Product description

The war is over in Britain and Foyle, among many others, must find his way in this new world. His hopes of retirement are dashed due to a shortage of senior men and he finds himself investigating international conspiracy, betrayal and military racism.

Episode 1: The Russian House, by Anthony Horowitz
DCS Foyle stumbles upon an international cover up, which, if exposed could bring down the British government, and reveal the War Office’s darkest secret yet.

Episode 2: Killing Time, by David Kane
Foyle goes head to head against the might of the US army, as racial prejudices erupt when a local girl is found murdered, and the finger of suspicion points to a black GI at the US military base.

Episode 3: The Hide
The newly retired Foyle battles to save a young man accused of high treason from the executioner’s noose, in a case that will shatter his personal world to the core...

This boxed set contains:
The Russian House
Killing Time
The Hide

    5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome return for Christopher Foyle
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2010
    Verified Purchase
    A very welcome return for Christopher Foyle. After spending the 1939-45 war policing in Hastings on the South Coast of England, having been persistently denied the chance to do something more directly for the war effort, these three episodes take him to his retirement but with the hope of something more to come.

    This could have been a series too far with the apparent finality of VE Day but Anthony Horowitz has found a way of moving the story on and is ably supported by the cast.

    Several of his old cases saw him involved with intelligence operatives so maybe he could have a place there in the future. There is room for dramatic tension because he often deplored their aims and methods. He is also off to America to complete some unfinished business, possibly with Henry Goodman's character in Fifty Ships?

    This series has the usual top notch performance from Michael Kitchen ably supported by Honeysuckle Weeks and Anthony Howell, although Howell is rather under-used in these three stories.

    Sam Stewart has to find a new role now she can no longer work with Foyle. Milner, now a police Inspector, is finding his feet and uncomfortable with his old boss. All three stories see Foyle still involved with new cases, bringing his humanity and knowledge of the nature of man to his investigations.

    The Russian House and Killing Time, despite the need to build new roles for Sam and Milner, are up to the usual standard of all of the Foyle stories of the previous series.

    But what marks this series out is The Hide, which is superb and outshines for me all of the Foyle stories so far, which is saying a great deal as I can't think of any that are not extremely good.

    James Devereaux, a soldier returned from the war, is accused of treason and refuses to defend himself, seemingly intent on being hanged. It's impossible to explain just why it is so good without giving away the plot so all I will say is that Andrew Scott as Devereaux is mesmerising. He gives a wonderfully subtle performance and his scenes with Foyle are breathtakingly moving and very powerful.

    If you are worried that this may be a series too far, don't be. If you have never seen Foyle's War but like well-made, well-acted, intelligent detective stories with a feel for time and place and depth of characterisation, give them a go and you won't be disappointed.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2013

    Michael Kitchen's taciturn portrayal of Foyle continues to spellbind the viewer as the end of the war with Germany and Japan begins to transform England.

    The series continues not just to entertain and intrigue, as the viewer tries to suss out the sources of villany for whom Foyle is in pursuit - it provides insight into aspects of the British experience that few who were born after the war realize. Just 16% of people living today were born before 1950, and although many oral histories remain in the minds of the children and grand-children of those who lived through the war, those memories are fast fading. Some facets of the war and its aftermath were not acknowledged by the government or press until the stories were dusty and no longer of great interest to a public more intertwined with the Troubles, the Falklands, the fall of the Iron Curtain, the morass of the Common Market, Bosnia, all the horrors of Muslim-sponsored murder and terrorism, Afghanistan . . .

    Turn, then, to a time when life was yet comprehensible, when it was still safe to allow the children to wander the neighborhood and to leave the house unlocked whilst nipping to the shop, when drugs were almost unheard of by most, and government intruded less ubiquitously in our private lives. Foyle is leading us through the adaptation of Britain to a New World, and showing us some of the less savoury undergrowth of the new gardens.

