One of the things I love about this episode is how quickly some of the other officers (Sgt Milner and the officer at the desk) offer to have Sam stay over. She's just so loveable that they'll let her bunk at their places. That and the fact both of them don't want her to tell Foyle at all because they are so worried about him not approving, only in the end for a reversal with Foyle not wanting others to know. I think it's cute, touching, and a heart warming scene. Sam is the best!
This was a GREAT series !!! I have all 6 dvd seasons and just watched "The Russian House" season 6. Where Foyle talks about going to America for some "unfinished business" . Bravo Michael Kitchen and Honeysuckle Weeks for such BRILLIANT performances !!!
Agreed - a most memorable moment from a most memorable series. Honeysuckle Weeks does a superb job too - I can't think of anyone who could have played Sam any better.
Fantastic show with a fantastic cast. Subtle, understated and very, very British. Sam (surprise, surprise) has to be my favourite character but Michel Kitchen is magical in the title role.
In the episode "The Russia House" (but you may have seen it by now) he tells Sam he is to going to America for "unfinished business" and I seem to recall there is a later reference to a person we assume to be Page committing suicide, so it would seem he knew he could no longer evade justice when Foyle was on his case.
I didn't know 'Foyle's War' until recently and after only three episodes I must say that it has been at least 20 years since I was so thrilled about a TV-series - 20 years, or more specifically since I discovered Inspector Morse. Coincidentally, I knew Michael Kitchen best from his role in the fantastic Morse-episode 'Death of the Self'... small world :-)
He can cut anybody down to size without losing his cool, for example "I'm trying to find a killer Milner, I don't have time for charity you know exactly why I'm here you either want to help or you don't"
it 's a syncromesh gear --- from a gearbox --- in old gearboxes when you changed gear the gear you were changing up to was stationary --so it crunched but this syncromesh gear spun the stationary gear to the same speed as the engaging gear and so ---- no crunch ---simplez :=)
the best scene is when Sir Reginald gives his "business is bigger than war" speech. After the nazis occupied paris automobile sales actually INCREASED!!
There is to be a three part series starting in 2013 "Set during the early period after the Second World War, Foyle - in his new job as a Senior Intelligence Officer - will focus his attention on the world of espionage as he gathers secret intelligence in support of Britain’s security, defence and the government’s foreign and economic policies."
I expect Christopher Foyle would have great difficulty in ignoring the Russian interference as stated in the Russian report. He was continually badgering his superiors to do something about it. Yes Foyle is fiction but the Russian report is fact. We could do with many a Foyle in MI5 today.
For me he was much better than Morse. Morse was self indulgent in his refusal to eat and excessive drinking, even during a working day, a thing I could never approve of, and also his free loading off his junior assistant, also an unacceptable thing. No, Foyle had true integrity, inner strength and self discipline. Much the better man.
@@nigelw512 Yes, I agree that those things show why Morse disliked certain institutions and I have no argument with that. I dislike the way he is represented as a bitter man, with a snotty attitude to everyone else by the Thaw version of Morse. He is arrogant, sneering, he drinks to excess, even during working hours, he is a bastard to poor Lewis, and in general comes across to me as a weak man, self abusing from a lack of self respect, and spreading his misery onto those who have to work with and under him. And I despise that sort of self indulgent weakness. The Endeavour Morse is presented much more favourably, and him I do like. But you can see why to me Foyle is by far and away the better man. He has lost the love of his life, his son is fighting in danger of his life, and Morse enjoys a Scotch too, but nothing is done to detriment, or excess, and his manner to everyone is one of self disciplined self control, decency, respect. A far better man.
At the end of the last series he was boarding a ship to America. I assume to chase this rotter! Does the series in 2013 pick up from this point, does the villain get his comeuppance?
We can only assume so, yes. As the FBI were v annoyed w Foyle. It is never made explicit & occurs 'behind the scenes' just after the most moving episode "Hide".
love it not surprised that he said what he said what he did to black market person those people put innocent lives at risk and for what? a few extra pounds a week
This stuff made me lose respect for the show - too much anti-US sentiment on show. It's like the British resented the Americans saving their arses. Not cool.
Sommatore Nero That is exactly what they would have done. The only reason the USA is the most powerful and wealthiest nation in the world is because they sat back and relaxed and profited off the deaths of millions for most of both World Wars.
Dragonise1952, Surely it was resentment against an American, not Americans, infact in previous episodes when it seemed that an American soldier had committed murder on his base, Foyle proved his innocence. In any community, where there is the need for a scapegoat, there is always the temptation to suspect the foreigner, and I don't think you can magnify the guilt of this one American, into resenting America (that would be sophistry).

