Revisionist History - Politically Correct - Endeavour - the Bristish crime series is yet another huge mistake. They spent so much time getting the clothes, hair and furniture right and then they insert an inter-racial sexual fling between Morse and a black Negress Jamaican Nurse.
This would not have happened in 1966, none of it would have taken place between a police officer on his way up and an immigrant black female.
There is so much white liberal guilt about Blacks in the media, so much so that they re-write history, in historical dramas.
First Downton Abbey, (which has never kept true to the time period), had the wayward Rose take off with a Black American Jazz Musician.
Under no conditions could Rose have had an open romance with a black man.
Not even likely ! I quit watching the show over that and I don't miss it.

Now it's Endeavour- with Detective Morse. He is dating the black Jamaican foreign nurse, ( who acts like a typical black servant) , without a care as to what that might mean to his job and associates.
It is 1966 and his job would be out the window, it's so completely screwed up that it ruins an otherwise believable trip to the past. She lives across the hall, in a time when she wouldn't be either a nurse or living in a white-only building. The actor Shaun Evans, wanted to have his character get pregnant . Obviously he hasn't a clue what that would mean for him socially or economically
So Shaun is yet another idiot actor.
It ruins the show. even now if a Shaun Evans went out to a nice restaurant with a black female there would be cold looks. In a way , it insults blacks too, as it makes light of all their protests. ( no pun intended) . I was watching it not for the silly murders, but to look at the time period. I fast forwarded through any scene with Morse and his Negress.
It's interesting that all the killers are whites in the show and there is no evidence of the enormous immigration of blacks from the colonies. There is just one sweet black girl right across the hall, with a perfect accent.

Last nights was definitely not PC, watch it but concentrate as its easy to miss vital pieces particularly towards the end.
Yes it was. They introduced an ethnic black character (the nurse) who spoke with an English accent. Since it wasn't a Liverpool (or Cardiff) accent, the chances of this being authentic for 1966 are minuscule.
The new series also finds Morse embarking on a tentative romance with a neighbor, a recent Negro immigrant working as a nurse. Was the decision to cast a black actress (newcomer Shvorne Marks) anything to do with the so-called "Midsomer race row" of 2011, when creator Brian True-May was suspended after claiming that Midsomer Murders was
"the last bastion of Englishness" because it featured no ethnic minorities?"I don't think it was as considered as that," says Lewis. "I wanted to get away from the bluestocking pre-Raphaelite girl of the week,
and then her character seemed a great way to celebrate the NHS and the contribution that immigrants made to that. Having said that, we're not the Hull Truck Theatre company… we are a whodunit. But the joy of it being this period is that you can look at social history."
