List of Red Letters hidden in PBS Masterpiece Mystery Credits with Commentary !

A compilation of red letters in the closing credits in Masterpiece Theater's Masterpiece Mystery, a hidden message in each episode -- including these from: "Miss Scarlet and The Duke", "Annika", "Granchester", "Endeaver", "Sherlock", "Van Der Valk", "Unforgotten", and more. Those with red letters on this web page are the ones I found; those mentioned by others' research are show in orange letters; of those, without my commentary, found at the bottom.

Warning ! My commentary could spoil the plot . . .

"Guilt"

• " " -- Season 3, episode 1
• "Francis John Miller " -- Season 3, episode 2. A Scottish singer/songwriter, and actor, also known as Frankie Miller. It is his tune, "Darlin", that Alec whistles while at the lake with his two, adult sons -- they have long been estranged. Alec describes Miller as "the best white singer since Elvis".
• "Carpet Bowls" -- Season 3, episode 3. Seen in New Orleans, May 12,2024. An indoor bowling game in England. The two sons and their small entourage hide out with their Mom. While sitting in the living room, she says she met a man at the carpet bowls (which accounts for the nice car out front). She also lets on that he has a bad heart, and that the carpet bowls are more exciting than you think.
• "Strigerformes" -- Season 3, Episode 4. The Taxomic designation for the order of owls.
  "I remembered the owls." [as she holds up a yellow ticket] "I wanted to see what capacity you might have for something more."
  -----"And how am I looking?"
  "Hunted."
  -----"That's about right."
  Owls ... prodigious hunters ... a playful touch. Sadly, I don't know where this episode's reference comes from -- some earlier episode, perhaps?

"Miss Scarlet"

I have settled on a new title, here -- this is the run on from "Miss Scarlet & the Duke", as he is written off to the New World without Ms. Scarlet

• "Francis Rynd" -- Season 5, episode 1, seen in New Orleans in January, 2025. Dr. Rynd was an Irish physician credited with developing a hollow needle used as a hyperdermic needle. Watched twice, Sunday and Monday, locally, I remain perlexed on its story reference. Perhaps, this is a future reference...?
• "The Sea Cook" -- Season 5, episode , seen in New Orleans in January, 2025. A favorite book, of the inspector's daughter, in its original title.
• "Molecular Gastronomy" -- Season 5, episode , seen in New Orleans on January, 27, 2025. Food became a foil on this show, from earlier, poignant moments of a love's fine cooking, to a false declaration of culinary skill, to lessons in the science of the art by a nearly confirmed bachelor, to the penultimate showdown with the killer. Simply: the hidden phrase is the study of the chemical and physical changes from cooking food.
• "Poque" -- Season 5, episode , seen in New Orleans on February 2nd, 2025. With poker a story foil in this episode, the red letters share a French predecessor version apparently appearing in the 1700s, in a long string of predecessors.
• "Edison Cylinder" -- Season 5, episode , seen in New Orleans on February 16nd, 2025. The wax cylinder recording, prominently featured with its aural clue, finds itself engraved in the red letters.
• "Michael Balfe" -- Season 5, episode 5, seen in New Orleans. An Irish composer, remembered for his operas -- which, if I recall, was a want-to-be opera singer. I don't recall the opera she was singing, sadly, but I want to suspect it was one by Balfe.

"Miss Scarlet & the Duke"

