Foyle's Back!


At long last, one of my favourite television series returns on Sunday, 11 April on ITV (20:00).  Any other fans out there?  I think that Foyle's War is one of the best TV series made in a long while: entertaining, provocative, atmospheric, supremely well acted and with a mystery thrown in.  When I was reading interwar novels a few years ago, a lot of what I learnt through fiction was confirmed and expounded upon in this series.  I learnt a lot about Britain in the World Wars through novels and this excellent programme.  A bonus is that it is set in Hastings, a place I know and love.  I had great fun searching out Foyle's home and other locations in Hastings.  I do hope they'll commission another series...  it is definitely worthy.  For more on Foyle and pictures of Hastings, visit this entertaining site: http://www.foyleswar.com/
