I really want to add this to the list for two reasons, one is because it excuses the lack of film reviews this week, and secondly an episode of Foyles War has all the merits of a movie anyway, each being treated by the crew and cast a s TV movie.
This episode is very representative of the level of writing and acting, and is one of the larger budget episodes too, with more FX and done on a grander scale.
Foyle's War is an excellent view of war time Britain, by being on the South coast (Hastings) we are placed away from London and typical war time drama, but also on the coast most vulnerable to invasion where tensions must have been the highest for rural Britain. The attention to detail, and depth of research done by the writer leaves you with very richly painted vignettes of society and politics at the time, without all the bull and bravado of a war film.