• "Tempus Fugit" -- Season 1, episode 5, seen in New Orleans in September, 2023. As engraved on the watch given to the Detective Inspector, it is Latin for "time flies".
• "Columbidae" -- Season 2, episode 1 -- "Pandora's Box". Seen in New Orleans in September, 2023. A bird family name, the sole member of the Cobumbiformes order, which includes doves and pidgeons -- gone missing in the story line.
• "Mariposa de la Muerte" -- Season 2, episode 2 -- "The Black Witch Moth". Seen in New Orleans in September, 2023. The spanish (or portugese?) name of the moth featured in the stolen artwork. Straight translation is the Moth of Death, for a night-time active moth present in North and South America.
• "Pirates of Penzance" -- Seen in New Orleans in September, 2023.
• "Papaver Somniferum" -- Seen in New Orleans in September, 2023. The latin name for the opium poppy, a common ingredient in some medical elixars of the time.
• "Horus The Child" -- a powerful egyptian sky god, a protector of royalty, avenged wrongs, and so on. One of a series of dieties named Horus, found in Egyptian and Greco/Roman mythology, the latter being source for the distinctive designation "...the child". Not sure how the reference tied in...
• "The Great Gold Robbery" -- Season 3, episode 1, "The Vanishing" -- an 1855 robbery of gold from safes on the train, in a scheme undertaken by a pair which included a discharged railroad employee. The movie, "The First Great Train Robbery", with Sean Connery and Donald Sutherland, was great fun, and recommended. The plot, for this episode, included bombs built from explosives stolen from railroad tunnel construction stores, with the complicity of a railroad employee. Seen in New Orleans September and October, 2023.
• "A Table Alphabeticall" -- Season 3, episode 2, "Arabella" -- an Engish dictionary from the early 1600s, listing words and their simple synonyms, where most of the words were of foreign derivations. Ms. Scarlet turns to foreign dictionaries in her office to learn the meaning of the word "spilla", found on the calling card for the restauranteur, Ms. Arabella. Ms. Scarlet discovers that "spilla" is Italian for "brooch"; she moves on the trail of evidence to recover hers, stolen after an evening at the restaurant. The title is correctly spelled, ending with two L's. Seen in New Orleans September, 2023.
• "Lord Gordon Gordon" -- Season 3, episode 3, "Hotel St Marc" -- a reference to a con artist who had operated in England, the United States and Canada. The complexity of his intrigues almost equal the twists in this episode, where Ms. Scarlet and her competitor have chased this episode's con man to rural France. Seen in New Orleans September, 2023.
• "Fives and Threes" -- Season 3, episode 4, "Bloodline" -- A dominos game, common to English pubs, and the setting for Detective Fitzroy when he sees his nemisis detective cheating by secreting away dominos to gain an advantage. Seen in New Orleans September, 2023.
• "FE and HRE" -- " -- Seen in January, 2023, a repeat of a prior show. I am tempted to suggest that this is a reference to the "French Empire" and the "Holy Roman Empire. But, the connection to the episode escapes me. The other alternative had me thinking "FE" as elemental Iron. The prior, more likely thought has some connection to the clock(s) but, often, the references are incidental to a momentary comment or action.
• "Samuel Bedborough" -- Season 4, episode 1, "Elysium" -- The reference to this mystery author (within the plot line), part of an earlier episode's reference, pop's up, here. I suggest this is a reference to the author of the novel that the housekeeper is briefly reading, capturing her focus while she is in the kitchen. Seen in New Orleans January, 2023.
• "Taphophobia" -- Season 4, episode 2, "Six Feet Under" -- a murder mystery, set in/around funeral homes and with a weave into the local morgue, sets the stage for this week's red letter message, taphophobia, the fear of being buried alive. 18th and 19th century patents for safety coffins abounded, some with bells that the accidentally-encased might ring. At least once in this episode,the bell sounds, the last as the murderer attempts to elude Miss Scarlett, ringing the bell as he attempts to escape her snare. Seen in New Orleans, Jan. 14, 2024.
• "Beau Douro" -- Season 4, episode 3, "Origins" -- A nickname given to Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington (nee Arthur Wesley), title granted in 1814. He acquired that nickname after a battle by the Douro river, 'Beau' is said to reference his finery in dress. Our "Duke", of course, carries the Wellington surname.
• "Chelengk" -- Season 4, episode 4, "The Diamond Feather" -- A Turkish military award; one of which was awarded to Admiral Nelson, to honor his service to the Sultan for defeating the French Navy. Nelson's Chelengk is stolen in this episode, and returned and placed in its glass case at the conclusion of the episode. In this episode, auctioned out of the Nelson heirs' line, into the hands of the shifty client. In real life, the jewelry remained in the Nelson family until auctioned off in 1895. By 1951, it was bought back and placed in a Greenwich museum, where it was actually stolen and never returned.
• "Elisha Gray" -- Season 4, episode 5, "The Calling" -- A co-founder of Western Electric Manufacturing Company, and a developer of a telephone prototype in 1876. His later patent fight with Alexander Bell failed. Of interest is a reported reason for Bell delaying filing his patent, to allow for the filing in Britain which required patenting there before a filing elsewhere. The Nash firm joins early adopters with a wall mounted phone, after its prominence earlier in the story, and the phone is an essential element throughout. Thanks to "KWS" for correcting my review of the caption that yielded only "ELSHAGRA", which led me on endless and fruitless searches around "El Shagra", and its various meanings, having no connection to the story line.
• "Secondment" -- Season 4, episode 6, "The Fugitive" -- (Due to an unexpected and intervening plug for funding, the credit run suddently appeared, and I missed all but the last five letters. Thanks to a website visitor -- thanks, "M W" -- I received all 10 letters. My guess, "disbandment", for what happened to the firm, therefore incorrect.) Our Wellington has been absent, detached from his regular organization for a temporary assignment overseas, a "secondment". Miss Scarlet has been detached from Nash & Co. until Mr. Nash's troubles are over, to her own firm. A double entendre, triple if you count the red letters.

