Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is Morse's first name?

Answer: Endeavour

His parents were Quakers, and "Endeavour" was considered a suitable name for Quakers. Additionally, his father was obsessed with Captain Cook.
2. What is the name of Morse's Superintendent?

Answer: Strange

He was played by the rotund James Grout, and always seemed torn between proper police protocol and indulging Morse.
3. How many episodes of the TV series were made?

Answer: 33

All timed for two-hour long episodes. They spanned a number of years and comparisons between the technology in early episodes and that in the later ones is fascinating.
4. What was Morse's nickname while at university?

Answer: Pagan

He was known as "Pagan" due to his distaste for all things religious. Sergeant Lewis had much amusement when he learnt this nickname.
5. Was Morse briefly married?

Answer: No

Despite several romances he never married, although he came close on at least two occasions.

Answer: Diabetes

His drinking only exacerbated the diabetes. He began to 'adjust' his blood sugar readings for the hospital in order to conceal the truth.

Answer: Colin Dexter

Dexter makes a walk-on appearance in almost every episode, although he never speaks.
8. What is Morse's favourite drink?

Answer: Beer

Morse says "he thinks better" over a pint. This is a cause of some friction with colleagues and superiors, particularly when he never seems to have the cash on him to buy the next round.
9. Which police force does Morse work for?

Answer: Thames Valley

Although based in Oxford, he actually works for Thames Valley. Once or twice he is seen following up a lead in London.
10. What kind of car does Morse drive?

Answer: Jaguar

A vintage red Jaguar Mk II, registration 248 RPA. It is damaged in at least three episodes. It was bought for the series for £1,000 and sold at auction after the final episode for over £20,000
