Endeavour may now have finished after the final series aired on ITV this year.

But for those who are fans of the Oxford-based show, we remember when Shaun Evans soaked up the sun on set in an Oxford park when filming series eight.

In March 2021, scenes for the popular ITV series were shot in the park in Wellington Square and in Holywell Street.

Shaun Evans was joined by Roger Allam, who plays DI Fred as part of the park was turned into a fun fair.

The Endeavour series followed the Inspector Morse and Lewis TV dramas and started in 2012.

Unlike many period dramas, Endeavour has always set the story 50 years prior to the year of broadcast.

The original Inspector Morse ran for 33 episodes, and Lewis ran for 33 episodes.

Since filming began for ITV’s Inspector Morse episodes in the late 1980s, film crews became a familiar sight on the streets of Oxford.