"Sherlock"

• "Ecliptic Obliquity" -- Season 4, episode 1, "The Abominable Bride". Another moment where, having watched this a few times over the years, I had no idea what the reference is. But, the internet answers all questions, and this may drag you deep in: https://payojism.blogspot.com/2016/12/sherlock-moriarty-and-obliquity-of.html. Apparently, I missed the part of the Sherlock episode where one of the Mycrofts, the Mycroft past (?), raises the "Obliquity of the Ecliptic" as a motive ... That said, I invite all to read about the astronomical science, and the history behind the discovery of Neptune. Happy Hunting !
• "Rachel" , the full, first name fingernail-scratched onto the wood floor by the lady in pink. She only managed 5 letters, but the credits bear all six in red.
• "Imagine", which is where my mind sits, drawing a blank for why this reference...
• "Pips", the pink phone's voice mail, sounding out a countdown of victims -- the first sounding a set of five.
• "The Woman", Sherlock's nom d'amour for Irene Adler.
• "UMQRA" -- S2E1: A Scandal in Belgravia -- the morse code read by Watson, from flashing headlights in a car, during "The Hounds of Baskerville", during the second episode of season 2. Those five letters reverberate around the internet, for interpretations of Watson's discovery. Interestingly, UMQRA first appears in this episode, as red letters, before Watson's reads the letters. Surely, the internet should take this as a clue to its meaning. Seen in New Orleans, Nov. 17, 2024.
• "Believe" -- S2E3: The Reichenbach Fall, the reference uncertain.

"The Marlow Murder Club"

• "Campanology" -- Season 1, Episode 4. Campanology is the art, practice and study of bells and bell ringing. At the close of this episode, Becks Starling races to the church belfry and recovers a rope dangling from a large bell. To maximize the length, she artfully rings the bell and flips it upside down, then cuts the rope and runs back to the fallen tree to save the day. Seen in New Orleans, Nov 17, 2024

"Annika"

• "Mocha Dick" -- Episode 1, Season 1 (I think, as Annika is newly arrived at her homicide post); seen in New Orleans May 16, 2024. Moby Dick features prominently in Annika's asides in this episode, and there is even a penultimate confrontation with the suspect with references to whales. The red letters in this episode refer to the original white whale, Mocha Dick, whose history is a partial basis for Melville's novel. The name, "Mocha", derives from Mocha Island, on the Pacific coast of Chile, where the whale was often spotted. Mocha Dick was an albino whale and survived many skirmishes with whalers, dying on his last skirmish in 1838.
• "Francis James Child" -- Episode 1, Season 2. Mr. Child is the 19th century author of a collection of English and Scottish ballads, with commentary. The work is now described as the "Child Ballads" -- a playful tie in to the story line, which revolves around children. In that collection of 305 ballads, number 113, "The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry", appears to be the ballad into which Annika's storyline tumbles as she contemplates disclosing to her male coworker his patrimony of her 16 y.o. daughter. The ballad, with variations, is the story of a seal who becomes a man when on land, meets a woman and snatches her son, and then predicts a sad ending. There is a version of this ballad set in Scandinavia, and there are a slew of recordings (see the Wikipedia entry.), versions of the ballad by many well known artists. Thus, with each of the above tidbits, we have ties to the storyline and Annika's asides, inside the episode.
• "Charles Joughin" -- Episode 3 [?], Season 1; seen in New Orleans May 23, 2024. Annika's teen daughter cites the Titanic's baker's drinking as cause for surviving hours in the freezing water -- all to support her own drinking habit. Mr. Joughin was the chief baker on the Titanic. (Who doesn't remember the scene in the B&W Titanic movie, with the drunk gathering deck chairs as the ship sinks.) See the Wikidpedia article for more detail on his experience and life.
• " -- " -- Episode 2, Season 2. [I missed this one ... ]
• "Acrophobia" -- Episode 3, Season 2. The fear of heights. The only reference I caught was the penultimate chase, to the old quarry, where the suspect runs and is trapped by the cliff height above the water below. Annika does take a peak over the edge, her hand tethered to the arm of her accompanying police partner. Interestingly, this fear is a target within episode 4, where Annika is faced with a helicopter ride to the Islands of Jura and Islay.
• "Craighouse" -- Episode 4, Season 2. This is the main drag of Jura, the island of "choice" for this episode's murder. Not to be confused with "Craig House", an ancient bit of land with a castle whose additional buildings had become an insane asylum.