    The synopses of the episodes tell you the basics - but only the viewing, which I warrant you will find yourself repeating again and again as time passes, will give you the immense satisfaction so lacking in much of today's "entertaiment," which seems to rely far too much on the use of lots of incendiary devices and high-speed chases, gore and guts, or phoney "reality TV" than on competent story-telling.

    You will be mesmerised by the high-quality scripts, taut direction and editing, and above all a plethora of top-quality craftsmen of the acting profession in great form.

    Enjoy !

    5.0 out of 5 stars These are new episodes, no matter what ANYONE says!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2010

    Despite the product description, the assertions of some other reviewers, and yes, despite even the testimony of an amazon,co.uk representative, this box set undoubtedly contains the three new (2010) episodes of Foyle's War, the last of which will be aired the day before the set is released.
    The three episodes which were aired in 2008 indeed comprised the sixth series of Foyle's War, but for DVD purposes those were called the "fifth series" (as two earlier, abbreviated seasons were combined in one DVD set) and that set has been available since April 2008, just after those episodes were aired.
    To those in doubt, I will make the following three points:
    1) As another reviewer pointed out, this set is advertised on the Acorn Media website, where the description clearly states that the episodes are set after V-E day (i.e., the 2010 episodes).
    2) Note that the rating on this box set is 12, which means that none of the episodes contained in it has a stricter rating than 12. The episode "Broken Souls" from the 2008 season is rated 15-- as, indeed, is the box set that contains it.
    3) If the naysayers are correct, then the 2010 episodes are not yet available on DVD, and apparently won't be for a number of months (since it cannot even be pre-ordered yet). Yet on the American amazon.com site, there is an item called "Foyle's War-- Set 6" which will be released on June 1 (not even six weeks away) containing the 2010 episodes, as the product description asserts. Are we to believe that this fine British program will be released on DVD in the United States before it is available in the UK itself? Hardly a likely scenario.
    I'd be interested to hear responses to these points from anyone who thinks I'm incorrect.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Wonderful!!!
    Reviewed in Canada on 7 October 2014

    Absolutely a wonderful series about ordinary life in England during the second world war. Great acting and brilliant writing, this is a series that offers a glimpse of what it was like on the home front for the English people. In fact, this series was quite an education for me, as my father was a young boy of 5 living in London when England went to war against Germany and its allies.

    This was a life of rationing and dread. We feel with the characters their frustrations of day to day life, but also their spirit and determination. We feel their dread about losing their loved ones, either through bombs being dropped on them, or as soldiers. We feel the anguish of those soldiers who came back home missing limbs, or suffering from battle shock.

    I simply marvel at the skill of these actors, but most I marvel at the quality of the writing. It is absolutely superb.

    If you like a good British series with great acting and writing, along with heaps of nostalgia, this series is for you.

    Alle Serien von Foyle's War sind ausserordentlich gut. Die Charaktere erfahren über den vielen Folgen ganz individuelle Entwicklungen. Die Stories sind gut recherchiert und spannend. Ich bin eigentlich kein Fan von 'Kriegsgeschichten', aber Foyle's War ist so liebevoll und humorvoll und gleichzeit interessant erzählt. Da ich die Serien im englischen Original gesehen habe, hatte ich auch viel Spass am wunderbaren britschen Englisch. Ich bin sicher, ich werde mir irgendwann alle Folgen noch einmal ansehen :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars BBC has done it again.

    You have to see all seasons of Foyle at work. In addition to set 6 I also got set 7 and set 8. The same remarks pertain to all sets This is another great BBC series with the hero a policeman operating during the war and afterwards when he is inducted into MI5. Foyle's laid-back, quiet characterization is supplemented by that of his former ATS driver who has now married a Labour political aspirant. This is an extremely well-done BBC production. Kitchens does a remarkably consistent job throughout the whole series.

    Foyle's War is one of the best programs given on British Television.Very respectful of the period and accurate. Wonderful
    actors. One wishes it had not stopped. But this is a problem with the British, they have the tendency to put an early end to some
    of their programs,notwithstanding the wish of the viewer to see more.
