Foyle is a foil to criminals, he foils all their plans for getting away. The series is so filled w humanity, dignity, as well, mostly in the persons of Foyle & his two sidekicks. Wonderful, i never miss it, except when it's over.
Thanks for posting! It may interest viewers that my daughter lives in Italy where this show is an absolute smash because a) Italian telly is rubbish and b) it depicts an exagerrated view of quaint Englishness which is very in vogue and marketable on the continent, cashing in on the Harry Potter factor.
well, thus they kept the quality up...remember that most episodes also have a particular subject-theme, fascist collaborators/saboteurs, conchies/pacifists,'the American invasion" , Russians/Poles etc etc..
well Pommies were glad enough of American tanks like Stuart Grant and Sherman, so were probably also glad of an American tractor...at that time, at least they were not delivered with half their parts missing and breaking down mechanically 5 mins into action like British-made tanks...and the British veterans who were in tanks in WW2 will tell you all that themselves. t/y for uploading an episode of this great series, btw..
In the same general vein, the Royal Navy used to send warships like cruisers which had been mined had broken backs etc, across to Brooklyn Navy yard for heavy repair, work, because they csail it across the Atlantic, get the work done in a quarter of the time, half the invoice cost, than in a British shipyard where the workers were stil arguing about striking in the middle of a war..they were already earning 5X what the soldiers were getting. Some things didnt change much even post-War.
So many tweets about Foyle! He will return soon, probably. I just need to find 3 months to write! That's what it's creator said on Twitter. CAN'T FUCKING WAIT I missed ya Mr Foyle. And of course Paul and my favourite, the beautiful Sam.
We know that the US tanks were outgunned, fire-prone like the 'Ronsons", outclassed on the tactical head to head with their opponents, but Ive always understood that for what they were, were at least reasonably well-made, relatively fast and generally mechanically reliable as far as AFVs go.In 'Brazen Chariots", which is mostly about M3 Stuarts in Nth Africa, he talks about how impressed they were with it on those scores compared to UK tank models fighting alongside it CONT
One of the best TV series ive ever seen. Pity it has so few episodes. As a aside I have to admit I would fall in love with any woman named Honeysuckle.
Or the ridiculous contraptions that they had taken to the Greek campaign..A13s or something I think, which would shed a track every time they even attempted a combat-speed turn.I think they took scores of the things to Greece, and of the entire fleet,they lost virtually all of them pretty quickly, but like 1 or 2 or 3 only were lost to direct enemy action..so that is really the kind of contrast Im talking about, but similiar picture applied to Matilda, Cruiser mkIII,Crusader, Churchill & co..
After i saw the last episode......as stupid as it sounds, i felt a bit empty. No more DCS Foyle, Paul and of course the best, sweetest and with more personality than any other character Sam Steward. Sam is the best thing of this show. I hope for an 8th season, but with Sam And Paul. It will happen, i'm sure. Long live this quality series.
How about Season 9 episode 2 trepass I really want to see this . I hope it is possible to upload this. episode 1 is uploaded but episode 2 seems to be blocked . Any comment on that.
If you ever get the chance to go to the Imperial War Museum in London be sure to take a trip on the Spitfire flight simulator, then you will appreciate wjat the pilots went through...
I would have written for Andrew and Honeysuckle to marry. She would be such a lovely daughter in law to Foyle. I sense some chemistry between Foyle and Catherine. She would be suitable for him as his wife.
Yes, the American's certainly had a 'Good War.' It's also widely know that German pianos are the best, but you should never, ever buy one made during either war period. I think the same goes for a lot of things.
@barnbersonol Err...what is "exagerrated" about it........we English are this quaint! We are polite and upsatnding and have an inert sense of fair play........that 's why we invented cricket!
Yes, I have watched this TV- film a lot. Why didn´t they include the Finnish War in 1940 and especially later 1941- 44 ? The Finn people were fighting against Russia together with Germany. But we were never nazis.
My dear man, you need to listen to the woman in the second or third part of this episode exclaim about the tractor when it will not run. Fuel problems or some such, yet she gratuitously blames it on "American rubbish."
it was a stupid comment to make at the time, US manufactured goods were certainly better than UK-made ones, UK soldiers themselves would have mostly agreed...but even today, you hear fools make comments like 'Jap crap"..same wrong perception...
Ich interessiere mich fur "Foyle's War." Zwar, das Drehbuch, da scheint ein anti-Amerikaner Perspektive zu sein. Das Traktor, ein "John Deere" war in Amerika gemacht. Die Frau sagt, "...Amerikan rubbish" wenn es nicht bedienen wurde. Das war nicht notwendig.
especially in case some dashing and dishy Jerry falls out of the sky apparently...they don't want to look like hell, let the side down...make the Germans think AdlerTag and Seelowe are not worth bothering....
you can argue crappy in some senses, but in manufacturing quality-control at least, a mile better than the British tanks as at the time of North Africa...watch extended docu "5RTR" if you can source it, it is excellent..or read BRAZEN CHARIOTS...
Then why didn't you post in that thread instead of this one? The posts in this thread relate to this clip. As for the woman with the tractor, her remarks are her own. They aren't the views of the writer or the government of the day, or the local community. Have you never heard anyone in your country talk about "French rubbish" or "Dutch rubbish" when some piece of equipment breaks down? There's no need to report it to the police. Germans are famous for their sense of humour.
Great production; great dialogues ; great characterisation: a masterpiece.