"Unforgotten"

• "DVLA" -- seen in Unforgotten Season 3, the second-to-last episode, which ends with the arrest of a character triggered by evidence of his receiving a speeding ticket on the A4. D.V.L.A. is the "Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency"
• "Royal Court" -- found in episode 6 of Season 3, the final episode for that year. This appears to be a reference to the "Royal Court Theatre", where many of the series actors have played.
• "Museum ----ands" -- found in Season 4, episode 1. Missed the intervening letters. Netherlands? There are way too many words ending in "ands", even if it's just in English. Sorry...
• "Port Gaverne" -- located in Cornwall. from the final episode of Season 4
• "Arthur Wynne" -- from an unknown episode seen in July, 2023. He's the inventor of the modern crossword; but I'm not sure how that tied in to the episode.
• "Old Bill" -- from an episode seen in August, 2023.
• "Endochondral Ossification" -- from series 5, episode two(?) seen in September, 2023. A process of bone formation in the embryo.
• "Narrow Boat" -- seen in September, 2023.
• "Louis Vauxcelles" -- seen in Sepetember, 2023. He is credited with coining the terms Fauvism and Cubism. I wonder if this is a reference to that brief moment, in an interrogation room, where the suspect notices and comments on artwork on his counsel's phone. If I see this episode, again, I will be keen to listen closely.
• "Karl Westphal" -- Season 5, episode 4. This episode is filled with troubles and reverberations arising from sex and sexuality misplaced and misdirected, involving the various characters. Karl Westphal, among his other notable scholarly moments in medicine, particuarly neurology and neuroanatomy, published a paper in 1870 on "contrary sexual feeling", addressing within that paper observations on homosexuality. The paper is described as one of the early medical accounts on sexuality as a disorder. Seen in New Orleans, September, 2023.
• "Subscriber Identity Card" -- Season 5, episode 5. Seen in New Orleans, October, 2023.
• "Sperciliary Arch" -- Season 5, final episode. Seen in New Orleans, October, 2023. SPOILER: don't read further: The part of the skull which is the forehead and the roof of the orbit, basically at the eyebrow. I recall a comment by the on-site coroner that the bullet entered there -- consistent with a struggle over the pistol by Priscilla and her son. That shot would come from the front (at the hands of Priscilla) and striking Lord Hume's grandson in the front of his skull. This is just as Lord Hume described at his first interview on that day. And the same description by the daughter at her interview, where she repeats Lord Hume's statement from the time of the scene of the two deaths. Lord Hume, contradicts this at his second confession and said, I believe, that he shot his grandson in the back of the head. If I have this right, it all matches up with the superb plot twist, at the end. Lord Hume, left to fall on his sword, for his crime 57 years ago, and for all the ills that came from it -- guilty of rape and everything else, but innocent of murder.

"Grantchester"