Michael Kitchen is so great in this role. Foyle's War is for me one of the best TV series ever.
Brilliant. Television doesn't get better than this.

Simply the best television series ever made.
Oh to be able to display grace under pressure as Foyle does.
Agreed - a most memorable moment from a most memorable series. Honeysuckle Weeks does a superb job too - I can't think of anyone who could have played Sam any better.
Brilliant, superbly acted series, a great poignant and clever ending "Au revoir" - until we meet again.
Fantastic show with a fantastic cast. Subtle, understated and very, very British. Sam (surprise, surprise) has to be my favourite character but Michel Kitchen is magical in the title role.
Michael
Foyle's War is genius. Acting, characters, script, scenes, storylines - just perfect in every way. And Michael Kitchen of course, best of the best.
I do miss Foyle s war so much, Watch it again every few years
Foyle is absolute boss in this scene!! Absolutely hard as nails. And the best bit is, he keeps to his word! 💪🇬🇧
go foyle !
love him
I have to say that Foyles War and Michael Kitchens best scene could very probably be yet to come. Great show.
There ARE so many.
Foyles war is the best series I’ve ever seen.
I was in the episode "Sunflower" and met and had a cigarette with Honeysuckle Weeks. Really nice girl.
What role did you have
Most memorable scene of the series
This is why Michael Kitchen is so great as Christopher Foyle, this one scene sums up the character
Yes, this scene was enchanting. Thanks for posting it.
It's from "fifty ships"...I just watched it :) ...and, yes, it must be one of the best scenes in the series.
Too bad we never got to see Foyle nail Page to the wall. But of course we always want more Foyle.
In the episode "The Russia House" (but you may have seen it by now) he tells Sam he is to going to America for "unfinished business" and I seem to recall there is a later reference to a person we assume to be Page committing suicide, so it would seem he knew he could no longer evade justice when Foyle was on his case.
Wonderful, unforgettable

Me too! But now I've seen almost all he's filmed... all fab.
Brilliant scene what a badass foyle is.
I know - it would be great to be able to cut the villains down to size as he does without losing my cool!
He can cut anybody down to size without losing his cool, for example "I'm trying to find a killer Milner, I don't have time for charity you know exactly why I'm here you either want to help or you don't"
Yes! I always wondered about that allusion. Thanks for pointing it out.
DC3....the perfect design for the roles chosen.....first flown in 1935 and still flying today.
One of the bits I liked was the cards when everyone is trying to make a swastika out of them and at the last shot Foyle has done it.
HONEYSUCKLE ❤❤
A great show if ever I've seen one

I like Foyle saying to a villain: "You being hanged is your best contribution to the war effort."
I still want them to film Foyle going to America for the arrest. And meeting Phil Marlowe. I think that would certainly work.

It is also fabulous.

@@briane5706 Your idea is interesting (if I understand you), your English erratic.
mckavitt13
Thanks for your comment.Typos corrected!
@@briane5706 Good show! 🙆
@4Topwood Yes, really shows Foyle's dedication to his duty :)
i remeber this scene
Foyle was a great detective, up there with Morse.
For me he was much better than Morse. Morse was self indulgent in his refusal to eat and excessive drinking, even during a working day, a thing I could never approve of, and also his free loading off his junior assistant, also an unacceptable thing. No, Foyle had true integrity, inner strength and self discipline. Much the better man.
@@isabellajones8535 That's one of the reasons why he was so good to watch
@@nigelw512 To which "he" do you refer? I found Foyle good to watch, and Morse unpleasant to watch, such that I didnt watch all of it.
@@isabellajones8535 Morse. When you watch Endeavour you begin to understand why the way he is and his hatred of the church and Masons.
@@nigelw512 Yes, I agree that those things show why Morse disliked certain institutions and I have no argument with that. I dislike the way he is represented as a bitter man, with a snotty attitude to everyone else by the Thaw version of Morse.

not surprised that he said what he said what he did to black market person
those people put innocent lives at risk and for what? a few extra pounds a week
Wasn't that lovely.
Which episode of Foyles War is this from?
Fifty Ships episode 1 series 2
This stuff made me lose respect for the show - too much anti-US sentiment on show. It's like the British resented the Americans saving their arses. Not cool.
dragonize1952 We resent the Americans thinking they saved our arses
dragonize1952: And what would the United States have done if Japan had not attacked Pearl Harbour? Continued to sit on the fence, no doubt.
Sommatore Nero That is exactly what they would have done. The only reason the USA is the most powerful and wealthiest nation in the world is because they sat back and relaxed and profited off the deaths of millions for most of both World Wars.

Americans didn't save our arses.
Its a pity Americans have to delude themselves about such things.