This is such an epic ep! When he comforts that lady and falls for her
thank you for this....a great series. Craig

ah, anglophilia. I've got it too. Though I am very glad my father emigrated after the war and I was born on the other side of the world.
I love Foyle's War!!!!

When the brits make a war movie Hollywood has to attend grammar school. The essence in characters presented and performance

Greenlit Productions actually, but I thought if I put that, it'd get taken down.

it looks like there are 34 episodes made. But right now very few on youtube.

without doubt they are getting close in this..

do they all pianola Prussia Gloria or "Erika" or something?

inert is right.

@@elinannestad5320 By the way....no it isn't, well not among the British it isn't, I can't speak for all the inhabitants of Britain though.

Moomintrolls forever.
Tavislota round 1 was actually in 1939..ie, the Winter War cut across 1939-40..
please stop bullshitting people to click-bait your channel. Publish na full episode or do not...for goodness sake!
A good English word, to be sure, but I do not quite fathom the use in the context of Foyle's War. In which comment I made have you a disagreement?

Roger Hamley!
Back then the average young woman weighed less than 250 pounds, too. My, how times have changed since they got "liberated"...
Ich interessiere mich fur "Foyle's War." Zwar, das Drehbuch, da scheint ein anti-Amerikaner Perspektive zu sein. Das Traktor, ein "John Deere" war in Amerika gemacht. Die Frau sagt, "...Amerikan rubbish" wenn es nicht bedienen wurde. Das war nicht notwendig.
it was a strange and perhaps unlikely line in the script..
You seem to have heard a line that doesn't exist in the script. No one said "American rubbish". Do you hear voices all the time?
I heard such a line...watched the show last night. There is such a remark regarding the tractor, which will not start because it is being mishandled..
The US even sent John Deere tractors to the UK in World War II! How cool! I even understood one German word from that plane: SCHEISS!!!
I got "Fallschirm Defekt" ,,but I know a lot of German WW2 jargon..
I didn't realise that farm girls in the UK during the war wore (or at any other time, for that matter) so much make-up. Now I know...
especially in case some dashing and dishy Jerry falls out of the sky apparently...they don't want to look like hell, let the side down...make the Germans think AdlerTag and Seelowe are not worth bothering....
The Americans will tell you the same about their crappy tanks, Count, and I've spoken to many of them.
you can argue crappy in some senses, but in manufacturing quality-control at least, a mile better than the British tanks as at the time of North Africa...watch extended docu "5RTR" if you can source it, it is excellent..or read BRAZEN CHARIOTS...