• "Vespasian" -- Season 9, episode 6 -- Roman emperor 69-79 c.e., the founder of the Flavian dynasty. The buried Roman soldier, but not the bronze cross, tied to that time period. Seen in New Orleans July 21, 2024.
• "Katharine Dexter McCormick" -- Season 9, episode 5 -- With the episode focusing on the necessary and not subtle redefinition of a woman's equal place in the world, this red letter hidden message identifies an early voice for the vote and womens' access to contraception. Ms. McCormick's biography Ms. McCormick's Wikipedia biography is a must read for anyone who turns to this webpage. The plot weaves her life's work into all the plot lines -- the murder, womens' evolving place in the home, the vicarage, a young woman stepping out in to the world. Gleefully restraining myself from revealing too much, I can announce that all mysteries and problems (save one) are resolved by a woman, and men toil and get lost without them. Seen in New Orleans July 14, 2024.
• "Oscar Wilde" -- Season 9, episode 4 -- This red-letter clue announces itself at the very beginning of the episode. We hear "A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life", and its author's name, Oscar Wilde. But deeper coincidences abound. The quote is from the 3rd Act of his play, "A Woman of No Importance", a parlor play from the late 1800s offering up unflaterring views of the upper crust, and of men and of women. (The quote is seen here.) I find many aspects of the play resonate with issues in this episode -- the plot review in Wikipedia, though tedious, offers some insights. And, it should not be lost -- deeper plot connections from Wilde and this play, to the episode and the entire series: Wilde's homsexuality, battles between mother and daughter, characters with adulturous tendancies -- Someone, one day, might write a PhD dissertation on all this. Seen in New Orleans July 7, 2024.
• "William Wordsworth" -- Season 9, episode 3 {the first appearance of the new vicar} -- Mr. Wordsworth was a poet in the lete 1700s and early 1800s. I did not notice a connection to the episode directly, but do note that there were minor references to writers (Dickens, included, for example). So my connection is this: Wordsworth, born in the Lake District, was a keen member of the Anglican Church, and wrote an epic poem which included a paster as one of its main characters. (That, I regretfully report, is the best I can do....) Seen in New Orleans June '24.
• "Morris Minor" -- Season 9, episode 2 -- The vehicle that takes the Vicar and his family away from Grantchester. I think this is the Morris Minor Travellor, from pictures and the half-timbered styling (with a wood-framed rear section); manufactured from '58 to '71. The car company closed in '71. Seen in New Orleans June '24.
• "Joesph Grimaldi" -- Season 9, first episode -- Grimaldi was a well a clown in Britain, in the late 1700's and early 1800s. He is described as the first to use white face with exagerated lips. This episode featured a circus, with an ending on a clown as the murder, who like Grimaldi also had addiction issues. . . . A subtle double reference. Uniquely, to all the masterpiece mystieries I've seen, another focus of criminality, thieving circus member gets away with the goods. Seen in New Orleans June '24.
• "Phasianus Colchicus" -- Season 8 Final Episode -- Common pheasant also known as a ring-neck pheasant. A non-migratory bird, introduced worldwide, originally native to Eurasia. The males are more colorful. But, poignantly, many sub-species have a distinctive white collar around their neck, from which comes their "ring-necked" name -- a likely reference to the lead character's calling....
• "Budapest Fifty Six" -- The August, 2023, second to last episode. Suspects had fled from Hungary, tying them to motive. In October, 1956, students began protests against the Soviet presence in Hungary; in November, Russians invaded.
• "Muir Burn Code" -- A code regulating heather burns in Scotland. [Spoiler Alert] Near the end of the episode, the Vicar passes the housekeeper at the half-way house, stops, turns, and asks about the meaning of burning heather, to which she replies "redemption", and they turn to walk away. Realizing that she may be related to a young woman whose death in Scotland is integral to the storyline, the Vicar calls after her by the name of the young woman's mother, who then turns to respond, sealing her capture. The momentary, isolated comment is what connects us to this episode's red letters. I believe this was Season 8, episode 4, seen in July, 2023, and again June '24.
• "Fata Morgana" -- Season ? Episode [where the vicar kills a man on a motorcycle] -- This is a specific mirage caused by atmospheric ducting, where near-surface temperature gradiants form reflective surfaces allowing over-the-horizon objects to be seen. The mirgages, themselves, have layers, some inverted, and often include shifting. Can also cause over-the-horizon transmission of radio waves. Sadly, I missed the explicit connection to this story line, seen by me in New Orleans in May, 2024.

