Review (SCR) has seen no evidence of wilful professional neglect or misconduct by organisations, but there was at times a worrying lack of curiosity and follow through, and much work should have been considerably different and better. There is little evidence that the local understanding of child sexual exploitation (CSE), or how to tackle it once identified, was significantly different from many parts of the country. iii. On the surface, many of the illustrations described in the report can seem like professional ineptitude, unconcern, or inaction. They become more understandable when put in the context of the knowledge and processes at the time, practical difficulties around evidence, and a professional mind-set which could not grasp that the victims’ ability to say ‘no’ had been totally eroded.
