I watched Endeavour last night - very enjoyable. I wondered if it was filmed on the Cholsey to Wallingford line but the station would have been a terminus if that were the case. Quainton Road does seem right, and looked right too - I initially thought that the first station might have been Hanborough, though I don't think that it was.
Good to see parly services getting a mention!
One thing that struck me was that the creators were good at creating fictional station names that sounded realistic:
Norborough (Hanborough)
King's Oak (King's Sutton)
East Pitherbury (no idea)
Gibbet's End (I like the metaphor)
Roger Allam was terrific as always, and I particularly thought that Anton Lesser was superb in last night's episode. When he lost his temper, you forgot that he was acting - it was sublimely done.
My parents also noticed the Crossroads Motel @ilkestonian - a nice touch.

Authenticity doesn't matter to me, but I do appreciate the attention to detail. There are always little things to spot and enjoy.Was good - often is - the attention to period detail is excellent - even down to cigarette and biscuit packets. The Crossroads reference was superb. (though probably only noted by anyone over the age of 50)