"Van der Valk"

• "Sébastien Foucan" -- The founder of "freerunning", and an early developer of "parkour" -- which form a principle element of the story line.
• "Thomas Bruce of Elgin" -- I want to suggest this is "Redemption in Amsterdam - part 1", which makes it part of episode 2 in season 3, seen in New Orleans in September, 2023. I suggest this because I saw the "part 2" notation on another episode's title credits; I haven't deciphered this, yet. Lord Elgin, now known for his collection of the "Elgin Marbles", from the Parthenon and other buildings on the Acropolis of Athens. An allusion, likely, to the episode's collector of the sword in the story, as he had removed it from Indonesia.
• "False Confession Syndrome" -- Season 3, episode 2 -- "Redemption in Amsterdam - part 2" (I believe that "part 2" rolled by quickly in the opening credits; I have no explanation for it.). This bit of the story is resolved, identifying the current murderer connected to a now-grown woman, accused of setting fire to her family as a child. Her childhood confession, countered by recent evidence gathered up by the team, becomes the fodder for the red letters. Seen in New Orleans in late September, 2023.
• " " -- Season 3, episode 3 -- "Magic in Amsterdam". Sadly, I fell asleep before the murder was resolved, and only woke after the show ended, the credits were long gone and the broadcast had moved on. Seen in New Orleans in late October, 2023.
• "Passerine" -- Season , episode -- "". A bit of intrigue, the crime solved, and endless references to birds. This episode's red letters are birds in the order Passeriformes -- perching birds with three toes to the front and one to the rear. Half of all bird species, and one more bird reference in Masterpiece Mystery -- we've had magpies in trees, ring-necked pheasants, missing pidgeons ....

"Magpie Murders"

• "Ornithomancy" -- Unknown episode, seen in New Orleans, September 24, 2023. Ornithmancy is the art of Prophesying based on the cries and flights of birds; I happened on the last minute of the episode and can't suggest how this ties in to the story line. The nursery rhyme referenced in another credit, "One for Sorrow", is connected to superstitions associated with magpies, and ill omens. I have to imagine Magpies, and someone's prediction of deaths somehow overlap in the story line . . .
• "One For Sorrow" -- Unknown episode, seen in New Orleans, October, 2023. This is a clear reference to the traditional nursery rhyme about Magpies. Within the episode, the inspector is discharged from a car out in the country; the long shot places him by a roadside tree. On that tree's dead branches: four Magpies, one per branch, offset from each other on either side of the tree. The early versions of this nursery rhyme, going back to the 18th and 19th century, read as:
  
  • One for Sorrow
  • Two for mirth
  • Three for a wedding,
  • Four for death,
  • Five for silver,
  • Six for gold;
  • Seven for a secret,
  • Not to be told;
  • Eight for heaven,
  • Nine for hell,
  • And ten for the devils own self
  
  A playful, brief moment in a murder mystery: four magpies and an appropriate hidden message in the credits.

"The Escape Artist"

• "Wallender Daughter" -- I think correctly decoded, from episode two of "The Escape Artist", another Masterpiece Theater", a three part series. Oddly, it seems to refer to yet another Masterpiece series, "Wallender". The reference, perhaps to Linda, the daughter of Kurt Wallender in that series.

Other assertions -- the letters not confirmed by me, but some with my added commentary

"Sherlock"

• "Believe" -- S2E3: The Reichenbach Fall
• "Weng Chiang" -- episode not clear, but the assertion is that it refers to an episode of Doctor Who ("The Talons of Weng-Chiang", S14E6 final), where the Doctor Dresses as Holmes and a Giant Rat.

"Grantchester"

• "Zborowski" -- Season 8 Episode 3 -- Leopold Zborowski, an art dealer, friend and patron of Modigliani, the painter of "Reclining Nude" (1917), which was a key element of the episode.
• "Dianthus Caryophyllus" -- Season ? Episode 2 -- a carnation.
• "Edmond Dantes" -- Season 6 Episode 5 -- He's a character in The Count of Monte Cristo. Perhaps, a nod to the comment by a librarian walking in to the police station: "This is all very thrilling, like the Count of Monte Cristo." Perhaps, there is a deeper reference within, as Dantes is portrayed as an intelligent, loving man who becomes bitter and vengeful after he is framed -- but I don't recall this issue in this episode.

"Endeavor"

• "Dolce Domun" -- Endeavor Finale - Dulce Dumon, a bar/lounge in the George Hotel in Pangbourne, west of London, England. Dolce Domun, a song by Louie Zong. But I vote its transalation, however spelled, refers to "Peacefully at Home", or sleepily?
• "Lonsdale" -- Endeavor pilot (?) -- the name of the fictional Oxford college associated with Morse.

"Baptiste"

• "" -- missing ....
