EPISODE 1

In the first episode, Kitty Trevelyan tries to put the troubles of her past behind her as she joins two other girls, Flora Marshall and Rosalie Berwick, to volunteer at one of the busiest war hospitals in Northern France.

For the hospital workers, it’s a daily battle to patch the men up and keep the war machine churning. Staff numbers are low and the volunteers are desperately needed, yet there are some who see these women as a threat.

As the volunteer nurses settle into their first day, it soon becomes clear that no training could have prepared them for the reality of working near the Front Line. Before the day ends, the hospital sees the arrival of Sister Joan Livesey, but it remains to be seen whether her modern approach will be welcomed.  (Followed by Episode 2 & 3 – 3 hours total)

Four months after DC Endeavour Morse’s involuntary leave of absence, he returns to the force and a case that unites an unidentifiable corpse, an enigmatic note, and the theft of medieval artifacts – seemingly unrelated cases as fractured as Morse’s state of mind after his terrifying brush with death.

Written by Inspector Lewis creator and Inspector Morse writer Russell Lewis, Trove stars Shaun Evans as young Endeavour Morse and Roger Allam as Detective Inspector Fred Thursday, alongside series regulars Abigail Thaw (daughter of Inspector Morse star John Thaw) and Anton Lesser, with Shvorne Marks as Endeavour’s new neighbor, Monica.
