A new Inspector Morse prequel is being filmed here in Oxford and I just so happened to walk through a scene being shot while I was out during my lunch break. Of course I had a camera on me so here are some images made with my little Olympus Mju-II point and shoot film camera. These are straight scans and I’ve left some of the dust in them for that old skool flavour. Hand processed and scanned by me. The tv show is titled Endeavour and is set in 1965 – you can read more about it here.

*Update* Now that I’ve seen this pilot episode it turns out that my shot below of the black Jaguar car turning the corner is actually the very final shot in the episode. I loved every minute of it.

Camera crew and an extra waiting patiently.

Cyclists on old bikes.

Vintage bus.

Old van.

Vintage Jaguar car, possibly used by Morse?

Old bicycles.

Extras waiting patiently. I love the old metal dustbins.

Extras waiting patiently. Notice the fake traffic lights on the left and the chain link bollards. They are not usually there.

A blast from the past.
