The ITV Inspector Morse tale came to an end last year after the last broadcast of Endeavour.
From the original Inspector Morse series (1987-2000), through to the spin-off Lewis (2006-2015) and Endeavour, the story of Inspector Morse has finally come to an end.
The pilot episode of Endeavour was screened in 2012 and attracted 8.2 million viewers and ever since Shaun Evans as Endeavour and Roger Allam as DCI Fred Thursday.
ITV said series nine would be the last.

Morse, first played by John Thaw, is based on the character created by Oxford author Colin Dexter, who had several cameo roles in the three series.
The author died in 2017 and a memorial service was held at Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford the following year.
Before he died he made it clear that he did not want any other TV dramas to follow Endeavour in the series - Inspector Morse, Lewis and Endeavour was enough.
🎥 It was a privilege to work with the incredible Anton Lesser & Team as a very small part of ITV’s #ENDEAVOUR - playing Bright’s Secretary over the last few Series! Blink & you’ll miss it, but you may see me wafting about in the background in this last series starting tonight… pic.twitter.com/3XlNWlB0qW
