Dark Endeavour AU: Ashes to Ashes

I'm convinced that Ashes to Ashes (episode 2.1) featuring both Shaun Evans and Roger Allam is actually a dark Endeavour AU! There are so many parallels.

First up, we have the cop uniform swagger:

Next, we have Morse P.C. Kevin Hales, who was on the take, but his friend and colleague found out and was going to report him. Hales tries to shut him up by getting compromising pictures, but the setup goes wrong and his friend dies. Hales later shoots the hooker that was part of the setup after telling the police his friend was the one on the take. Interestingly, he seems to go in for a bit of a death-by-cop scenario as he is indeed somewhat guilt-ridden, but gives up. Which leads to a forced breathalyser test, not unfamiliar to Endeavour...

Then some police brutality:

And then it's off to prison!

Where things go badly, except just a little worse for Hales...

And then we have Thursday of course, who in this scenario is the shady Detective Superintendent Charlie Mackintosh, who’s trying to cover up his obvious murder of Hales in prison by having it listed as a suicide – because he’s *gasp* a MASON!!! (Taking over from Strange in this scenario!)

So yeah, fascinating to see Thursday have Endeavour murdered in prison! And what a beautiful little disaster!Cop he made too:

And there you have it! Such an interesting dark AU version of Endeavour! Or maybe just Pylon if it had been set in the 80s.

Can't get enough of the Morsetache, though! I'm very grateful to the 70s for that alone. Morsetache forever!

This is just as brilliant as it was the first time around.

Kudos to @alias71 for 1) Figuring all of this out in the first place and 2) making it into such a visually stunning post.

Does Shaun Evans remind me a little of Robert Redford?

Yes

Anything from the towpath? No. As a matter of fact, I think we've got enough bodies on that.
