Shaun Evans of ITV crime drama Endeavour is set to make a special guest appearance on the BBC this weekend.

The 44-year-old starred as Inspector Endeavour Morse in the popular TV series for 11 years from 2012 until the show’s last episode in 2023.

Acting as a prequel to fellow crime drama programmes Inspector Morse and Lewis, Endeavour was mainly filmed in and around Oxford like its predecessors.

With over a year passing since the final episode, fans have been wondering what Shaun Evans is up to currently.

The Liverpool-born star will read several pieces on BBC Radio 3’s Words and Music programme between 6pm and 7.15pm on Sunday, July 14.

This week’s theme is swimming and Mr Evans will read pieces including Marriott Edgar’s The Channel Swimmer and Robin Robinson’s Swimming in the Woods.

The actor recently returned to Oxford earlier this year in March to give a reading at Exeter College Chapel and met fans at the venue.
